Iirc there is a setting to use 3DoF mode.
If not, is locking even needed? Some movement might be nice even for video

[dusty jetty]

i need it locked as i need to identify objects in the 360 video so I have positioned objects that are hidden but can be clicked on, it works perfectly but if you then move your head the objects are no longer lined up, so as i have unchecked Use position tracking on OVR manager the camera no longer moves, so that is exactly what i need, however the controllers are moving if i move my head, need them to initially position based on the camera but then should not be updated

[astral heart]

I have an issue where in my headset it only shoes the skybox instead of my scene and its static so the skybox is moving with the headset. I cant even see my controllers lazers here some screenshots:

How to make an asymmetrical vr game???

[brazen pawn]

how would i go about getting an input from a specific controller in the scene using the action based controller

[broken anvil]

right so i am trying to snap this RAM onto a motherboard but can't seem to get this to work, any suggestions?

[sullen dragon]

How would I be able to fix the following issue with UI buttons? Whenever I click this button it seems to double click and when running it in the editor the debug log I have runs twice.

[devout narwhal]

Have you ever figured this out? Trying to get FFR working on my project too and it just wont set properly. Even render scale did not work until I downgraded to Unity 2020.3

[north path]

What do you mean?

[cobalt eagle]

I wanna know how to make an asymmetrical local multiplayer pc vs vr game but i dunno how

[north path]

Ahhh
You basically make 2 games. 1 for VR and 1 with PC and you link those.
If it's on 1 PC you can set the pc player camera as output to the screen, while vr is doing VR.
If its not on 1 system you gotta network it

Hello, I would like to take a box with both hands in VR, but it is not very conclusive.

I have not seen any tutorial online, does someone have an idea? Thanks in advance !

[north path]

What system do you use? XR Interaction Toolkit?
If so, i think the latest version has 2 handed grab, but just google XR Interaction Toolkit 2 hand grab

[lapis dawn]

Yeah I use it, I will search

[limpid narwhal]

Curious if anyone can assist me here...
But, on the component "XR Interactor Line Visual" -- there's a Blocked Color Gradient and Blocked Reticle.
I've tried to figure it out, but what causes a Ray to go into this "blocked" state? 🤔
I only ever get Valid or Invalid.

Probably a better place to ask then just Unity-Talk. 🤣

[tiny niche]

probably a collider on the interaction layer that does not have an interactible script

[errant ice]

hi can anyone help me figure out why my arms wont move with my main camera? I've tried for like 3 hours now and can not for the life of me figure out why its not working. for more context I'm trying to use inverse kinematics and its working but needs to be tweaked a bit but I cant tweak it because they aren't in the right position and cant adjust them in play mode and they wont follow my main camera I want it where when I lean to the sides/ forward and back and they follow but don't when I look up or down

[sage jackal]

Hellosevelt - I'm in the process of making a UI attached to a controller that appears when looked at. Glancing at the canvas ui on my wrist sets the line color of the ray interactor on my main camera to valid, but the canvas is always visible. I think my confusion may be with the interactor events for hover. I currently have the hover events on the headset ray interctor set to the UI canvas using the function bool enabled under canvas, though this is not working.

Additional note: I'm using the deprecated XR interaction toolkit as this has been the only way I've had success with my CV1

[north path]

How did you set up the iks?

[storm ether]

Hi everyone, I did the 1.3 Grabbable Objects tutorial in VR pathway but in my project a strange thing happens, when I grab one of the three balls on the cabinet, the other nearby objects fly away. What can be the cause? I can't figure it out. Thank you all for your cooperation. PS The other items are grabbable too, its like the object I pick up collides with everyone near it.

[floral mural]

Does anyone here have any experience with Pico development? I need some help with implementing Cloud Backup. I seem to have followed all the steps and cloud backup is triggering when launching for the first time, however the data is not restored OR the data being restored is older than the data that was present at uninstall time

Seems like the issue is really hard to debug as there is no callback functionality on the Cloud Restore function which makes it hard to figure out when and where things go wrong. However it may be possible that the files that are being restored are actually being overwritten. I cant really be sure about anything unless I get the whole picture. If anyone here has any experience building for Pico, maybe you could point me in the right direction

[rustic canopy]

hey all - anyone know what the best version of unity is for starting a new, probably long term VR project? 2021 LTS w/ URP maybe? any known pitfalls or versions to avoid? Thanks!

[crude frost]

I'm using the Continuous Move Provider (Action-Based) script in my project.
Clicking left joystick, disables the component.
Clicking the left joystick again, enables the component.

On Quest 2, when I re-enable the component, everything freezes for a second, and then I can no longer enable the component. I'm stuck. But, continuous turn still works.

On PCVR build, no issues.

On Pico Neo 3 build, no issues.

Any idea whats causing this issue?

[crude frost]

I'm working on 2 teams, and we had to scrap URP on both projects. Framerates took huge hits. We switched to Standard and got stable 72 fps. But, I would get latest 2021 LTS for sure.

[north path]

Yep the latest 2021 has some performance fixes, so it's probably the best version to use rn

[lapis dawn]

Hi, after some research I tried to make it work but my efforts are in vain, I don't know if these are really made for that. Do you have an idea ?

[north path]

What do you mean?

[lapis dawn]

I failed to make it possible to grab an object with two hands

I cant really help much more than look for guides, maybe on youtube

I use VR Interaction Framework which has it built in

[zenith pasture]

Could someone give me some advice here please? I am using the built-in tool for creating custom hand poses, but this is what happens when I actually try to create one - the ghost hand is waay smaller than my actual hand and I cant really grasp the object afterwards

not to mention - two hand grab seems totally broken

this is what happens when I try a two-hand grab

[round mortar]

I created a default actionbased xr origin, but the head isn't tracking. I have installed and imported the default input actions and I can move and rotate the camera with the mock hmd. The issue only happens when I try to actually use a headset. This component is on the Main Camera.

[rugged hearth]

so I used a tutorial for exporting to for the quest 2 and this popped up when I pressed build

anyone know what could be causing the issue/how to fix?

[round mortar]

am I just dumb, or does the action based controller not have enough actions to cover the trigger, grip, primary and secondary buttons.

I'm only finding select, activate and UI press

[round mortar]

[knotty dust]

hey. is there a voice channel that i can join?

[buoyant jolt]

If you are still stuck on that problem, the unity error log will show you why that failed in more detail. Click on each red error and look for the build failure cause. It might list multiple of them. You'll need to read the entire error log to find the culprit. It's usually something simple to fix.

[tiny niche]

what you're looking at is the simplified interaction toolkit component, which has less features than most headsets today

you can add more actions though and there's bindings that cover entire controllers available

[round mortar]

ok thank you. I found a workaround by making the ui pressed be the primary button and the ui pressed value be the secondary button, but in future I'll probably do something more like that

[round mortar]

Sorry just one more question. This component is what I'm using to handle inputs. Do you mean that there's a way to add additional actions to it, or did you mean something else?

[tiny niche]

no i meant the asset that its binding the actions to. I don't normally use the xr controller script

and when i do, its just a placeholder while i work on other things

[strong cobalt]

i made this script and for some reason there is an error and it will not give me an option to choose the reference in the inspector

Someone please help

[tiny niche]

your code does not compile, make sure you configure vscode to actually open the project and compile it

[strong cobalt]

how do i do that

[tiny niche]

that is not really a vr question, but take a look at a vscode c# tutorial

[little jetty]

you should use localPosition not localposition

Ok

[main quarry]

I have to port a project from oculus android to steamVR

I installed the SteamVR plugin

I can test it through SteamVR, but my inputs are totally ignored

I see steam use his own actions

My project is working with Unity's new input system

I would like to create a map from steam inputs to unity's input so that I haven't to rewrite all code to add the steam input

how to?

[pulsar zodiac]

Hey guys...
some of your projects, XRRaycast just stopped detecting the UI?

I don't know the moment, but these days to here my XRRaycast is not working anymore....
I tried changing the layers, I think everything, but nothing happens..

3D raycast still working

[north path]

@main quarry just use OpenXR and it will work on steamvr without the setup stuff

[main quarry]

oh, really?

How should I test it? testing with oculus link and steam vr application it doesn't gets the input

I see the scene, controllers and headset position and rotation is updated correctly, but no keys are taken. now i'm trying with a build for windows

[north path]

OpenXR supports both oculus link and steamvr. Did you add the controller profiles in openxr tab for desktop?

[lapis dawn]

hi, i have an issue when i try to grab my object with two hands :
when i try to grab my object, it rotates of 90 degrees

build works as expected... pc vr setup start correctly, but no input received

[main quarry]

where?

[north path]

Yep its there
How are your controls setup?

And is OpenXR selected in the xr plugin management menu? (and not oculus)

[main quarry]

What do you mean with controls setup?

I removed steamVR package and made a build

this build works as pcvr

with inputs too

I can deploy this build to steam even if no SteamVR package is used?

[quiet nymph]

hello, someone know if it's possible use Quest Pro passtrough with HDRP Unity project?

[pine bison]

I don't think it's possible to run HDRP on quest, full stop. I just don't think you can strip it down enough to run at a good framerate. I might be wrong, but I haven't seen anyone do it

[quiet nymph]

Not even connected to the pc or with air link? In this way quest pro can use the power of PC

[pine bison]

That's a different thing, it might work but I don't know it it's supposed to https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-passthrough-over-link/

Note: Passthrough over Oculus Link is a developer-only feature aiming to increase your development speed by previewing your passthrough-enabled apps while still in development.

[north path]

Like how you read input. Do you use XR Interaction Framework?

