Abstract
Unity 3D is an integrated authoring tool for creating 3D interactive environments, such as games and real-time 3D visualizations. Unity consists of both an editor, for designing content, and a game engine, for executing the final product. Over the recent years since its inception in 2006, Unity was given several awards, including Wall Street Journal 2010 Technology Innovation Award and Gamasutra 2009 Top 5 Game Companies. Additionally, the company was held partly responsible for the democratization of the game development process.
