Unity has been doing much more than simply providing game-making tools. From data visualizations to real-life simulations, users can find a number of non-game resources in Unity’s non-games gallery.
One of such interesting pieces of software using Unity is Roames, created by the company Fugro from Brisbaine, Australia.
  Roames is a lofty project undertaken by a group of computer scientists, aiming to create layered representations of real-world locations that can be of use to the public and private sectors. The virtual environments are created by monthly flyovers a place with an onboard camera equipment that creates a point map of elevations and terrain. This data is then analyzed and used as reference to form 3-dimensional models with the Unity program.


 the engine's many tutorials and resources are offering users a chance to learn through hands-on experience.  For those interested in getting serious about games as a career, there are plenty of formal learning opportunities with Unity and even certifications that increase the individual's professional value.

    
  From the visualization users are able to determine street dimensions, encroaching vegetation, power line height, and much more. It is easy to see how this could become an important asset for urban development in the future. Fugro chose Unity because of its AR and VR capabilities out of the box. They were also able to modify the core engine, which was important to the team. To learn more about Fugro Roames you can watch the video below.

  Parallel to that, Unity is committed to improving game tech in general and offers graduate students researching machine learning a grant -the Unity Global Graduate Fellowship - in the value of USD 30,000.
If that wasn’t enough, Unity has also been engaged in social causes that push for a more connected, free and tolerant world. One example of this is the Unity Without Borders program, that provides 50 game-developers from impacted nations with a chance to attend the Unity Europe Conference. Among the benefits of the program are visa sponsoring, plane tickets, hotel stays, tickets to the event and a daily allowance.

The engine's software is also open-source, allowing people to fork (modify it to a certain degree) whenever their projects need it.
That also means the engine can be used outside




Unity truly aligns itself with the spirit of hacktivism , promoting knowledge accessibility in massive-scale.

  These facts, however, do not confer universal approval and Unity has faced a fair share of faultfinders. We will see next what are the arguments against Unity in the following segment: Critics