[north path]

Yes, OpenXR is cross platform

OpenXR will work on streamvr, oculus, windows mr, and standalones with support

[main quarry]

No, I'm not using XR Interaction Framework, I have a plain implementation

[north path]

No, passthrough and hand tracking are only available on standalone, or inside of Unity, but not in builds

[north path]

Then you need to add support for openxr yeah

Use the generic XR controller bindings

[main quarry]

ok

[quiet nymph]

Well I have a project in URP and passtrough work also with PC Build

[north path]

Hmmm interesting, when I tried as soon as I built it it stopped working

Was it a development build?

[quiet nymph]

I linked VR to PC and start the build on PC all works fine but only in URP

[quiet nymph]

no

[north path]

Cool

Then I am unsure, maybe hdrp doesnt even have ar support since most ar stuff is mobile

Maybe ask on the forums?

can anyone point me toward information regarding early frames on quest?

searched fairly exhaustively but cannot find much

[quaint canopy]

how could i navigate ui by punching it? with openxr

[storm coral]

you could make a physical button or have a script that activates when interacted with if your hands have a direct interactor component

[mystic quiver]

is there a way i can have an if statement for if im grabbing the object the script is attached to??

[quartz slate]

if(grabbedGameObject.transform == this.transform) { }... ought to do

[north path]

Both are fine, just make sure to develop with OpenXR and then you can support most platforms quite easily

[north path]

What do you mean?

[quartz slate]

apparently it occurs when the application gives a frame to the quest "too early", which can cause it to either use some strange interpolation methods to try and keep things smooth, or simply induce some lag

the ovr metrics tool give a way to detect them

[neon raven]

thank you!!

[north path]

Is optimize frame pacing enabled? Sounds a bit like it maybe

[daring patio]

good morning everyone. i am writing my thesis (comparison of using virtual reality in a BIM software and graphics engine like Unity).

Hey everyone, could i have some help.

I am wanting to create a football system, where the player punches the ball (hand controller collission) the ball moves
Is anyone here able to help me with this?

[north path]

What did you try and what isnt working?
If the ball and hands have rigidbodies it should work

[sick oak]

I am really new to unity so I didn't Tey much idk what a lot of it does just yet

Tried sphere collider but we'll. As you'll know it just turned into a floating solid sphere to climb on

[north path]

Follow a vr guide to get the vr player working first

Then start adding the gameplay around it

If you dont have any basis you cant build on it

[sick oak]

I have been following tutorials but for my kinda game there's not a lot

I've been following and enjoying ones by valem

I've gotten to apoint where i can make things with no guides or tutorial

[north path]

Then what is the issue with your mechanic if you can do it without haha

[sick oak]

@north path

my football is limb-ist

doesnt like hands but will accept body collission

[north path]

Add more mass to the hands maybe? Or just use .addforce? It's hard to ser what happens if youre jumping around.

[sick oak]

when im jumping im slapping the ball

but its repelling me

like its an object

but if i use my body, it moves

[north path]

Read collision and do the physics manually maybe

[sick oak]

i wouldnt know how xD

is there anywhere i can learn this?

idea

should i make some sort of collider attached to the hand

invisible

use that?

oh i might know the issue but ill still need ur help

[north path]

OnCollisionEnter

Maybe start with the VR development course on unity learn

[sick oak]

is it cos it still has a sphere collider on it?
The locomotion system i have is set to use the hands to propell me

to move

it could be a conflict

only issue being, if i take away the sphere collider it well

just falls through the map

[north path]

Maybe the body is colliding with the hands

[north path]

Try this to get used to unity maybe

[sick oak]

so it sorta worked...

is there a way i can get the ball not to collide with the hands but still collide with a collision sphere on the hands?

[storm coral]

Create new interaction layers and go to project settings > physics and check off that box that overlaps with the ball and the hand

[quaint canopy]

in openxr, how do i set the vr camera to a different position/switch to a different camera once my game starts?

Ive been playing around for a while now and im struggling, Heres an example of what im trying to make.
Can anyone help me?

Im struggling to get the ball collission with the hand to work properly

[north path]

Are the collisions on continues?

[north path]

Add weight to the rigidbody?

[lapis dawn]

i would like to simulate an object of 20kg, what i must put into the mass and drag values ?

also, when i put an object on the top of another, it makes a bouncy effect it's strange

i also have an object i would like to be heavier than other objects however with the grabbable component it seems to just attach and follow the hand, even with velocity tracking I can still just lift the barrel in the air

[north path]

20 for mass, drag depends on what drag you want

[north path]

Use physics materails

[north path]

Maybe use a joint of some kind?

[lapis dawn]

how ?

[lapis dawn]

what is it ?

[north path]

Google how physics in unity works

Im not going to explain all the basics

[sick oak]

I have no idea. I didn't make that game

[north path]

Then check or have that person reach out.
Fixing another person's project without knowing fundamentals is really hard

[sick oak]

Yeah unfortunately i wont be able to get in contact with them, they are an extremely toxic developer which the community is enraged about because they changed their game to be extremely money hungry. Its a long story but irrelevant ig lol

basically with gorilla locomotion (your legs are replaced with your arms)
The arms collide with objects to propell you. however they do not "collide" with the ball the same way, the arms can phase through but still apply motion to the ball as if it was hit

[north path]

But you dont have the project itself?

[lapis dawn]

It worked thanks

[sick oak]

of whats in the video no

as a built game yes

[north path]

Then why do you ask for help to fix it?

[sick oak]

nono im not

im asking how id do that sort of collision

[north path]

Physics xD

[north path]

Ah

[sick oak]

the physics i have with the ball are so whack tho

on mine

[north path]

Then this is still a question if you are having issues with it

[sick oak]

idk, im just using a rigid body and sphere colider

but even then its really janky

[sick oak]

i think you mean this right?
Thats what its set to

[north path]

Maybe try normal continues for now

And try out physics material

And it depends how you move the hand gameobjects. You need to use rigidbody.moveposition and not transform.position =

[sick oak]

What i need to do which ill think will help

is stop the spheres on the hands colliding with the ball

but idk how to do that

is there anything i can do you know of to let that happen?

the ball on my game feels incredibly heavy idk why

lemme get example video

@north path

[sick oak]

any ideas?

the ball is super heavy but im pretty sure these settings should make it light

[sick oak]

;-;

anyone?

[sullen dragon]

hasSelection takes a few frames to update? And more than one gameobjects get Spawned..Any Solutions?

[main quarry]

Hi again

Steamworks reply to my deploy attempt:

I'm using OpenXR backend

what could I do to fix this?

I personally use the oculus app to connect device to PC so I didn't notice that problem

[tiny niche]

put the character ontroller on a separate layer, since typically you only want it colliding with the environment

[sullen dragon]

Fixed it

Thank you

[raw ice]

I'm having some issues with the Oculus Lipsync SDK and animations. Is there anyone that could answer a couple of questions?

[tiny niche]

its far more likely if you state the questions up front

[raw ice]

I'm specifically trying to get the oculus lipsyc sdk to function alongside other animations. I have gotten the sdk to animate properly with just a microphone input, and I've been able to add an idle animation as well, but it will only play if I remove the lipsyc. Is there a way to control the face rig with the lipsyc script while using an fbx animation to control the rest of the body?

I guess I'm not really looking for answers but rather to be nudged in the right direction. I'm honestly trying to learn as much of this as I can on my own.

[tiny niche]

you'd want to blend the animations then. rght now you probably have 1 source override the other

so you'd want some blending and a filter

[raw ice]

Yes, that's what I'm thinking is happening. I'm reading about avatar masks now, but The lipsync is procedurally generated and I'm not sure how to mask that since it's not an animation that I can apply a mask too.

[tiny niche]

well a mask is applied for the rig, which is either bones or vertices in this case

so you could mask the face vertices and additively blend the main rig with that

additive blending would in this case mean you multiply the transforms

[raw ice]

Ok, thanks. I'll search the documentation for additive blending and animations. That should get me closer. Thank you.

[raw ice]

From what I can tell, I need to have the lipsync animations on a layer "above" the base layer. The base layer should be set to the lower body animation and should have a mask that excludes the head/face. The lipsync layer should match properties with the base layer. What I can't figure out is how to attach the lipsync animation to the second layer.

It asks for an animation file, but the lipsync animation is procedurally generated and doesn't have a animation file. What am I missing?

[tiny niche]

you need to blend the vertex positions yourself, unity wont do it for you

the layer order is also irrelevant in this context, since its effectively an additive blend

[raw ice]

oof. You mean in my modeling software? 😮

I'm sorry, I guess I'm not following.

I appreciate the help you've given. I'm really trying here. I'm just not sure where to find good documentation on this stuff. The Oculus documentation is basically nothing.

[raw ice]

Ah, are you talking about blend shapes?

[tiny niche]

kinda, the thing you get out of the facial animations is essentially a blend shape

only thing missing is a mask

[raw ice]

Ok, so I've got my model with blend shapes for each viseme. I can get the lipsync to work fine if I don't add the body animation controller. When I do, the lip sync stops working and is overridden by the body animation, it seems.

I've tried adding a mask now. I have both layers set to additive. One layer is blank with no animations because the lipsync controller handles those facial animations. The other layer has a mask that excludes the head of the model and has a body idle animation connected to it. So I should just be able to add the avatar mask on the layer to get it to work?

[tiny niche]

if its blank, it sounds like you're masking bones, but you have to mask vertices

that said, you should still see stuff happen if you have an additive blend without a mask

[raw ice]

I do see either of the animations, but not both

[tiny niche]

unless its a bone blend and not a vertex blend

[raw ice]

the model was from Daz,

pretty sure it's verts

[tiny niche]

then the blend is clearly not being applied

[raw ice]

yeah, it's not when I have the idle animation running. There is only one animator on the item and it can either take the body Idle animation or the lipsync input but not both.

