Unity Basics
Unity makes creating VR content much easier.

The Hierarchy window contains all the objects in our scene. A new scene starts with a main camera and a directional light. The Game window is what players and users will see when you build your app. The Project window contains all of the files that we will be using, creating, or importing.

Click on an object in the Hierarchy or in the Project window and look at the Inspector window to view an object or file in more detail.

Every gameobject has a transform. The position, rotation, and scale of an object can be changed visually by using the buttons at the top of the editor.

The Unity editor is very customizable. We’ll be using the “Default” layout, but you can change this at any time by dragging windows around, or by using the drop down list in the top right to switch to some of the most common.

Use the Play button at the top middle of the Unity editor to test your scene. With the Google Cardboard sdk you can hold Alt and move your mouse to simulate moving your head and change your view.

Edit a Text Element
In the Hierarchy window, click on the object with the text component. Look in the inspector for the Text Mesh Pro or Text component. Click on the text input box to change the text that appears.

Other components on an object can also be changed by editing their values in the inspector. You’ll be doing something similar for your project.

Move an Object
Click on the move tool button in the top left button group. In the Hierarchy, click on the object you want to move. Then click and drag the arrows to reposition the object.
