Hundred Of Universities Want To Teach Virtual Reality (VR) Development But Lack Equpment

Hundreds of Universities Want to Teach VR Development, But Few Have the Equipment

Dean Takahashi | August 8. 2016



Hundreds of universities have expressed an interest in teaching virtual reality development to students, but few are equipped to do so, according to a survey by German game engine maker Crytek.
To address the problem, Crytek has created its VR First initiative that makes tools freely available to universities for VR development. Since January, 14 universities from North America, Europe, and New Zealand have joined the program.
Frankfurt, Germany-based Crytek competes with Unity Technologies, Amazon, Epic Games, and MaxPlay in the game engine business.
