How to manage VR projects
developed in Unity and Varwin XRMS

Uniform standards for VR projects with Varwin XRMS: create, edit, scale!

Varwin | Virtual Reality App Development Company And Service / Home / XRMS / What is it




Unity
Unity is a development framework that allows users to create games and projects. Most popular platforms use this development framework. In fact, more than 60% of all VR, 3D, and mobile applications (as well as games) are created using Unity. And to create VR projects on the Unity framework, developers are required to have knowledge of the C# programming language.
This means that editing a VR project developed on the Unity framework requires a qualified C# programmer to make changes in the script. And, if the tasks of the VR project are flexible and involve systematic variations,
a programmer will be required on a regular basis. This is why we offer Varwin XRMS platform to manage and edit VR projects.

Varwin XRMS

Varwin XRMS is a platform based on the Unity engine. But with the XRMS platform, users without any programming skills are able to easily manage and make changes to VR projects.

This means that Varwin XRMS users have the power to create, edit, and control their 3D and VR content. No developers or programmers are required. In addition to simplicity and independence, the XRMS platform also offers compatibility.

Frequently asked questions

Does this mean that I can edit a stock VR project with Varwin XRMS without any assistance?
Yes, that’s right. Managing a VR project is as easy as creating a PowerPoint presentation: make your own changes using the visual puzzle block editor. And you can view your results immediately!
What files will we get after the development of the VR project?
You will get a .vwp file to be opened on the Varwin XRMS platform. Just drag and drop the file to the platform from anywhere on your computer and run the project on your PC or VR device!
What is Varwin SDK and why is it needed for development?

Varwin SDK is a free application for exporting objects and scenes from Unity to Varwin XRMS. Any model can be exported from Unity to our platform using this tool. Varwin SDK is what makes it possible to reuse previously created Varwin XRMS objects for other projects.

Do you model unique 3D objects? What is the process? What format do they have?
Yes, we model custom-made 3D objects. To do this, 3D objects are created in special programs such as Blender, Autodesk, or Maya. These programs create models that have no capabilities. These models are then imported into Unity and the coding is performed. Once the models are coded, they are transformed into three-dimensional objects with physical features and functions. Then they are exported to Varwin XRMS using Varwin SDK. The final objects are produced in .vwo format and are then used in the Varwin XRMS platform. Varwin objects are unique as they can be reused in other projects created on Varwin XRMS. This feature helps to considerably reduce the time and cost of developing a VR project.
Why is the development of a VR project using Unity + Varwin XRMS quicker than when using only Unity?
When developing a VR project using only Unity, it is necessary to take into account the time needed to customize the project for specific platforms and VR headsets. For example, if you ordered the development of a VR project on Unity for the HTC Vive VR helmet, the project will run only on this specific device. Varwin XRMS is a cross-platform application that allows a VR project to run on both a PC and most VR headsets. That is why development time is more than cut in half!
What is the main difference between developing a VR project using only the Unity platform versus using 
Unity + Varwin XRMS?
Developing a VR project using only the Unity platform does not allow for immediate editing; a qualified programmer will be required to make changes. Development on Unity with Varwin XRMS allows for editing, modifying, and updating the project without requiring any coding knowledge. It is both simple and efficient, saving time and lowering costs. Any trained employee can make modifications to the finished project!

How do you start managing a VR project
with Varwin XRMS?

In order to manage a stock project, programming skills are not required: it is enough
to complete the basic project management training on Varwin XRMS. There is a visual block designer similar to PowerPoint on the platform. This makes it easy to make changes to the project in just a few seconds.

Who can manage a ready-to-use VR project?

  • Project management specialists can be marketing consultants, HR staff,
    safety personnel etc.
  • IT specialists
  • Any employee who completes the basic training (only 72 classroom hours)
