Building a VR multiplayer application
In this section, you’ll craft your first VR multiplayer application. Though it involves a fair amount of C# coding, you’ve gained enough knowledge to smoothly navigate this tutorial. But before we dive in, let’s pause and delve into the nuances of constructing multiplayer applications, the necessary components, and the appeal of multiplayer experiences within the XR context.
Understanding multiplayer applications and multiplayer networking systems
At its core, a multiplayer experience allows multiple users to interact within a shared digital environment simultaneously. This environment can range from simple text-based interfaces to complex virtual realities. The key components of a multiplayer experience typically include servers that host the game environment, networking systems that handle data synchronization and communication, player avatars, and game logic that governs interaction rules.
