🥽┃virtual-reality

[buoyant jolt]

Same here! I get about 2 hours on my Quest 3 if I'm lucky, with the same game of ours being 3.5 to 4 on the Quest 2.

I only know because we run 4 VR stations at most events, and was surprised to see how fast our Q3s died.

Not complaining but worth noting

[tiny niche]

i'm guessing its running at higher resolution on the quest 3 then?

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, by default it'll increase the resolution. It's mostly our medical stuff or our party games. If I throttled it or put time into it I'm sure we could extend out the battery, but it's just a noticeable change in battery life for us too

[tiny niche]

yea i just assumed the q3 hardware would be more efficient for the same workload

but you obviously want to be using the capabilities

[buoyant jolt]

We will end up getting the official extended batteries for them, but I wanted to give it some time, as they were pretty troublesome with us for the Q2s. The weight would break the straps.

So hoping not to be too.much of an early adopter on that one 😄

[tiny niche]

it would be interesting to see if you matched or got longer battery life than the quest2 if you matched the resolution and refresh rate of the devices

cause in theory you would, due to the newer chip

[rich cedar]

my decals look normal in the viewport but they arent visible in vr(the decal is used for faking lighting from the red sphere)

i couldnt find a solution for this online

[thick palm]

How do I send apk links?

[buoyant jolt]

Google drive or Dropbox, itch Etc

[buoyant jolt]

What do you mean by decal? Usually that's like a texture you stick on an object (I.e. spray paint on a wall)... I haven't seen them used for pseudo lights before...

What I will add is that the Quest has a very narrow Z range. So if a decal is a mesh overlapping another, make sure it is spaced further apart than on windows etc. But depending on how the decals material is set, the shader also may not be compatible with mobile VR. You might see an error in the device log in that case

Assuming android / Quest and all that

[coarse light]

Can I also ask something else here for someone else? A friend is using XR Device Simulator for a virtual reality project. However, when he plays he still sees the views of 2 eyes instead of just one

[north path]

He could disable the mock view in the plugin manager

[lyric prawn]

In my Oculus 2 headset, I'm seeing double. If I make a cylinder and stand it up, I'll see one and then another right behind it. If I close my left eye it's worse, if I close my right eye it looks correct. Any idea how to correct this? Thanks...

[tiny niche]

sounds like a broken project setup or a bad shader

potentially a broken rig, but you'd probably know whats causing it if that was the case

[buoyant jolt]

You may be able to work around it by switching from forward rendering to deferred but yeah it usually means a shader or even post processing effect isn't VR compatible

And keeping deferred rendering enabled will use more resources. But it can be used in a pinch usually

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/RenderingPaths.html

[dull lake]

Hi idk if this is the right channel but, I’m working in unity with VR, and I’m trying to run the device simulator but every time I hit play, I just get a black screen

And I don’t know what to do

It was working before but now it’s not and I’m not sure why

I can send screenshots of anything if needed

[tropic moon]

Hello, I'm looking for some helping updating Oculus Integration in my VR project. I was on a legacy version of Oculus Integration, and have upgraded that to v57 before planning on further upgrading to the Meta XR SDK UPM. However, I'm encountering these two errors on 2021.3.33f1:

Would really appreciate any help. This is blocking script compilation and showing all of my HandGrabInteractable scripts as missing references, even on Meta prefabs

[tropic moon]

resolved, removed Oculus folder and reimported in safe mode

[lyric prawn]

Thanks guys. I'll turn off post processing (which means I have to turn off anti-aliasing) and see if that fixes it. But that will make the game look quite poor. I'll check out deferred rendering. I'm already struggling to keep the fps up though...

[lyric prawn]

Oh but I'm using URP.

[buoyant jolt]

I don't use URP, so I can't help you there.

But yes, post processing hurts FPS, and deferred hurts FPS. And URP, in most cases, also seems to actually perform worse on Android

[lyric prawn]

Worse than the built in?

