Overview
Create XR is a 12-week immersive learning programme designed to introduce young creatives (16–25) to virtual and augmented reality development. Delivered at Wales Millennium Centre, the course focuses on hands-on learning through Unity and real-time creative workflows.
The Challenge
Participants entered with little to no experience in XR or game engines. The goal was to build confidence, technical understanding, and creative output within a short timeframe—while keeping the experience accessible and engaging.
Approach
The programme combined structured teaching with open exploration:
Introduced Unity fundamentals (assets, environments, interactions)
Encouraged rapid prototyping and idea-led development
Supported participants in building their own XR concepts
Facilitated peer learning and collaborative problem-solving
The focus was not just on technical skills, but on helping participants understand how immersive experiences are designed—from concept to execution.
Outcome
Participants completed the programme with working XR prototypes and a foundational understanding of immersive production pipelines. The course continues to support new entrants into the creative technology sector, building confidence and capability in emerging tools.
