This book covers everything that you need to know about Unity VR. It not only covers VR specific areas such as grabbable objects and sockets, but also covers lighting, sound and render pipelines. It finishes with a chapter on how to optimize your VR project. I highly recommend this book.

This book is an excellent resource for utilizing VR in Unity. The author effectively describes implementations and design theories, providing a comprehensive understanding of how things operate in the VR world. It strikes a great balance, catering to both beginners and advanced Unity users, and it also includes valuable GitHub resources. Highly recommended!

I enjoy Steven's approach of going beyond the technical and diving into the theoretical basis of what VR is. I'm still in the midst of the rich resource but as an avid Unity user and aspiring VR artist, I think this is an excellent place to build your skills in the field.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