[buoyant jolt]

Yup

[north path]

I tested this last month and when URP is setup correctly I did not see much difference between the 2.
Do you know what part of rendering was less performant?

[buoyant jolt]

It depends a lot on the URP / Unity and graphic settings for sure. There are some better stats and more through tests shared in here, we saw about a 10% performance decrease on our 3 test projects, but iirc it was known issues at the time with URP / 2021 and Vulcan. No idea if it was patched since though mind you.

[north path]

For anti aliasing using MSAA in the URP settings usually is fine.
Some shaders/effects are incompatible with VR (some work in multi pass, but that in turn takes up more CPU performance), so when getting effects check for compatibility

[buoyant jolt]

We haven't had a 2022 clean test back from our QA team, but haven't tested it in 3 or 4 months. I'm expecting folks who are able to use the latest and stay up to date aren't seeing the issue anymore - but that's all guess work for me at the moment

(We also may not need too though as we've also moved most of our newer projects to a different engine)

[north path]

Ah alright, good to know!
I tested in 2022.3 (vulkan + graphics jobs) on some different scenes and it performed about the same.
Looking forward to testing 2023 as well, since now native renderpass, render graph (not sure if that supports XR yet), and better draw call optimization tech is in there

[north path]

Fair enough, and if it works it works :P

[buoyant jolt]

What kind of blocks us in on 2021 is just the crazy support we have to cover, from consoles to headsets to AR. It's not Unitys fault by any means. It's near impossible to have a clean end to end test for all of them, and sometimes it's not them but some critical (i.e. console SDK) or side framework that can't be used.

I think all things considered they do a darn good job trying to keep stable 🙂

[north path]

Understandable. 2021 still is pretty solid tho, so that's nice. I've seen way too many projects stuck in 2019 versions (or even one 2018 beta, which still sounds like a very bad idea to me) , while still being in active development :o

[north path]

Yeah with such broad support that's really impressive

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, I think last time it was the OpenVR / SteamVR component that wasn't working in 2022. It's probably long-since fixed, so I'm hoping over Christmas to test us migrating our base framework to 2022. There are some improvements I'd like to have in there

The QA team will kill me though as weve had them testing a big game update the last few weeks and are tired

[dull lake]

Can someone help me with the XR device Simulator?

All I get is black screen when I push play

[lyric prawn]

Along those lines, is there a way to reset all the URP settings back to the out of the box defaults? I was not very disciplined in my settings changes as I experimented, and now I have just lost track. I need to start from scratch.

[hardy hatch]

When I go to playtest, the plane at (0,0,0) is placed right below my chin, rather than at the floor. How do I fix this?

[north path]

You can just make a new one and delete the old one. But the default settings aren't the most performant by far.
My Application Spacewarp repo has a decent URP setup and proper player settings
https://github.com/smitdylan2001/ApplicationSpaceWarp/tree/2021.3

[north path]

Is your tracking mode at device or floor?
Also what is the position of your xr rig?

[hardy hatch]

Floor, and the bottom of the bounding box is 1 above the plane

[zealous dawn]

Hello! I am working on a immersive VR project and I am looking for an easy way to control hardware outside the game with in-game actions. For example, I want to turn on a fan at a specific moment or a shaky plate you stand on to start moving once an in-game event is triggered.
Is there a plugin or script that I should use?

[hidden carbon]

quick question, does open XR Hand tracking support grab pose? I added it to my project but i can only do pinch grab

[buoyant jolt]

There are Bluetooth and arduino sdks if you need them

[north path]

I believe the latest preview also has custom pose generation, so you could use that for your own system

[rich cedar]

Sorry, i got muted in the server because my internet was laggy and i couldnt send my answere. I thought they were more performen, so im better off using a point light source in that scenario ?

[safe fern]

what do people use for AO ?

[buoyant jolt]

I bake it into the scene if I need it, bakery usually.

