I spent 80% of my time on a slightly customized version of Unreal Engine for Developers in-VR Editor (by Epic Games). It enables sophisticated in-VR level design and a good part of Unreal’s interface is exposed within it. What are the best development tools that can be used inside VR? Absolutely! More collaboration and openness is key!

My suggestion to them is to start first of all to learn Unity and C#, or Unreal and C++. Unity is easier and has a stronger community, but Unreal has better graphical performances and better support for enterprise. In Italy for instance there is the Event Horizon school or the Big Rock. If in doubt, choose Unity.

And this is even truer for countries that are not at the cutting edge of technology : what is new in Italy, is probably old in the US. Whatever you think that is “old” is probably “new and incredible” for someone that is outside our circles. Remember that, when thinking about your business.

A final mention goes to the fact that now it is summer and here in Italy it is quite hot. Being a developer, of course one of the first things that I did was digging into the bHaptics SDK, that you can find on the Unity asset store or on Unreal Engine Marketplace. Luckily, if you find the right fit this doesn’t happen.
