Development off-site you will be expected to have a PC that is capable of running Visual Studio, Android Studio and Unity and a Video card that will interface with a HTC Vive Pro Headset (should you wish to loan a VR headset from the college). It is also recommended that the computer supports virtulisation if you want to run the mobile phone emulation in Android studio. The college provide dedicated labs with high end computing for you to work on-site so the above advice is to allow working outside of college. As a minimum it is expected that you have a Microsoft based PC capable of running Visual Studio and a broadband internet connection.