[safe fern]

anything realtime? cant really bake AO in open world scenarios, especially grass etc and dynamic objects, moveables etc

[buoyant jolt]

I don't really like having non-lighting generated AO in my projects as it interferes with lighting, so I can't help I'm afraid.

[safe fern]

no AO at all? but everything looks so blant and "gamey" without it

do oyu use anything else, blob shadows, color bleed or anything?

[buoyant jolt]

Of course, but that's handled by lighting.

[safe fern]

can you show some screenshots? im not really knowledgeable with lighting, did some baking with bakery once but thats about it

[buoyant jolt]

Might be better asked in #archived-lighting as it's not really #🥽┃virtual-reality specific

[lyric prawn]

Okay but how do I make a new one? I hope you don't mean the entirte project.

[ionic stratus]

Hi!
So I have a multiplayer application where I've gotten interaction with objects to work, you can see when other players grab them and so on. But if someone puts an interactable in a XR Socket Interactor, other players are unable to see when they take it out of the socket again. Anyone have an idea on how to solve this? thanks in advance

[hardy hatch]

Ground is still at chin level rather than floor level

[north path]

You can copy the files maybe?

[lyric prawn]

Is the URP just a file in the asset folder? If so I could make a new project and copy it.

[north path]

As I said, the default is not the most performant.
You can also just download that project and download what you need. I think URP settings are in Assets/Settings

[pine bison]

Do you have any examples of VR games that perform realtime AO? Cause to me that doesn't sound viable tbh

[safe fern]

i barely played any, so no xd im curious if tho, AO isnt that expensive as it was 20 years ago, low quality AO should be viable

GTAO / MXAO

[ionic stratus]

Someone can help me ? Online i found nothing about this

[north path]

I made a game in the past with SSAO and it barely hit 60fps on a 3070 lol. If the settigns were polished it was around 90-110, but it looked like crap then
Do wonder if different tech could get it to work

[next gull]

hi not sure if this question has popped up before, but I'm trying to learn vr in Unity with my Quest 1 headset, but cannot for the life of me get the touch controllers working. I've followed a bunch of tutorials, this one being the most helpful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnn-dzHz-tA&t=759s

I'm using Unity 2022.3.14f1 and have the XR Interaction Toolkit, Oculus XR Plugin and the OpenXR Plugin. I've also added an Input Action Manager with the toolkit's sample presets for controls. I have the Quest 1 in developer mode and Quest Link mode so I can just hit play and test from my editor. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get the controllers working in Unity. They appear active as I can hit the menu button for Quest home, but the controllers in the Unity project just stay at the origin. Any suggestions?

[lyric prawn]

Okay thanks.

[dull lake]

What should I do if I can’t get the VR Simulator to work? I only get a black screen every time I run it

[buoyant jolt]

I've never used the simulator to be honest, but I'd start by checking if the Camera is enabled etc

[tiny niche]

check some other tutorials. quite a few of them miss that you actually need to register the rig controllers in the action manager

and you also need to ensure the correct input system is active in the project settings

[next gull]

this is what my action manager looks like

[tiny niche]

oh i meant interaction manager

its a monobehavior that goes on a global object

[next gull]

you mean this?

Hi, I am facing a shaking problem. I am using OVR Player Controller I have a cube on the table. Cube contains a box collider and rigidbody and table with only a box collider, and collider size is equivalent to the cube size. When I grab the cube and start moving, sometimes my application starts shaking suddenly. During the shaking, only the camera values change. I believe this is a collider issue. Does anyone know about this problem or have any solution?

Hey so I'm planning on releasing my game on steam and I was wondering if there is anything you need to do to port it to steam? Currently my game uses OpenXR and oculus intregation but if I were to port it for steam would it still work or would I have to change settings? And If I have to change settings could someone point me to a tutorial or some documentation on what settings to change? Thanks!