I'm not seeing a vertex mask in the documents. Is it possible it's under another name?

[sick oak]

sounds like a dumb question...
How do i put it on a "layer",
sorry new to unity

[tiny niche]

all objects live on a layer, check the inspector

you'll also need to configure which layers interact

[sick oak]

Ohhhh

interesting

becuase i need to stop some things colliding

is this how i do that

[tiny niche]

sometimes

[sick oak]

like 1 being the same issue, my hands are making my body fly away

[tiny niche]

sometimes you want to throw away collisions after they're detected and that's when you don't do this

[sullen dragon]

How can I run this function from within a script? I've been trying to use AddListener but not sure if that's the right approach

[forest roost]

hm

in my last project the "OpenXR" option was there, now it isn't

Weird because I haven't done anything else during setup

[jagged coral]

i have a third hand that has no collisions, controlled only by movement of the right hand, not only that but putting the right hand on the ground makes it float above the ground unless i turn my hand so its facing up irl

this happened after i implemented photon but their discord wont respond to me so i figured this is the best bet

Hi. Simeone know if there is some tutorials por something to learn Ultimate XR?

[crisp pivot]

anyone know how to solve this? trying to build my game for oculus quest 2
dont know what settings i need to make it work, followed some tutorial from yt but dont remember which one (was a while ago=

[crisp obsidian]

Anyone know why the quest 2 might create these weird artifacts instead of turning the screen white as my blit shader is supposed to do?

[crisp pivot]

processing issue?

[crisp obsidian]

What do you mean? The framerate does not change if that's what you mean?

[shell kayak]

That looks like a RenderTexture that has been marked as discarded and which the GPU has started using to store other data. What textures are involved in this Blit?

[crisp pivot]

i meant if the processing suffers, that may cause weird artifacts
but im not sure about that

[crisp obsidian]

Oooh! I am using this repository, it seems to use the command buffer.

how can i make a hud for a player that follows the vr headset around? this could be a health bar

and how can i make it rotate aropund the player smoothly like in zenith

@crisp pivot which unity version?

[crisp pivot]

2021.3.16f1

Does it happen im a blank project?
If not, compare settings

[crisp pivot]

dont even know if its actually the settings, might be something i imported and thats gonna be way harder to compare and find solution to
but i will compare with a blank project

[buoyant jolt]

World space canvas, parented to the headset. Keeping in mind not all headsets have the same range of view, and what appears in one headsets vision could be cut off in another.

I have no idea what Zenith is. But you can smooth rotate if you want it wobbling off screen by averaging the last n positions and rotations.

[tropic vine]

thx gonna try that tomorrow

Hey all,

I have questions related to XR Interaction Toolkit.
Does anyone know how I can check if the current hit position of the XRRayInteractor is a valid location to teleport to?

Have an OpenXR or steamvr project, connect headset, press play @storm ether

[tiny niche]

might be accessible in the teleportation event, but i doubt you can query it

[edgy relic]

Hi, I recently saw the new xr hand package. But what about interaction? Is there a way to make it work with the XR interaction toolkit? Sorry if the question is dumb and thank to everyone that can enlighten me.

good morning. dealing with virtual reality, I would like to ask for some help from you: how is it possible to insert tooltips near my visible controllers in the scene to help the user in using the controls and thus make the buttons understand what they are for?

how do you render a cube? same principle, different mesh

I don't understand 😅 I have to enter hints that show up on the controller keys while I'm in VR 😅

Hi everyone having a bit of trouble here. I have this ball in my W.I.P game with Gorilla tag locomotion. Im hitting the ball as hard as i can with my hands but its just not going anywhere. any ideas?

ignore the scuffed model

the ball has these

[pine bison]

What's the transform on the ball

Cause it looks like the scale is way off, which might interfere with the physics

[sick oak]

like the size?

you may be right

[sick oak]

How would i fix that. since the model was small i had to scale it up

[pine bison]

You would fix the scale of it in your modeling program

[sick oak]

i see

[sick oak]

i dont think it worked

i mean, i scaled it too big in blender

but when i scaled it down it still as buggy

shouldnt it be superlight?

[pine bison]

You shouldn't scale it down, you should apply the scale

So the scale is right in blender and 1,1,1 in unity

[sick oak]

ah

[pine bison]

How are you applying the force to the ball?

[sick oak]

idk technically

im just wacking it

with my hand

This is my aim with it

what i want it to be like

[sick oak]

ok it definitely didnt work with blender, the way its working atm its as if energy isnt passed from the motion of my arm, to the ball. the ball seems to move until my "follow through swing" has finished

do you understand what i mean?

[pine bison]

No, but I don't work too much with physics. I would ask in the #⚛️┃physics channel

[buoyant jolt]

There are two things you can do here, you can and should add a Physics Material to the ball that is bouncy. And you could change it so when you hit the ball it applies force manually through code - which is what I would do. But adding a physics material is easier for new developers.

I've done a few games like this, it's because you usually want to multiply the force applied.

Hello VR devs! So I'm trying to simply add a haptic pulse inside of an method in a script I'm writing and I'm NOT sure how to call the haptics exactly.. Any help appreciated! ```cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;
using Unity.XRContent.Interaction; //<--- added from name space in other script->PlaySpecificSound

public class Scanner : XRGrabInteractable
{
[Header("Scanner Data")]
public Animator animator;
public LineRenderer laserRenderer;
public GameObject xrL;
public GameObject xrR;

protected override void Awake()
{
    base.Awake(); //needed to inherit from the base Awake method
    laserRenderer.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    xrlc = xrL.GetComponent<ActionBasedController>; // error CS0103: The name 'xrlc' does not exist in the current context
    xrrc = xrR.GetComponent<ActionBasedController>;
}

protected override void OnSelectEntered(SelectEnterEventArgs args)
{   
    base.OnSelectEntered(args);
    animator.SetBool("Opened", true);
    GetComponent<PlaySpecificSound>().Play0();
    xrlc.SendHapticsImpulse(1.0, 0.5);
    xrrc.SendHapticsImpulse(1.0, 0.5); 
}

}

[tulip anchor]

What do you expect xrlc and xrrc to be?

[silver spoke]

the variables for the Action based controller component of the left and right controllers

[tulip anchor]

but you haven't declared them

Do you expect them to come from the XR libraries?

[silver spoke]

no from the public GameObject variables -> xrL + xrR

is that not the best way to reference them in the scene?

[tulip anchor]

No I mean why do you expect that those variables exist

If you just want references to the controllers then change the type of xrL and xrR to ActionBasedController and use them directly

[silver spoke]

OH! thats much easier - let me try that.

Thank you @tulip anchor but now it errors with: ActionBasedController' does not contain a definition for 'SendHapticsImpulse' and no accessible extension method 'SendHapticsImpulse' accepting a first argument of type 'ActionBasedController' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hmmmm am I missing a namespace ?

[tulip anchor]

Haptic, no s

[bitter barn]

Hi all, here with a hopefully easy question...
I'm attempting to make a locomotion system where the user can grab and move the world with the controllers. Simply squeezing the grip should make it so the world moves relative to that hand. Squeezing both hands, should use the midpoint between both controllers as the relative point for moving the world. The issue I'm having is that for some reason when I use that midpoint for calculating the translation, everything gets super jittery. It works just fine with individual hands, just not when I'm using the midpoint. Here are some relevant parts of the code:

    {
        calculateControllerMidpoint();
        scaleRotateOrigin.position = controllerMidpointPosition;
        calculateHandAngle();
        vrLocomotionUpdate();
        storeDifferentials();
    }

    {
        controllerMidpointPosition = Vector3.Lerp(leftHand.transform.position, rightHand.transform.position, 0.5f);
        midpointIndicator.position = controllerMidpointPosition;
    }

    {
        if (worldGrabBoth)
        {
            translateWorld(controllerMidpointPosition, lastControllerMidpointPosition);
        }

        if ((worldGrabLeft) && (worldGrabRight == false))
        {
            translateWorld(leftHand.transform.position, lastLeftHandPosition);
        }

        if ((worldGrabRight) && (worldGrabLeft == false))
        {
            translateWorld(rightHand.transform.position, lastRightHandPosition);
        }
    }

    {

        Vector3 translationDifferential = controllerPosition - lastPosition;
        playerRoot.position -= translationDifferential;

    }

    {
        lastLeftHandPosition = leftHand.transform.position;
        lastRightHandPosition = rightHand.transform.position;
        lastControllerMidpointPosition = controllerMidpointPosition;
    }

When it jitters, it looks like it is calculating the midpoint wrong, it appears in two positions at once (neither are the actual midpoint, i think)

Does anybody know what might be causing this jitter?

[sick oak]

I did add a physics material but that seems to haven't worked

[bitter barn]

I think I solved my issue by recalculating the midpoint position a second time, when storing the lastControllerMidpointPosition.

[north path]

Then do the other thing suggested, using addforce

I have already gave this as an option a few days ago

[sick oak]

Thats what im thinking to be honest, is it difficult to add force manually?

[north path]

No, almost all games do it

[sick oak]

just a C# script right?

[north path]

Yes

[dry fractal]

Is it possible to attach an XR grab interactable to a hand by script only?

[storm coral]

Has anybody already tried this?

[lucid bridge]

I suppose this is general help,
I keep getting the warning "unable to start Oculus runtime XR plugin"

Ive tried setting it up in hdrp and standard pipeline. And ive tried the editors 2021.3.17f1 and 2021.3.16.

Ive installed the xr plugin management and selected the oculus in the project settings.

The quest 2 is connected by cable and link is active (I press play in the editor using the headset and controllers).

