Austin Unity User Group - Transferable Skills: From Games to Industry

Talk Summary:
Curious where your Unity chops can take you beyond games? Join Jones Levenson, Partner Relations Manager at Unity, for a fast-paced tour of the engine’s industrial side. Jones will share how his path through “industrial gaming” led to Unity, then pull back the curtain on how factories, automakers, architects, and trainers are using the same tools you already know to build real‑world simulations, digital twins, AR/VR training, and more.

This is a beginner‑friendly intro for anyone with Unity experience, from hobbyists to seasoned devs. In this talk, you'll learn how your existing games experience in Unity can translate into non-gaming careers. If you’re looking to diversify your portfolio, find new contracts, or just get inspired by non-game projects, this talk is a great place to start.
