Inside Circuit Stream
Let’s now review the features of Circuit Stream in more detail.
- Course catalogue – Circuit Stream courses give you real-world skills for developing in Unity, Vive, Oculus, HoloLens, Magic Leap, and Valve Index environments. The full-length courses offer learners professional level certifications as well as a complete capstone project at the end of the course to add to your portfolio. Full-length courses are taught via live sessions.
- Workshops – Circuit Stream also facilitates on-demand learning through live and pre-recorded workshops. These cover non-technical topics such as accessibility and wow factor, as well as highly technical skills like building a spatially aware robot in Unity, or the art of moving. You can register for any of these workshops even if you aren’t a long-term subscription-based customer.
- Course bundles – Circuit Stream bundles provide learning packages and an Oculus Quest 2 headset at a discounted price. You can add on one-on-one sessions to get your doubts resolved by a dedicated expert across 5 or 10 hours. Remember, live sessions, full courses, and short courses are available both as standalone offerings and bundles.
- Enterprise training – Circuit Stream’s primary value proposition is its enterprise training solution, bringing together expert features, a learning platform, and battle-tested course design. All learners get certified via Unity (developer and artist), and courses are customisable as per your business requirements. Organisations like BMW and UC Davis partner with Circuit Stream for AR/VR learning and project acceleration.
- The Circuit Stream Platform – As mentioned, Circuit Stream’s flagship is its turnkey AR/VR learning and training platform that guides your Dev team throughout the project and enables secure hosting, management, and deployment. Apps built on Circuit Stream can be deployed across Google Glass, HoloLens, Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus, and 10 other XR devices without having to recreate the content from scratch. Circuit Stream also offers enterprise-level security, thanks to ISO 27001 certification and traffic encryption. It also ships with access privilege controls for user-level security orchestration.
Why Circuit Stream Makes a Difference
Companies new to AR/VR, but with long-term plans for their XR investment, can opt for Circuit Stream instead of outsourcing to a managed provider.
Circuit Stream offers guided assistance from some of the world’s leading minds in AR/VR, speeding your project lifecycle. Where needed, the team will even create AR/VR content for you, from scratch, as per your custom specifications. The platform integrates with your learning management system (LMS) to monitor skill progress and employee development.
Another differentiator when using Circuit Stream is its Unity partner status. All courses on Circuit Stream come with Unity certification, which can be an attractive benefit for employees at startups and XR specialists. A Unity-certified developer or Unity-certified artist commendation can significantly increase L&D participation at your company.
Finally, Circuit Stream offers a variety of consumption models, meant for independent professionals, small teams, and large enterprises. Casual learners can opt for single workshops or short courses, while large enterprises can leverage the Circuit Stream platform to aid in AR/VR learning as well as development.
What We Think
As demand for XR gradually increases (be it for consumer gaming/content, corporate training, or field services), AR/VR will be among the hottest skills over the next few years. Instead of fragmented learning and informal skill development, Circuit Stream gives you a systematic way to upskill your workforce in both the technical and non-technical aspects of immersive reality.