[storm ether]

In project settings, XR plugin management, Tick the OpenXR box

[vapid seal]

Im busy

Ill be back tmw

[buoyant jolt]

Usually you need to bring in the OpenVR (instead of SteamVR) or other plugin to get it working with Unity. Some versions of unity just plain old don't work with it. Some the input system just won't connect, so VR works but the controllers don't. I think we had to test 4 versions before we got a relatively updated working combination.

Imho, Essentially in the early VR days, Unity kind of refused to step in and set a standard. So all the VR companies had to create their own plugins, with their own standards. And some of them, like OpenVR, doesn't always work properly because of that

[orchid jolt]

Got it, Thanks for the info!

hello everyone i wanna step into vr game development but confused which vr to choose rn i am in between quest 2 and quest 3 can you let me know what would be best beginner vr and is it worth spending more for quest 3 or quest 2 can also work great?

[hardy hatch]

Quest 3 if you have the money for it

Just overall better which is to be expected since it's newer hardware

[wicked bronze]

quest 3 will cost me like $700 to $800 where as quest 2 will cost me $300 so i am abit concerned

[hardy hatch]

If you just need the headset, get a Quest 2. If you're gonna do primarily PCVR, get a Quest 2. If you're gonna use the Quest standalone stuff, get a Quest 3.

[wicked bronze]

than i guess i should get quest 3 as my system is not that powerful setup

[buoyant jolt]

Quest 3 and a VR ready computer, if you are seriously pursuing it. Quest 2 if you are only curious.

[lofty tangle]

As far as VR goes, quest 2 is great. If AR is your priority then quest 3 is a must.

Hi ! 👋
I have some issues with a custom terrain renderer and VR
The cube (big grey square) and the landscape use the same shaders (with minor tweaks to use a standard vertex buffer instead of a 'heightmap' buffer to make it works with standard mesh)

It works for the cube, but not with the terrain which is only visible to the left eye.
The terrain is not a standard mesh and is drawn using DrawMeshInstancedIndirect. I think it is related to the problem, but I can't find any documentation or help about it.

Does anyone have a suggestion ?

Thanks 🙂

(Also I think this is a problem for experts, so if maybe there is a better channel to get an answer I'd be interested ^^)

Ok !
I enabled "MultiPass Rendering" and it fixed the problem...
So I Think I'm right, but I can't figure how to fix it for singlePass. hmm...

anyone here know how to reduce gpu usage while keeping the render quality?, my scene only have 50 drawcall and 300k polygon at max, already try disable volume and all of my custom shader, and all of my texture already compressed to 512, but the gpu usage is still at 97+, and the only way to reduce it was to reduce the render scale, which doesnt good for User experience especially for device like VR

*tested in quest2

[craggy belfry]

hmm, what is XR.update?

[frank oasis]

Don’t bother with the free version they nerfed it so much

Half the code is complete waffle

[crude frost]

Greetings. I have a shadergraph that looks fine when running in multipass, but when I change to SPI and Multiview, it only renders 100% of the meshes in one eye, and like 20% in the other eye. I checked the shadergraph properties after I switched the stereo rendering mode, and it had the correct macros on it. Any ideas why ?

[craggy belfry]

i tested it in multiview and it's look's normal to me (both eye render mesh 100%), thought i am using URP instead of BIRP

[crude frost]

thanks for checking! If we can't solve it, maybe we will try URP...but every time we've tried URP in the past, we'd get flickering, or low FPS.

[craggy belfry]

I never experience Flickering in URP,but low FPS on the other hand,oh god all of my projects have less than 60fps, and others weird shenanigans

And I already tried:
-compress texture
-no HDR
-no post processing
-no MSAA
-vulkan
-custom render pipeline (this one kinda works tho,but sometimes it's just straight up crash or freeze my projects, granted it's still experimental)

Hi

I need to force select interaction between two hands and an interactable at once.

The interactable has Select Mode set to multiple and it works well when I use it by physically grabbing it with my controllers.

