unity ar vr

VR and AR present a formidable set of challenges from both a software and hardware perspectives. From graphics and rendering performance, to the intricacies of storytelling and advanced authoring user interfaces, a lot of what we knew before needs to be rethought, re-architected and re-implemented. To that end, Unity is very busy working with its main VR/AR partners to provide our developers with the best tools, technologies and run-time engine to support their VR/AR creation and development efforts.

从软件和硬件的角度来看，VR和AR提出了一系列严峻的挑战。 从图形和渲染性能，到讲故事和高级创作用户界面的复杂性，我们需要重新思考，重新构造和重新实现很多我们以前知道的知识。 为此，Unity忙于与其主要的VR / AR合作伙伴合作，为我们的开发人员提供最佳的工具，技术和运行时引擎，以支持其VR / AR的创建和开发工作。

短期 (The Short Term)

At Unity, VR and AR are have both short- and long-term visions. The short term effort, over the next 6-12 months, is directly aimed at making the task of creating high quality VR and AR content easier for our developers. It consists of several key projects :

在Unity，VR和AR都具有短期和长期愿景。 在接下来的6到12个月中，短期的工作直接旨在使我们的开发人员更轻松地创建高质量的VR和AR内容。 它由几个关键项目组成：

• VR/AR Platforms

长期的 (The Long Term)

The longer term effort is being managed by Unity Labs, a newly-created entity inside Unity in charge of exploring the future of game and VR/AR related technologies, and examining what repercussions those technologies will have for our developers and our mission of democratizing game development.

长期的工作是由Unity Labs管理的，Unity Labs是Unity内部的新创建实体，负责探索游戏和VR / AR相关技术的未来，并研究这些技术将对我们的开发人员产生什么样的影响，以及我们使游戏民主化的使命发展。

This long term vision is based on an effort to imagine how, if we take VR and AR together as a single piece of technology, they could end up completely transforming the way we create and interact with content within the next decade. With a merged, coherent and powerful AR/VR technology millions of users would then create, play and learn in virtual worlds created by Unity developers.

这项长远的愿景基于一种努力，即想象一下，如果我们将VR和AR结合在一起作为一项技术，它们将最终在未来十年内彻底改变我们创建内容并与内容进行交互的方式。 借助融合，一致且强大的AR / VR技术，数百万用户将可以在Unity开发人员创建的虚拟世界中创建，玩耍和学习。

But this is also about imagining a future where game authoring will be made easier through creating and developing within the VR worlds themselves. A future where creating triple-A games is within the reach of ever smaller creative teams. A future where assets understand each other. The glass knows it is on a the table and can fall. The wheel knows it can connect to the car and propel the car forward. Assets have metadata. Assets are smart and thus contribute to a far easier and simplified authoring experience in order to produce far more sophisticated games and content. Assets are part of a semantic ontology that provide the foundation for AI assisted authoring. Worlds can be procedurally generated with neuro evolution algorithms: mixture of genetic and NN+machine learning algorithms. The definition of a developer and gamer is blending. The possibilities are enormous. Custom designed economic policies based on generic blockchain technologies? What if we give worlds creators the possibility of defining their own economies and connect them together securely? These are only few examples of the technological components that will most probably be required to build such such virtual worlds (or metaverses if we keep in trend with the literature!).

但这也关乎想象一个未来，通过在VR世界本身中进行创建和开发，游戏创作将变得更加容易。 规模较小的创意团队可以实现创造AAA游戏的未来。 资产相互了解的未来。 杯子知道它在桌子上并且会掉落。 车轮知道它可以连接到汽车并推动汽车前进。 资产具有元数据。 资产很聪明，因此可以简化和简化创作体验，从而制作出更加复杂的游戏和内容。 资产是语义本体的一部分，它为AI辅助创作提供了基础。 可以使用神经进化算法在程序上生成世界：遗传算法和NN +机器学习算法的混合。 开发人员和游戏玩家的定义是混合的。 可能性是巨大的。 基于通用区块链技术的定制经济政策？ 如果我们为世界创造者提供定义自己的经济并将其安全地联系在一起的可能性，该怎么办？ 这些只是构建此类虚拟世界所需的技术组件的极少数示例(如果我们与文献保持潮流，则可能是metaverse！)。

研究项目 (Research Projects)

What is interesting about the metaverses is not that we will see the exact replica of the Oasis being created in the next year; but rather how they provide us with a powerful metaphor to start thinking about the future of game authoring technologies.

关于这些元宇宙的有趣之处在于，我们不会看到明年创建的绿洲的确切复制品。 而是它们如何为我们提供强大的隐喻，以开始思考游戏创作技术的未来。

Creating and managing such virtual worlds presents very complex technological and authoring challenges that need to be addressed and will help us frame our vision toward providing our developers with the best possible tools and features in a not too distant future.

创建和管理这样的虚拟世界提出了非常复杂的技术和创作挑战，需要解决这些挑战，这将有助于我们构想在不久的将来为开发人员提供最佳工具和功能的愿景。

Unity Labs is already contemplating multiple research projects into the most important areas:

Unity Labs已经考虑将多个研究项目纳入最重要的领域：

These are just some of the different areas we are committed and focused on. Unity is dedicated to making VR/AR development as frictionless as possible for our developers and as rich as possible for their users.

这些只是我们致力于和关注的一些不同领域。 Unity致力于使VR / AR开发对我们的开发人员尽可能地减少摩擦，对他们的用户来说尽可能丰富。

Unity Labs is a newly created entity inside Unity in charge of exploring the future of game and VR/AR related technologies and what it means for our developers and our effort at democratizing game development.

Unity Labs是Unity内部的一个新创建的实体，负责探索游戏和VR / AR相关技术的未来，以及对开发人员的意义以及我们对使游戏开发民主化的努力。
