 ## Training
-Now that there is a whole load of new software on your system, you are faced with a historically grown project with various developers. This can be overwhelming at first and you wish you had a little more clarity. These are the issues this chapter is intended to address.

 ### Get an overview
-Depending on the area you want to develop in, you will of course need to get to know the development environment. There are various sources for this on YouTube, Stackoverflow, etc. Of course, no concrete tips on this project will be given to you, but it is useful to know how the development environment is structured. In the following, the structure of the VR environment is discussed and _short familiarization exercises are highlighted_.

 As of this writing (06/01/2021), there are two versions of the VR-classroom. One version is specialized for the use with Vive glasses (master branch) and the other one is specialized for Oculus glasses (oculusVersion branch). So depending on your hardware, you should check out the correct version in git (extensions). Once the project is open, you will see a folder hierarchy. All assets (folders) under "AssetStore" are designed by third party developers and have not been significantly modified. The folders starting with "own" like "ownScripts", "ownPrefabs", etc. contain own developments. The folder "Scenes" contains different seating arrangements for the virtual class and tutorial or menu environments. For own testing to get used to the project, the "Scenes" folder is recommended, although "test environments" should be removed before the first git push. _To build up an orientation, try for example to find the self-written script that manages an audio ambience for the scenes._