I am using an amd graphics card RX 6600xt and steam says it is vr ready

[lucid bridge]

So i installed steam VR and that seems to have solved it for some reason

[tiny niche]

that probably means its not running on the oculus runtime

did you allow non-oculus apps to run?

if you're gonna do vr dev, you really need to read the manufacturers' manuals before you start following random youtube tutorials

[serene quiver]

I'm trying to test builds on the Quest 2. Is there a more efficient way of testing other than building the apk and manually transferring it to the Quest 2 via SideQuest?

[pine bison]

If your PC can run VR, yes, through Quest Link. If it can't, then you need to build

[serene quiver]

I'm trying to test it on the Quest 2 hardware. I know I have to build it but I'm just looking for a more efficient way of transferring the build instead of using SideQuest

[dusty burrow]

Air Link.

I mean - not the build apk

[serene quiver]

"I'm trying to test builds on the Quest 2 hardware"

[dusty burrow]

you can do Build And Run then

[serene quiver]

There's a build and run option for Android?

[dusty burrow]

yea

That's what I'm doing rn

And you can use OVRMetrics to check stuff like FPS etc.

It builds, automatically installs on the Quest 2 and runs the game for you.

[serene quiver]

Thanks

[dusty burrow]

I formed a thought quicker than I read your message, sorry. 😆

Is vertex count counted twice for VR projects?

I'm deleting a 5118k object and it brings down the vertex count by around 10.2k.

[dusty burrow]

^ I understand this now.]

Yea, it is counted twice.

[lucid bridge]

I saw that and when i researched oculus runtime it had a warning that it had depreciated and may misbehave.

So i was afraid to use it

[tiny niche]

that's a completely different thing

[lucid bridge]

Oh, 🤦‍♂️
Ill look into the second comment

Ty for the help

@nova current not yet, but I will. thanks for putting that on my radar

[crisp obsidian]

Hey all, my quest 2 builds from unity have this weird behaviour where the left eye has "lagg" but my right eye does not. Has anyone had this issue?

[north path]

What is the performance?

[tiny niche]

sounds like you have a shader acting up

[crisp obsidian]

That's what I tough but it are multiple objects and different shaders both hand written and shadergraph.

[tiny niche]

that just means you have many places to look at

a single shader can brick the gpu state and screw up everything that comes in behind it

[crisp obsidian]

Welp that's going to be fun, could that explain the issues only happening o the left eye? I am using multiview for graphics.

[tiny niche]

multipass? yea you could be causing something that makes the compositor discard every other frame

or mapping the wrong data to the eye for example

so you're just gonna have to turn stuff off until it goes away and then turn things back on until it reappears

then the hard part of finding the error begins

[fathom estuary]

Hello
I have an issue where my scene is darker in the Quest 2 build unless I enable SSAO.
It's weird because in the editor the scene does not get darker. Disabling SSAO in the editor just removes AO as expected.

Just before that I fixed an issue where shadows where not rendered on the Quest 2 build until I enabled Reflection Probes: Box Projection. Not sure if that could be related.

[fathom estuary]

Fixed. I had to remove SSAO entirely, not just disable it.

When building my app as an APK file and loading it onto my oculus everything works fine however as soon as I try to run it through the editor on SteamVR the XR plugin can't detect any connected devices except for my headset. I've tried logging the connected devices to the console and the only one that shows up has the characteristics HeadMounted, TrackedDevice. And another strange thing is that even if I try to get a reference to that device using InputDevices.GetDevicesWithCharacteristics(HeadMounted | TrackedDevice, devices) I'm not getting anything back. Again this only happens when running live in the editor using steamVR but everything works fine when building it as an APK. I've tried experimenting with using the OpenXR and Oculus plugins but no change

[north path]

1. With the openxr plugin for desktop, did you add the touch controller profile?
2. If you use the oculus plugin, you can't run the game in steamvr, just oculus runtime

@elder fern

[elder fern]

I figured that was the case with the oculus plugin thanks. I had enabled the oculus touch controller profile for OpenXR under the standalone settings but still nothing

[north path]

If you want to run steamvr, you also need to add them under the desktop section. Could you screenshot the xr plugin management screen and openxr screen? @elder fern

[crisp pivot]

i get this error every time i try to build and run my game on my oculus quest 2

What is the best practice with VR avatar scaling? I have an avatar setup with HVR and VRIK, but I need to make it scale to fit the controllers, or the input scale to fit the avatar.. My avatar currently walks half crouched, and I can't spread its arms all the way.

You can ask your question, properly, in #💻┃code-beginner code. #854851968446365696

[crisp obsidian]

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I found the cause but have no clue how to find the solution. We have some grass that is gpu instanced and created using an compute shader. It has 2 drawcalls so it works for both eyes. But I am unsure how this could cuase these issues.

[upbeat briar]

Hi, do you know any methods to create surround sound for VR? The usual audio source with 3D only works in the editor. If I do a build then the sound becomes flat again. Need advice on how to create surround sound so that when you turn your head you can hear it from different sides. My project settings for AUDIO

[dusty burrow]

You need an Audio Listener on the player's head and audio sources have a slider that changes their sound from flat to spatial 3D.

[upbeat briar]

Audio listening is on the player's HEAD. And the audio settings look like this

As I say, in editor all working but if I build this, sound becomes flat...

[pine bison]

Can you try without the spatializer enabled in the settings? I get 3D audio fine without it

[upbeat briar]

In project settings?

[pine bison]

Yes

Just set both to none

[upbeat briar]

Ok, I will check it

[dusty burrow]

Idk if that's it but Spatialize is unchecked here.

First time I've seen this option, but maybe that's it? Read it's tooltip.

[upbeat briar]

On this setting the sound is heard on one front

@pine bison which the format sound you use? Mayby here stay a problem

[pine bison]

I just use wav

I would try a simple setup in a new project and see if it works there

[upbeat briar]

Ok, I'm trying to convert to wav and build again

[severe saffron]

that spread is likely too high

spread reduces the directionality of sound

in fact that value is so high it would appear backwards?

set it to 0 and you'll get 3d sound

in general you keep spread <45

[upbeat briar]

Thanks, I try this

[severe saffron]

0 = all sound channels are located at the same speaker location and is 'mono'. 360 = all subchannels are located at the opposite speaker location to the speaker location that it should be according to 3D position. Default = 0.

so yeah 341 means the sound would be coming out of the wrong side heh

[elder fern]

So after playing around with OpenXR inside steamVR I still can't get my controllers to connect and I'm not getting anything except the headset frrom InputDevice.GetInputDevices() however I now get about 118 warnings generated that either say The referenced script on this Behaviour (Game Object '<null>') is missing! or The referenced script (Unknown) on this Behaviour is missing! and when I open up the script causing these errors Unity automatically opens up the com.unity.xr.openxr@1.5.3/Editor/FeatureSupport/FeatureHelpers.cs file so I'm not really sure what's going on or how I can fix this. When I open the file in VS I get a bunch of errors basically saying The type or namespace name '...' could not be found so I'm wondering if somehow OpenXR is outdated even though I'm using the latest version from the package manager, either that or VS just can't find the files containing all these missing definitions

[obsidian marsh]

hello!
I'm developing a VR game and I need someone to help me with testing because it will be a multiplayer game and I have only one Quest2

[crude frost]

Good morning!

I am using XR Orgin (Action Based) for my player.

To interact with XR Simple Interactable components, I don't want to have to Select before being able to Activate.

So, on my XR Ray Interactor I turned on Hover to Select.

But, I do have a single XR Simple Interactable that I DON'T want to Hover to Select.

Is there a way to make Activate work without needing to Select first?
Or, is there a way to filter out a single XR Simple Interactable to make it NOT hover to select?

Edit: Man I'm blind! I swore there was a way to "Allow Hover Activate". Found it mentioned in a forum post, so I just look again, and sure enough, its right there above 'hover to select'

[crude frost]

I could help test.

[crisp pivot]

there is no reference to any gradle besides this one just existing (dont see it being used anywhere)

[quiet nymph]

Hello, it's possible in Unity with Meta Quest Pro occlude the virtual object by the real world.? All this using passtrough

[north path]

1. In preferences - 3rd party tools you can select a gradle version. Here make sure to use the one included with unity

2. Do you need that file? If not, remove. You literally state in the file (probably selected in project settings -> player settings -> android -> Publishing) to use r8. The error tells you specifically to not do that

[north path]

If they supply depth info it would be possible to do it

[quiet nymph]

Are u talking about meta quest pro or virtual object?

[north path]

Quest

[crisp pivot]

uh, what gradle?

[north path]

Yep that's good

Then maybe remove the file

[crisp pivot]

hope it wont break everything

well, i deleted the gradle file but i still get this error

[north path]

What's in the publishing settings stated here?

@crisp pivot

[crisp pivot]

which publish setting?

@north path

[north path]

I said here

[crisp pivot]

oh, just saw the last part

[north path]

Maybe delete library folder and try again?

Otherwise try the 2021.3.17 unity version and make sure the android module and submodules are installed via unity hib

[crisp pivot]

found a video that said to change the com.android.tools.build:gradle to another version, did that
now i get the error UnityPlayerActivity.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

[north path]

Seems like a workaround rather than a fix

Make sure you follow the meta starting guide exactly and make sure no custom gradle stuff is used.
And see if it also happens in a blank project

[severe saffron]

I usually keep my spread around 45 if I need a sound to spread across channels. For the most part I never need more than 5 as most of my sounds are very directional

[upbeat briar]

It's working now, I changed the position of the audio listener and it helped. Thanks for help!