If I use force select through script though, then only one of the forced hands is moving the object, even though both of the hands are in the interactable.interactorsSelecting list.

I'm using a default interaction manager everywhere (by not setting it in the inspector) and this is how I force select:

interactable.interactionManager.SelectEnter(rightHandInteractor, interactable);
interactable.interactionManager.SelectEnter( leftHandInteractor, interactable);

Can someone suggest me how I can get this to work correctly?

[frigid timber]

Hello, can you please elaborate on this? It will be helpful. Thanks.

[buoyant jolt]

Whichever VR framework you picked, will have samples and examples scenes to work with

I love the ambition BUT this is one of those things that's good to know in advance. Just because configuring the frameworks can be very nitpicky

[lavish rivet]

Okay

[buoyant jolt]

The type of headset also matters, and the framework for XR

[lavish rivet]

Do I need to get a headset first before using Unity vr?

Or could I just do everything then get a vr headset?

[buoyant jolt]

No, there are simulators too (i havent used them myself) but you won't know if it's really setup right without one. Especially shaders and manifest files

[lavish rivet]

Yep that’s what I’m worried about doing everything then finding that I did everything wrong

Do you have any good tutorials that r recent

[buoyant jolt]

Assuming it's a Quest, it's really a very big android phone. So an outline shader may work great in the editor, but only in one eye, or run really slow, once pushed to the headset.

I can't help in that regard I'm afraid, I don't know about tutorials

I know some folks seem to like unity learn.

I have a quick question would this work? It needs an android phone to function and it has no hand controllers but would it work for testing purposes?

[lavish rivet]

K thanks I’ll use this

[buoyant jolt]

You could, and use google cardboard for it. But that's more or less abandoned tech now, and you'll need to rebuild everything later. It also only does 3 degrees and doesn't have controllers or hand tracking

At least I think, I didn't use gear vr myself. We were mostly a vive studio at that time

[lavish rivet]

If we just need to record a video for the competition and no one else has to actually play it could we just use gear vr?

[buoyant jolt]

If it's just a video, and they don't need to see you, you could just make it for desktop or use the simulator

I think knowing cardboard VR / gear VR and how it works is worth knowing.

But I also think it's looking behind you. Using OpenXR and learning modern VR is a whole lot more rewarding

If anyone is interested, I posted a subclass of XRHandSkeletonDriver that makes it easier to drive any skinned hand without needing to edit the model. https://gist.github.com/hawkwood/55353b84c24e99e6a05333054f54c296

[tiny niche]

you can read the device name

[lofty carbon]

Nope, when i do that it returns "Open XR Devixe"

[tiny niche]

apparently things have changed and the khronos group just said "no"

so you should probably have the user pick their headset manually from a list at the start of the game and add a "does this seem insane to you? complain to the khronos group" button that opens an angry email template

[lofty carbon]

I'll surely do that. At the moment i just have the game read the Current HMD from a application parameter, so you'd start the game with start "D:/game/game.exe" -hmd oculus
and then the game would just have that. If you start it without a hmd in the parameter i just have a GUI that pops up and asks wich one ur using.

I'll proably make this a steam launch options thing, since you can set launch parameter there easily

i'll def make an email template button lmao

[tiny niche]

that's actually incorrect if a user happens to say own a vive and buys the app on the meta store to play on pc

then you'll have both oculus and steamvr arguments at the same time

[lofty carbon]

._.

[tiny niche]

same if a quest user where to play a steam game

[lofty carbon]

But then the controller were to emulate the controller in use. eg. revive would emulate an oculus touch controller, so they'd just have to configure it so it works

And If i sell it on oculus, i would have a set launch option for each platform, so on rift f.e. it would obviously expect you to use a rift

[tiny niche]

if they where using revive, openxr is supposed to make revive deprecated

[lofty carbon]

At the moment i only plan to support Index, pico 4 and quest... because those are the only hmds i own

wouldn't know how to playtest the rest :(

[tiny niche]

yea but you'd still want to avoid blocking people from trying other headsets

[lofty carbon]

And input tracking is its own mess,,,

[lofty carbon]

well, its all launch parameters, so they could easily remove / change the parameter on their platform

[tiny niche]

really, you should just make a device selection screen or use winapi to enumerate devices

[lofty carbon]

If you're on steam, you can already select wich hmd you're using via the launch options... and on the oculus store for pc, you just have to use the quest/rift anyways, and standalone isn't even an issue...

