Bachelor's Thesis
Unity DOTS in production

DOTS pathfinding implementation in VR & AR | 2021

Unity’s Data-oriented technology stack (DOTS) is Unity’s approach to Data-oriented design in Unity. DOTS promises great performance gains compared to the current object-oriented Unity game development. DOTS is still in preview, which gives reason to research its current capabilities.

This thesis aimed to find out if DOTS was ready to be used in production. The secondary goal of the thesis was to test the compatibility of VR and AR with DOTS.