[shell coyote]

hello. I'm currently developing a virtual reality system and i've come across a problem I haven't been able to solve yet. I need to get the player to pick up an object with both hands and be able to zoom in or out of the object to see more details. Because it's kind of a virtual museum system. Then there will be rocks and ores that it is interesting that he can handle the object by hand and be able to increase or decrease the object to be able to see better. I found solution to increase the object based on buttons, but I want to do this for the user to do with their hands within the game. Could you help me ?

[buoyant jolt]

I'd just scale the object based on the distance between the two hands while picked up with a smooth/slow scaler. And then don't forget to return it once they let go in case they accidentally oversized it.

But you can get the distance using Vector3.Distance(controller1, controller2) and smooth it with Lerp

[shell coyote]

okay, I'll try to do that

For this, I am trying to connect to my Q2 device using phone and everytime it connects it asks for a pattern. I insert the pattern which I remember I did while setting up the account on Q2 however it says it fails

Is this some kind of glitch or am I missing something?

The phone asks for a pattern which does not work but when I try the patter in Q2 it works fine

"Something went wrong. Please try again".... this is the response in the phone application

[buoyant jolt]

It sounds an awful lot like either the accounts are out of sync (is the headset up to date) or they are connected to different accounts to me

With the meta account change we had to reset ~10 dev quest 2s to get them working properly.

[dull kite]

I checked for software update on the headset yesterday, it was up-to-date it seems and yes, I checked on my phone, it is the same account that I linked to my Q2

[orchid raptor]

@dull kite would you like to hear about Punch-Out!! VR?

[dull kite]

Maybe later, thanks for asking. I'll definitely ping you after I get this headset conundrum sorted.

[buoyant jolt]

If you haven't tried it, there is the Meta Oculus Developed Hub, it's a tool that lets you see a bit closer what is going on with your headset.

[dull kite]

Is this related to Unity?

Actually it's my idea for a Disneyland attraction for Tomorrowland that utilized Unity.

[storm coral]

that would be quite cool

I'm sure they have industry standard applications for similar results and are probably more specialized, though

[buoyant jolt]

Yup. They already have an in-house VR team, and they won't build potentially violent attractions.

Not to mention, posting projects you are building for them on here, would be a breach of an NDA

[storm coral]

no mickey mouse zombie mode 😔

[buoyant jolt]

But you could talk to a VR arcade group i.e. vrcave etc

[orchid raptor]

NDA?

What are you talking about?

[buoyant jolt]

Non disclosure agreement. When we build projects for companies like Disney, they have a contract. If you announce or share what you are working on for them, it is a violation and it will be cancelled and all money forfeit

[orchid raptor]

Uh, Turkleton?

[dull kite]

I tried to connect using this developer hub, it is taking forever to connect

[orchid raptor]

Hey, Sid?

[dull kite]

And it says it is not able to connect to my headset at all now

Yes @orchid raptor ?

[buoyant jolt]

I've seen that happen before - Hmm usually it means it can't see the headset or permissions weren't a cepted or the USB port is funny. But I think something else is happening here 😦

[dull kite]

Okay the USB that I'm using is a USB type C

[orchid raptor]

Can we work on this attraction?

[dull kite]

Could this be an issue?

[tender wyvern]

Where is the .avatar exporter?

@dull kite ^^^ Do you possibly know the answer to my question above?

[buoyant jolt]

Don't tag people who aren't helping you #📖┃code-of-conduct

[dull kite]

I don't. I am a beginner to VR 🙂

[tender wyvern]

Sorry

[orchid raptor]

Hey, Lazer_Craft?

[tender wyvern]

Yea?

[orchid raptor]

Let's keep this a secret.

[hollow quest]

How can I learn to use the new multigrab in the XRI

the docs are a little confusing for me

something about a grab transformer?

[honest nacelle]

The rotation of my main object only changes ingame but the axis doesnt

[honest nacelle]

does anyone know a good video showing how to make enemys with collision and sword collisions? in vr pls

[buoyant jolt]

Nope. We have a multiplayer sword demo on photon and quest internally, but no tutorial

But, you can learn VR basics. Collisions. Photon. Score tracking. Maybe playfab. And combine them.

[honest nacelle]

i learned some stuff, but i keep getting stuck when the sword doesnt go through the enemy ;-;

it just hit like its metal or smth

[honest nacelle]

btw does anyone have any idea why this is hapenning?

[honest nacelle]

Where would you recommend for me start learning? Watch videos, documentation? What

[storm coral]

unitylearn/valem tutorials

[buoyant jolt]

I didn't actually really understand what the question was or what the problem is versus the expected action. So I couldn't really weigh in further.

For learning, it depends on your learning context. These days I think most people use Unity Learn, but back when I started with Unity it was in the 3.x era. So we just read the user manual... I'd also keep an eye on Udemy courses though maybe, you can get them on sale for like $5.

But I would read through VR basics, get a sample scene running. Read through collisions, detect some impact. Go through the official Photon examples and tutorials (assuming you want multiplayer). Repeat for PlayFab (assuming you want online score tracking). By then you should have the main context down...

[honest cedar]

I'm having a strange issue, hoping I could get some help.

I'm trying to extend the XRBaseInteractor to add some custom behavior when an objects enter a specific location by overriding the OnHoverEntered function. But for some reason when I add the NewInteractor to an object in my scene, the object does nothing when on object enters the collider. The really weird part is that one of my controller (sometimes left, sometimes right) will instead invoke the new OnHoverEntered behavior and cause whatever object the controller hovers over to move to the location of the object with the NewInteractor.

Has anyone seen this before?

[round mortar]

Is there any way to make a shader that will use a different texture for each eye?

[buoyant jolt]

This may help
https://forum.unity.com/threads/render-different-texture-for-each-eye-with-single-pass-pipeline.546790/

[round mortar]

Oh thanks, I'll check that ou.

[buoyant jolt]

There are some unlit shader examples in there to boot 🙂

[round mortar]

That worked perfectly, thank you!

[round mortar]

I just have one more question, and if you cant help that's fine, I just figured I'd ask. Do you know how I would find the position of each eye camera? I tried the leftEyePosition (with the new input system), but it just always gave (0,0,0).

[buoyant jolt]

I haven't tested it, but we moved to our own framework built on openxr, so I definitely would have tried to use the new input system to get the eye position as well

That said, you can get the head position, and guess a fairly accurate "offset" of where the eyes would be

If I remember tomorrow, I'll check what our framework is returning for an offset on the eyes

[round mortar]

Alright, you don't have to worry about that, but I wouldn't complain if you wanted to.

[orchid raptor]

Meet me in the DM and I'll tell you about it.

[tiny niche]

@round mortar try using the head position and read the ipd measurement. pretty sure that's available on all headset types

[tender wyvern]

Unity Help

[flat forge]

Hello, I am looking at VR for the first time, there is canvas in my scene with a cube. I use the oculus package to set up the scene for VR. The scene will load and i can look around in my headset as well as move my hands, but there is no where in sight my canvas, or the cube for that matter. Anyone can help me? I'll post ss of what needed when asked because i am unsure and dont want to flood the channel with something unnecessary
for the record, it is visible in game view in unity editor, just not when the game is running in headset

[round mortar]

How would I find this ipd measurement?

[tiny niche]

should exist on the headset in the xr api

[round mortar]

Alright thanks I will look at this.

[stoic herald]

im currently making a VR game and i do not have a 64-BIT option any reasons?

[buoyant jolt]

That's for images

This option allows you to choose between the uncompressed image quality and the amount of memory the uncompressed texture occupies.

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/android-BuildProcess.html#:~:text=ETC2 fallback,-For Android devices&text=This option allows you to,memory the uncompressed texture occupies.

[stoic herald]

then how do i make it 64bit

[buoyant jolt]

You can't. If you click the link, it is 16bit or 32.

[stoic herald]

oh

i cant upload my game then

[buoyant jolt]

You are confusing this with 64bit builds

[stoic herald]

how

[buoyant jolt]

If your unity is relatively up to date it should already be producing 64bit builds

Are you getting an error uploading or using an old unity version? The steps for 64bit change depending on the unity version

[wet jewel]

Is there any tutorial how to make a loading scene in VR apps???

[north path]

What issue are you having exactly?
What's the difference between a regular loading screen and one for VR?

[wet jewel]

When ever I load a new scene, the current scene get stuck to the HMD for few seconds till it loads another scene.

[north path]

Yes, so you can use a loading screen for that or load async in general

Many guides for that online

[wet jewel]

I am using a loading screen, on a canvas when it reaches 90% then everything freezes for few seconds

It's the transaction between two scenes

[north path]

Maybe the scene is just too big, check the profiler.
Either the code is poorly setup or there is too much loaded at once (fix for that could be addressables maybe)

[wet jewel]

okay I will look into this

[brave drum]

how to take the bake made from one project to another? I made the bake using bakery but it doesn't generate a lightmap or any physical file that I can find

hi i am using sockets with xr interaction toolbox and i want to place a box.
when I place the box alone it works well but, when there are objects inside, the objects are not placed correctly in the box

[upbeat tendon]

Hello guys, in our project, we have been able to achieve a maximum of 35 fps. Even in a scene with nothing but a plane. We also went trough google results and forums and found out that it is possible to set 72 fps in a build, but failed to do so. We are using XR manager. Anyone managed to actually get 72 fps on oculus 2 and if so, how?

[crude stream]

There are a few improvements to do on build for Quest 2, did you disable the multithreaded rendering first ?

[upbeat tendon]

@crude stream Yes, but the point is, fps never goes above 35, even in empty scene. Hence my guess is that it has something to do with fps settings

[crude stream]

Did you set the targetFramerate ?

[upbeat tendon]

VR does not work with that.. at least from what I found... give me a sec

[crude stream]

Just to know, your empty project is a new VR project from unity sample ? or you set it yourself from a standard 3D project ?

And what is your render pipeline & your unity version ?