[tiny niche]

well steam will always pass the -vrmode steamvr to any vr app, so passing anything else just adds a duplicate parameter

and the user would have to know what the correct value is

[lofty carbon]

steam doesn't pass anything at the moment...

it just launches the game :p

[tiny niche]

check the arguments it was launched with. Unless it changed recently, it will pass a -vrmode argument

i think procmon has the argument list

[lofty carbon]

i made it print all arguments into the console and it seems to unly get the ones i set

[lofty carbon]

wat?

[buoyant jolt]

Good idea, last time I worked with it I had to hack it up for a gamejam and it definitely wasn't pleasant 😄

I alwo don't like how it kind of randomly enables the controller and hands without a lot of consistency. But that was easy enough to fix.

[uneven stirrup]

does anyone know how to always display the controllers in steamvr, I want to align them with my ingame hands

i am folllowing a tutorial that uses Metas v57 SDK. They have updated to v60. Some things are different and I dont know how to resolve

can someone help me out?

[shell pivot]

why cant i see the other options that are normally available in the xr menu?

i have the xr interaction and all enabled

[lofty tangle]

That’s the only one I use. Cause I don’t use the tool kit. Make sure you added the xr tool kit if you do want all the rest

[crisp knot]

i have tried google and youtube to find out how, but i cant figure out how to get vr height calibration, please help if you can

[shell pivot]

thnks bud, u saved my job

[shell pivot]

everything works fine but as soon as i move my vr joystick, this goes up above the room
i have applied mesh collider and box collider to the scene too

[buoyant jolt]

It's automaticly done when configuring your space (outside of the game) or manually (if not using floor tracking)

If you want that height value, the how depends on what VR headset and SDK you are using (but the most consistent across all is the height difference between the camera and the VR stack base)

[buoyant jolt]

Are you inside the box collider? Depending on the VR framework, it will push you up until it stops colliding

Although whatever you are using for joystick controls may be incrementing the wrong axis too

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/XR.XRDevice.GetTrackingSpaceType.html

[buoyant jolt]

Ah my bad - I missed the above. If you aren't using an XR Rig, you'll need to manually set a camera height. This will help if you want to go that route but it'll be quite a bit of work. Link above!

Can I create a room in unity with the .csv file which contains the data for the room?

[buoyant jolt]

You can do anything you set your mind to

A csv file is just a list of comma separated values. You can do whatever you want with it.

But it wouldn't be very good for documenting a room design. There are better formats (json for example) for that

[lean harbor]

I don’t know where to ask questions so if this isn’t the place just let me know. Anyway I was following valem’s 2022 vr tutorial playlist and randomly all my tracking just stopped working (height and hands) I went over and checked everything it seemed to be fine I even made a new new xr rig from the menu and changed nothing and it still didn’t work. Also one day my canvas only showed in my left eye and didn’t stay in place it was moving based on the camera. Any help would be appreciated

Hi guys i am currently making a cooking game and can’t seem to find a way to make the action of rolling up a burrito? something like a dough like action in unity. Is there anyway to make such a thing in unity vr? i am currently using the oculus 2

[glass oasis]

Try animating it?

[cosmic moss]

i want to make it detect the player’s rolling action

is there a way to make it much more realistic?

[glass oasis]

Maybe code a script for it?

[cosmic moss]

oh i figured that there is some unity vr physics i could utilise

thanks anyways!

Hello guys,
how can I do it, so that if my XR Direct Interactor releases its XR Grab Interactable, when its too far away?

