Virtual Reality (VR) games and experiences are not only fun to play and try, but also appeal to some people from the other side - how they are created. There are a number of platforms that support VR, although there are quite a few 4 main - Oculus Rift and HTC Vive for PC and Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard for mobile devices. They all share many similarities, though there are also some specific differences for each and everything. So before you want to start learning how to develop you need to focus on one of these platforms and start with it and then it will be much easier to expand onto the others as well with some basic VR knowledge that has been discussed.

There are many places to help you get started, and even if you do not plan to become a developer, you may still be interested in how everything is created and done for Virtual Reality. One such place is VR Dev School. This is a website that offers Virtual Reality Developer Training through a series of FREE courses that cover the basics for all major VR platforms mentioned above, so this is a great starting point. The best of all is that most of the available courses (not many) are available for free, so you need to go through a quick and simple registration in order to access them.