[upbeat tendon]

Using unity 2021.3.4f1, HDRP pipeline

And it is my ovn, not a unity sample

[crude stream]

Ok, did you try the Unity sample from this version on your headset ? Just to be sure you reach your target ?

I know there are some low framerate issues on some versions

[upbeat tendon]

also, this is what I have been looking for - VR platforms ignore Application.targetFrameRate and QualitySettings.vSyncCount. Instead, the VR SDK controls the frame rate.

[crude stream]

Do you use OpenXR or Oculus XR ?

[upbeat tendon]

I belive OpenXR but I might be wrong. Might be worth a call?

[crude stream]

I'm working with a client right now sorry

[upbeat tendon]

No problem, would help in any way later...

[buoyant jolt]

That definitely isn't right. We are using OpenXR and getting full FPS with our multiplayer titles.

I will say though, that the same project on 2020.x and 2021.x, the 2020 build performs better by about 10% for Quest 2.

[upbeat tendon]

@buoyant jolt Did you get higher fps count by default?

[clear orbit]

Hey guys, I've been building an app for a couple weeks now - Building directly to device and viewing the VR experience in unity using the link cable works fine - however, when I am trying to load the application onto my headset through AppLab or ArborXR, I only get a loading screen of three dots upon launch and no Unity Splash.

I have previously deployed VR apps to my oculus quest 2 using AppLab, i have checked my settings 15 times over and made sure the OBB and APK sizes are suitable for the services and devices, but its still just... those... damn... three... dots...

any advice would be appreciated! (everything ive seen on google isnt applicable/already tried)

[severe saffron]

just a heads up this is typically when the scene is loaded, and all the awake/start functions are called. If you have a lot of work there, this will cause the annoying blocking lag.

[severe saffron]

are you using an empty first scene for testing?

and have you looked at logcat perhaps?

[severe saffron]

whats wrong with multithreaded rendering on quest?

[silver spoke]

Hello VR peoples ! So I am working on the VR escape room project towards the end of the VR Dev Pathway( https://learn.unity.com/project/project-2-escape-room-project-brief ) and I am stuck on the KeyCard swiper part.

[quiet nymph]

I hope someone can help me.
This is my scene, it's empty except for the OVR Camera Rig with Passhtrough enabled.
I don't understand why every frame tooks 18ms and there aren't reflection or dynamic object, only the OVR Rig with Passtrough.
Another strange things is is Profiler there is Gfx waiting but with OVR Metrics Tools it display the GPU it's 99 of usage.
Please I don't get it

[buoyant jolt]

GFX Waiting means waiting for the graphics card to report it is done, which tied to the 99% usage. Assuming you are using the quest - I haven't used it's passthrough directly (we used a separate depth sensor at the time), but I know it is graphic intense and highly experimental. If it can be used in a performant way, you will need the perfect balance of versions and packages.

[dusty burrow]

I'm developing for the Quest 2 using Oculus Integration.
How can I center 0,0,0 inside the play area created by the Oculus Guardian?

I tried using OVRBoundary.GetGeometry() and calculating the middle between the 4 points it gives me, but those points don't align with the boundary as seen through the goggles.

The middle of these points are at 0,0,0 in Unity space.

[dusty burrow]

Damn

It turns out they do align but only when ran from the Quest itself and not on the PC through Oculus Link.

[quasi sky]

thank you!

[honest cedar]

Oh boy I figured it out...

So apparently if you're trying to extend the XRBaseInteractor class you need to write an implementation for GetValidTargets(List<IXRInteractable> targets) or else things are going to be messed up.
It looks like this used to be enforced, but for some reason my ide didn't complain. Not sure why it isn't mandatory anymore.

[next perch]

where did openxr go?

[vestal otter]

I am new in VR Game development. I want to know that can we integrate external sensors to Quest2, to work as foot controllers, I need to track feet in my Unity. Please anyone can suggest something regarding to this?

[iron garnet]

My project has had an issue with LoadLevelAsync (now LoadSceneAsync) where it freezes (blocking the main thread) when loading large scenes. This happens in the Editor as well as builds, including on other platforms.

[buoyant jolt]

You are missing some packages in your package manager

[buoyant jolt]

The quest runs android, and has Bluetooth. So you can indeed create custom Bluetooth sensors. We've also built custom USB-C devices and it works great (as long as you have android drivers or code to manage it)

[buoyant jolt]

LoadSceneAsync always has some jitter. Usually you disable loading on complete, and halt at the 99% loaded mark.

After that it is going to begin accessing the models, physics and enviro and will lock up. From there you need to either optimize the scene loading itself (75% of the jitter is likely just colliders and physics) or look at other optimization methods (asset bundle loading, smaller scene segments, loading indicators etc)

Don't forget to also lower the scene loading priority

There are a few reasons that can happen. Event system missing. Multiple event systems. Tracked devices missing on the canvas. Blocking elements, etc. XRI is not exactly the best library, but it is always getting better. It's problematic and not very well documented imo.

[forest roost]

Im tryna build for quest 1 & 2

could it be related to this? I can't select "Oculus"

[iron garnet]

I am doing all this already but it still freezes, in the profile Semaphore.Waitforsignal is taking 20248 ms

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah that looks like a 20 second delay. That's by huge

[iron garnet]

exactly, is there some way to load scene on a totally different thread.

[buoyant jolt]

Not that I've found, but that is what we did moving a chunk of assets over to asset bundles. So our level loaded in mostly blank and then streamed in the assets individually over multithreads. But it was a crazy project (100m+ tris) and we did some dark magic to make it all work. I wouldnt recommend that path

[iron garnet]

Can you recommend some way i can make it work out ? Can i use Unity Dots for this ?

[buoyant jolt]

Sorry, busy day. 3 client VR projects due today, 1 HoloLens. Very long week!

It's hard to say. Every project is different and I'd have to benchmark the scene to see where the slowdown is happening. There may be better world scale loader things in the asset store too

[vital falcon]

[zenith pasture]

do you guys have any tricks to make throwing stuff actually realistic? Im using the default oculus interaction grabs and physics and even I, as the dev, can rarely throw the object properly
no way the customers will be able ot throw them at all

[north path]

@storm ether use gradle and other android tools which are installed with your editor and don't jse custom gradle file if not needed

@zenith pasture depends why it doesn't work properly? It it timing, speed, other?

[buoyant jolt]

You need to post the rest of the other errors. One will say specifically why it failed.

for ppl who have full track vr , whats ur spec? i wanna buy a full track too lol

honestly I am not sure, I can send you a video in a bit

the throw isnt smooth and on top of that, sometimes I even managed to throw the ball behind me (with the same move)

this is a rather significant issue, since the whole point of the app would be throwing a basket ball

[wooden canyon]

Hello,

i've got a Problem with an Meta Quest app.

Everything is fine, but when i hit the oculus Button to open the Menu the menu opens as expected, but the surrounding of the application is freezed to the Headmovemend, so you really get sick during navigating trough oculus Menu, during the "pause" of the application.

[visual junco]

guys i dont have collabrate on my unity

[silver spoke]

Got the package imported to your project? (Check the package manager)

[storm coral]

There should be a "throw object on release" (or something similar) option if it's an openXR grab interactable, if not you might have to make a special script that gets the direction and force of your hand

[storm ether]

i used a terrain for my game and its really laggy. and you can fall through some of it. what do i do

[zenith pasture]

Well, that's basically what oculus scripts do is that it's too "rough", it almost feels like it just grabs the distance and time between the 2 last grabs of the frame and calculates the speed from that

[zenith pasture]

As for the lags - how many tris do you have in the scene?

[iron garnet]

I have made a VR room with sitting and stand functionalities through clicking buttons, however after standing the locomotion stops working. I am using two different XR origins for sitting and standing.

[storm coral]

There should be a couple options that you can tweak for that, but I'm not sure what else to do

[ruby wadi]

can someone help i don't know why is this happing ?

[forest roost]

why can't I do this?

          XRGrabInteractable grabbable = GetComponent<XRGrabInteractable>();
          if (grabbable.activated)
            {
                Debug.Log("Weapon was activated!");
            }

but I can do this:

XRGrabInteractable grabbable = GetComponent<XRGrabInteractable>();
grabbable.activated.AddListener(FireBullet);

[alpine ledge]

Hey, if i want to make a vr game do i make it with VR core or 3D URP?

[forest roost]

Thing is, I want to be able to use .activated as an event

[forest roost]

VR basically just has packages pre-installed but is a normal 3D core other than that
URP is a render pipeline which allows for the use of more advanced post-processing and lighting things

[alpine ledge]

so VR it is?

[forest roost]

If you dont wanna use post-processing or shaders

It also depends, if you're making one of those gorilla tag fan games then it doesn't matter at all

[alpine ledge]

What if i chose vr and then later i want to add shaders

no im not

a real game

[forest roost]

It doesnt really matter
If you choose VR then it has certain packages preinstalled, you can always add URP later
If you choose URP then it has the Render Pipeline preinstall, you can always add VR packages later

But for the sake of not dealing with material issues, I would pick URP

[alpine ledge]

hmmm ok

you working on a game?

