Summary

Google's VR team, led by Product Manager Nathan Martz, is focused on making virtual reality widely accessible through initiatives like Google Cardboard and Daydream, which utilize smartphones for VR experiences. To further promote VR development, Google has released the Google VR SDK with native support for Unity and UE4, simplifying the process for developers. In collaboration with Udacity, Google has launched the VR Developer Nanodegree, designed to teach students how to create immersive and comfortable VR environments. This program emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to build a portfolio of VR experiences, even as VR technology remains in its early stages with over 50 million Google Cardboard app installs on Google Play.
