Nice brief intro to understand the world of VR development and its components.
Even if it's a bit outdated for 2020 it's still a great overview of all the main pieces if you are totally new to VR

Great VR introduction

I'm very grateful to find this book. It is a great introduction to VR and has excited me very much. I'm looking forward to trying out Unity and other VR development tools referenced in the book.

An introduction of an introduction, a motivational short read. :)