[forest roost]

I am

[pine bison]

If that's what you want then the second piece of code is correct

[alpine ledge]

I got bored of minecraft server development so im thinking of doing a vr game

[forest roost]

my goal is to run this

I can't run photonView.RPC() if I'm running grabbable.activated.AddListener(FireBullet);

the goal is to run photonView.RPC() when grabbable.activated

[pine bison]

XRGrabInteractable.activated isn't a bool that's true or false, it's an event that's invoked

So you wouldn't do this in Update, you would do it in Start

XRGrabInteractable grabbable;

public void Start() 
{
   XRGrabInteractable grabbable = GetComponent<XRGrabInteractable>();
   grabbable.activated.AddListener(FireBullet);
}

public void OnDestroy() 
{
   grabbable.activated.RemoveListener(FireBullet);
}

private void FireBullet() 
{
   photonView.RPC(nameof(OnFireBullet), RpcTarget.All);
}

private void OnFireBullet()
{
   // your code to shoot
}

[forest roost]

alright

awit no

I'm very confused

[pine bison]

I'm adding some more

[forest roost]

I'm basically trying to do this but with the grabbable.activated instead of MouseButtonDown since that isn't VR

[forest roost]

oh alright

[pine bison]

So with that code, you're telling the script in Start that whenever activated is called, call FireBullet. That function is just a helper function to invoke the networked function

There's gonna be some photon syntax that's missing there most likely, I don't work with Photon

There's also gonna be an error when you try to attach the listener, since the function you're giving it should take a parameter

[forest roost]

photonView.RPC basically fires the event (RPC_SHOOT) for everyone connected to the server instead of only on your screen

[pine bison]

So I guess it should be private void FireBullet(ActivateEventArgs args)

[forest roost]

haha it is 🙂

[pine bison]

Nice

[forest roost]

oops that sounded rude

mb

[pine bison]

Nah don't worry

[forest roost]

grabbable.activated.AddListener(FireBullet); What does this line do exactly? I added it to my code without really understanding it since some other people said that's how you handle input

because FireBullet runs when the player presses the trigger but I'm not actually using GetDevices to get the controller and such

[pine bison]

Since activatedis an event, it will be invoked by the XR system when you grab the object. So you're saying that whenever this happens, run the function you're providing

[forest roost]

ah I see

[pine bison]

This isn't dependant on input at all. It's just hooking into the XR system's own functions

Which is a good alternative

[forest roost]

so .activated runs when the player presses the trigger?

AddListener just adds the provided argument to run when it's called right?

[pine bison]

In our case, it's useful because it will be called regardless of how you're grabbing, which means you can rebind the keys, or use a keyboard

[forest roost]

ah I see

could I perhaps do something like this?

That runs FireBulletToServer once the player presses the trigger, right?

and that then runs FireBullet via photon

[pine bison]

Yes

The only thing you need is that when working with events, you also need to unsubscribe. That's what I had in the OnDestroy method

[forest roost]

Right

[pine bison]

If not, then you can run into issues where the activate event is still trying to call your function, but the script has been removed or destroyed

[forest roost]

so like that?

might be hard to read

[pine bison]

Yep you got it

[forest roost]

I guess I don't need ActivateEventArgs arg in FireBullet, right?

[alpine ledge]

Quick question. All models must be made in blunder or somewhere like that?

[forest roost]

No

you can just make models in Unity

right click in the hierarchy and then go to 3D

there's shaped you can use there

[pine bison]

No you wouldn’t

[pine bison]

Yes you use programs like blender or Maya to create meshes that are more complex than just basic shapes

[alpine ledge]

ok 👍

[daring patio]

good afternoon. i created an apk build for my quest 2. i noticed that in the viewer this tends to go below 30 fps. How can i check what is the problem and maybe fix it?

[zenith pasture]

are there any particular tweaks you would suggest? I dont really feel like rewriting the entire thing

[storm coral]

I haven't messed around with it much, so no, sorry

[dim geyser]

Hey, sorry to bump such an old message, but we're running into the exact same issue right now.

Did you ever find any fixes?

[zenith pasture]

the most common issue is the amount of triangles in the scene - you can see that in unity
Oculus claims you can go up to 1 mil, but I tend to stay around 500-600k tops

[final basin]

This was an issue on the oculus side. It broke for everyone when the month ticked over to November or whatever and they fixed it about 12 hours later

Check the oculus developer forums if its happening again

[daring patio]

so i have to decrease them? and does this mean that several objects lose quality?

[dim geyser]

Many thanks

[zenith pasture]

How many do you have?

[daring patio]

What verts o tris? Or objects?

I make a villa with 4-5 rooms

With different objects for interior

[delicate venture]

Hi everyone, glad to finally join this discord. I am a lab lead and researcher for virtual reality development at my university, I wanted to ask a logistics question if anyone has utilized Unity VR development for education, particularly for Oculus Quest 2 headsets. We have about 30 to manage and a bunch of hoops to jump through to get them initialized, if anyone is overtly familiar with using the Oculus platform for educational purposes, I would be happy to share more. Thank you :)

[zenith pasture]

That might be the issue

You wanna look at tris

[vestal otter]

Thank you very much. And also can you suggest me devices should I need for the Bluetooth sensor.

[buoyant jolt]

Anything Bluetooth compatible should be fine! I usually use either arduino micros with a BLE shield, or a bunch of arduino tinys with BLE support I got off a Kickstarter many years back

[pine bison]

We have recently taken use of ArborXR, which is like fleet management for regular Quest headsets. After the initial setup on all the glasses, you have the ability to install apps to all headsets, put them in kiosk mode, and get a way simpler interface for launching sideloaded apps. Definitely recommend looking it up. ManageXR is a competitor

[buoyant jolt]

We rolled our own called PlatformXR (we have a ton of education/gov clients and needed a Canadian LMS and MDM system), but Arbor is what we initially used in the US and was good for the most part.

[vestal otter]

Okay, Thanks

[daring patio]

I had this until a few days ago. However, they dropped to 2.5M the tris and 5M the verts.

[zenith pasture]

well there is your issue

no matter what you do, quest 2 will never be able to handle this

[delicate venture]

This is exactly what we’re looking for, the biggest issue for us is figuring out how to manage all of them before going forward. We’ll try it out and see how it works, really appreciate your response!

[pine bison]

Here's a page with performance guidelines for Quest. Your draw calls are also way too high https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-perf/

How do i make a VR UI using my own image and not just the preset vr toolkit stuff

[daring temple]

how do i reference the tracked pose driver in c#?
I have included a screenshot of what i want to reference
here is what i have so far, though it doesnt work Component headsetthing = GetComponent<SpatialTracking>();

[mild igloo]

Do you guys know if there is a built in way to get the velocity of the player

[zenith pasture]

Which body part?

Not sure if it is included, but writing it yourself shouldn't have to be longer than a few lines

[forest roost]

using UnityEngine.XR;
using Photon.Pun;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using UnityEngine;

public class GameMenuManager : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks

{
    public Transform head;
    public float spawnDistance = 2;
    public InputHelpers.Button inputHelpers = InputHelpers.Button.MenuButton;
    public XRNode controller = XRNode.LeftHand;
    public GameObject menu;

    void Update()
    {
        InputHelpers.IsPressed(InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(controller), inputHelpers, out bool isPressed);
        if (isPressed)

        {
            menu.SetActive(!menu.activeSelf);

            menu.transform.position = head.position + new Vector3(head.forward.x, 0, head.forward.z).normalized * spawnDistance;
        }
        menu.transform.LookAt(new Vector3(head.position.x, menu.transform.position.y, head.position.z));
        menu.transform.forward *= -1;
    }

}
```I'm using this script for making my pause menu appear, but if I press the menu Button, it opens and closes it a ton of times, I only want it to do it once

I think the problem is me using IsPressed, and it checks that every frame, but I don't know what to do otherwise

[buoyant jolt]

Pretty much. IsPressed checks if the button has the pressure applied every frame with your code as it is.

You can store a bool to track when the button state changes

[forest roost]

?

how would I do that?

[buoyant jolt]

If you can't get past adding a bool, you really need to go through Unity Learn and the starting tutorials first

Not to be rude, but that's a crucial step to progress

[forest roost]

I know how to add bools, I just don't know how to do it in this case.

Normally I use easyInputs which is a package that allows for easily reading XR inputs but it doesn't work with the menu button

so I tried to use InputHelpers, but I don't know how I'd make that work with the bool storing

because to me it sounds like:

private bool hasPressed;

void Update()
{
       InputHelpers.IsPressed(InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(controller), inputHelpers, out bool isPressed);
       if (isPressed)
          {
              hasPressed = true;
          }

       if (hasPressed)
        {
            //code
        }
}

but that would cause the same issue

[buoyant jolt]

public class GameMenuManager : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks

{
    public bool WasPressed = false;

    void Update()
    {
        InputHelpers.IsPressed(InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(controller), inputHelpers, out bool isPressed);
        if (isPressed && !WasPressed)
        {
             // Toggle menu on
        }
        else if(!isPressed && WasPressed)
        { 
              // Released
        }
        WasPressed = isPressed; 
    }
}```

[forest roost]

ahhhh

in that way

thanks

[mild igloo]

Hey, I am looking for a solution to determine if a user is moving in VR and when they stop. The problem is that the OVRCamera is your head so it registers movement if you nod your head as well as when you walk. I just want the walking and ignore the head nods and looking around.

I have tried velocity but if you nod your head fast enough you can trick it. I tried tracking my previous position and current position but the head nods register a change in position.

[north path]

Maybe just check when moving over X and Z faster than a threshold? @mild igloo

[cursive quail]

I swear ive run into this problem before and solved it but i dont remember, Im getting consistant stutters that seem to be outside of the framerate, Im using the XR Toolkit and ive narrowed it all down to enabling or disabling a Rigidbody on the XR Origin object. Even if the object is not moving or touching anything with it enabled im getting consistant stutters every 10 frames

With just the Rigidbody moving with a constant velocity its very noticable

[silent root]

Can someone please help me. I cannot for the love of god get eye tracking to work in Unity on my Meta Quest Pro.

I am using the OVREyeGaze component but I keep getting this error
[OVREyeGaze] Failed to start eye tracking.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)
OVREyeGaze:StartEyeTracking () (at Assets/Oculus/VR/Scripts/OVREyeGaze.cs:124)
OVREyeGaze:OnEnable () (at Assets/Oculus/VR/Scripts/OVREyeGaze.cs:98)

I have my eyetracking permissions working

These are my XR Plugins

I am using Meta Movement 1.3.3, Open XR 1.6.0, and I have the Oculus Integration v47.0 package, and I have the eye tracking enabled in the oculus app.

I am losing my mind just getting this basic shit to work and have spent over a week endlessly searching and trying different versions to no avail. Please help me

@north path Unfortunately not, I tried following everything on there as best as I can and still cant get it to work

[zenith pasture]

does anybody know where exactly is the centereyeanchor located on the physical headset on oculus quest 2?

[pine bison]

Presumably in the middle between the eyes

[zenith pasture]

human eyes or the lenses?

[pine bison]

The actual eyes

[zenith pasture]

do you have any source for this? not to sound rude, its just rather imporant for the type of app I am making

[pine bison]

I do not, this is just the basis for how VR works without making people sick. If you need data then I guess you can dive into the XR system source code

[zenith pasture]

some PCVR systems have the camera point a bit higher for example

thats why I am asking

[north path]

Then they just offset the camera, this is on the game dev to implement

[storm ether]

Need help when i move my right controller my vr headset moves in the scene along with it

[north path]

How is your VR player setup? Is there a camera childed to the hand?
Are you just using tracked pose drivers or also something else?

[storm ether]

tracked pose drivers and no the camera isnt a child of a hand

Here is the tracked pose driver component

idk what else could be causing this

[storm ether]

help?

[pine bison]

There's this too

[storm ether]

ye but that was there before the game even broke

[storm ether]

I just remade the entire rig

took 30 minutes

Imma make a backup couse jeezus

[pine bison]

Are you making the rig yourself? Why not just use the create menu?

[north path]

That's why you use source control

[storm ether]

Well i used the menu plus i had to readd everything that was working before so holsters grabbing 1 item only jumping and stuff like that

How mouch do server hosting cost if you want to make a multiplayer vr game?

Anyone notice horrible seams on cubemap reflections when building to quest?

editor/PC doesnt have the issue, fix cubemap edges is checked

yet when I build to APK, I can see horrible seams in all the cardinal directions

[hazy cosmos]

Alteruna and photonVR is free

[alpine ledge]

are they any good?

[hazy cosmos]

Yes they are

Gorilla tag uses photon vr for example

[alpine ledge]

oh how is that profitable running a free hosting

[hazy cosmos]

There are licenses you can buy that have more RAM for example

Or that have better servers that are faster

[alpine ledge]

how much would that cost

and how much ram is needed for a tipical vr game

[hazy cosmos]

I have a server for a non vr game with alteruna, and with the 3gb RAM it has its completely fine

I have also tested photon vr free Plan and it’s working perfectly fine

[alpine ledge]

3gb of ram how many players tho

Also can you help me? Im trying to do an exit button and in on Click () idk which function i must chose

@hazy cosmos

[hazy cosmos]

Do you have a script with a quit function?

[alpine ledge]

yes

[hazy cosmos]

I have between 10-20 players daily

[alpine ledge]

public class Exit : MonoBehaviour
{
public void LeaveGame()
{
Application.Quit();
}
}

[hazy cosmos]

Attach the script to an object and drag the object into the field

On click field

[alpine ledge]

i allready have that dont i?

[hazy cosmos]

Where is the script attached?

[alpine ledge]

script is inside of the button and the button is placed inside of the on click()

[alpine ledge]

right under the on Click()

[hazy cosmos]

Make it a different object

Just make an empty one or smth

Cuz it should show the name of the script and then when you expand the name of the function

[alpine ledge]

i make an object for the skript?

and not place it under button?

[hazy cosmos]

Yes

That’s how I do it and it works every time

@alpine ledge did it work?

[alpine ledge]

Idk if i understood you but is this what you meant?

feels liks this would get unorgonized fast

also why is it named Leave game. it changed its name when i added it to it

idk nothing rly changed no idea which i need to select

@hazy cosmos if i add the script then functions turn to this

Im just giving as much info

[hazy cosmos]

I guess the script is corrupted, make a new script and paste everything there

[storm ether]

pls can someone tell me why my haptic feedback script isnt working

[alpine ledge]

Im doing mine atm if i figure out ill let you know

Idk mine also

[crude stream]

Hi, I'm a little bit lost for one simple interaction.
If someone could help me please.
I'm using XRRayInteractor on a XRController which is working well.
I'd like to simple "click" on a 3D object which has a script with IPointerClickHandler.
Is it possible ? Or should I implement another interface on this script ? Or anything else ?

I know I can use a TrackedDevicePhysicsRaycaster, but this is causing a conflict with the XRGrabInteractable present on the same object.

To explain more :
My object can be clicked or grabbed. But when I have a TrackedDevicePhysicsRaycaster + XRGrabInteractable, I can click, but grab is working randomly.

[north path]

Share the code

[alpine ledge]

tbh i have no idea i tried to make haptic feedback when hovering over a UI button, but now it boke my whole ui and the interactable Ray just goes thru the UI and dosnt interact with it

Can some one please help me? I dont know what happened, but my Ray wont interact with UI any more it just goes thru it

[storm ether]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;

public class HapticInteractable : MonoBehaviour
{
[Range(0,1)]

public float intensity;
public float duration;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
  XRBaseInteractable interactable = GetComponant<XRBaseInteractable>();  
  interactable.activated.AddListner(TriggerHaptic);
}


public void TriggerHaptic(BaseInteractionEventArgs eventArgs)

{
  if(eventArgs.interactorObject is XRBaseControllerInteractor controllerInteractor)
  {
       TriggerHaptic(controllerInteractor.xrController);
  }

}

 public void TriggerHaptic(XRBaseController controller) 

{
  if(intensity > 0)  
  controller.SendHapticImpulse(intensity, duration);
}

}

[hazy cosmos]

You wrote both things wrong

GetComponent instead of GetComponant and AddListener instead of Addlistner

Need help with XR. New to VR development and unity in general and am having issues. I installed XR Plugin Manager and the entirety of it is greyed out. I can see the options but cant click anything.

Asking again. Have any of you got box projected cube map reflections to work on Android without gigantic horrible seams?

I have fixed edges checked on the cube map itself and the issue doesn't show up on PC or in the editor. I thought it might have been compression applied to the cube maps for some reason its making a border seam but I've gone through all the options and can't find anything that doesn't create a horrible seam

Hello everyone simple question. How would i get the active velocity of the player's controller (using for custom collision script)

Example if the speed is over 2m/s do A
if not do B
etc

Can i obtain the speed or is it always 0 cos of how vr works?

please @ me

[icy spindle]

Hi i have my project running with all my platforms. Mac PC mobile and VR. However when building to android it wants to run on Gear VR which works but i'm not wanting the xr build but instead a normal android deployment.
It knows the other platforms aren't VR, but with android it cant make the distinction regardless of what i've tried. Short of uninstalling the XR plugins, which defeats the purpose of what i'm trying to do.
The issue seems to be "That the OVRGradleGeneration.cs overrides the automatically generated AndroidManifest.xml and enables VR again, even if its deactivated in Unity on the 2021 lts
The attached photo is from the below forum and they ran into the same issue with unity 2020 LTS.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/player-settings-virtual-reality-supported.664858/#post-5423187

Does anyone know how to build to both without delving into code?

[upbeat tendon]

Hello guys,we are testing out a small project we have created. Hovewer, we strugle a bit with FPS, which after testing out, we think, might be caused by Oculus itself. Therefore we would like to seek help and test our project on other devices as well (HTC vive etc.) Also if you are developer yourself, we might be able to discuss the issue. Send me a message here on discord, so we can get in touch and tell you more about the project.

No matter what we try, we usually get about 40 fps, even in an empty scene. We are using Unity, HDRP and Autohand. We alredy went trough settings, tried to mess up with settings, tried different scenes, but the problem persist.

This might turn into paid work as well, if we find a solution to this. Someone with more skill in VR might know what is going on.

Matrices obtained using the methods Camera.GetStereoViewMatrix(Camera.StereoscopicEye.Left) and Camera.worldToCameraMatrix match. How to fix this behavior?

[mild igloo]

This falls apart if I move my head quickly.

[sick oak]

Hello please guys? its a simple question please read

[north path]

I'd just calculate the difference in distance between frames. That's the currently speed

[sick oak]

im sure there was something in XRI toolkit for it no?

[north path]

Definitely a GPU bottleneck. Attatch the profiler to see draw calls and tri count

[sick oak]

what so every onupdate or something take position and apply the difference to a var called speed?

[north path]

Then google 'xrit get Velocity controller'

[north path]

Yeah, that's what I did for an old project

[sick oak]

ok

[sick oak]

can this become laggy?

performing a check every update, i used to code minecraft plugins and when you did something every tick it would cause lots of stress on the server

[north path]

A simple distance calculation won't slow down a game. There are thousands of millions other things running as well @sick oak

You aren't making a Minecraft server (;

[sick oak]

nice, just to know. i dont know how it handles code n stuff

i dont have experience with games lmao

best thing i could sorta associate it with

[north path]

Try and find out. You'll be amazed how much code you need to throw at it in order to make it lag

[sick oak]

damn

you can crash someone in minecraft by sending a check every tick XD

20 / second

i have save data of Profiler. If I were to send it to you, do you have a way to read it?

[north path]

You can hire me to analyze where the issue is and if possible within my skillset to fix it😅
Performance optimization takes a lot of work, especially on quest

[daring patio]

understand. otherwise where can I "learn" to read profiler data?