[silver wadi]

Hi people, please I want some advices to make great experiences on VR with unity. by now I am using VRIF but I want to try other options

[ashen grotto]

Hi, can i build pcvr game on unity for quest3?

[buoyant jolt]

If you used a cross platform framework, and have proper performance, and reconfigured it to properly run on the Quest (manifest etc) and are using mobile friendly shaders - then yes

But even if all of those are false, you could rewrite the VR interactions, rewrite the shaders, make the scene more performant etc. So the answer of can you do it is still a yes just a longer path 🙂

[buoyant jolt]

It depends a lot on your long term and short term goals. Hurricane for example works well as it is but is not coded well or very adaptable. OpenXR is highly adaptable but you'll need to write most everything yourself as it has kind of poorly hobbled together samples. VRTK is great but overkill for a lot of things. UltimateVR has some really cool performance but bad documentation and not great OpenXR support. VRIF is pretty decent all around though and a good middle ground.

We use raw OpenXR with our own VR framework on top to make it more commercially viable

[silver wadi]

Oh ok ok. Thanks. What about meta sdk? Recently I saw its oculus samples from github but I dont know if it is good to get demos?

[buoyant jolt]

Their sdk is really only meant for their headset. If you contract to companies it's worth it to know in case they have a project using it. But if it'd for your own games etc, you usually want something not vendor dependant so you can build for Pico, steam, Quest, PSVR2 etc. Headsets vary in popularity over time.

If you only care about meta headsets though then the Meta sdk is the way to go

[buoyant jolt]

Anytime it's meta sdk, steamvr sdk, Pico sdk, etc. It's good to know how it works. But yeah it just isn't wise long term to rely on them. If you do, I'd look at the VRTK (which acts as a wrapped for all the individual SDKs).

[silver wadi]

So, do u say that VRTK is better than VRIF for oculus quest?

[buoyant jolt]

Not really no but I like OpenXR (conceptually) and VRIF is well built

OpenXR in of itself isn't really commercially viable without a fair amount of effort. VRIF helps reduce that

It's all subjective tho

[amber wolf]

Any help on how to fix this error? Google says there should be a "read/write enabled" toggle in the inspector but I sure don't see it!

Error: "Not allowed to access triangles/indices on mesh 'Bunker Biick' (isReadable is false; Read/Write must be enabled in import settings)"

It's not on the mesh renderer, it's on the actual mesh you imported. Look for it in the project explorer not the scene view

Hi guys,can you help me in this thread https://forum.unity.com/threads/i-can-not-grab-the-object.1499249/#post-9553195

[arctic blade]

Hey! Anyone here had a difficult time getting the meta all-in-one sdk setup? I've got the OVRPlayerController prefab plopped in and some controllers in the hand anchors, but no models in my scene are displaying when built within my Quest 3. Also, when I lift my hands up my controllers are all jittery looking and morphing around the edges.

[vast roost]

try putting a plane below u, i experience jittery controllers and thats because i was falling

[dry minnow]

Is there any advantage to VRTK or VRIF over XR Interaction Toolkit? I like the concept of XRIT since it’s made by Unity and therefore in theory won’t break over time

[buoyant jolt]

Both are far more complete. The toolkit is missing basic things like screen fading and more complex interactions.

They built it about 5 years later than they should have, and it's very barebones.

That said, we use XRIT with our own framework over top. I recommend using the XRIT as a starting point and more of a POC to work with.

I wouldn't assume though that because Unity made it, it won't break over time. XRIT and their hands projects have both been riddled with bugs and very slow to correct and update. They do finally have some talented people working on it, but for the longest time it seemed like it was written by their student interns.

What I absolutely love about the VRTK is the deep set of samples. VRIF is easy to overlook but a very well done framework. Both can work on top of OpenXR, which is fantastic. But they can be overcomplex for some projects

But that's just my opinion

[frigid timber]

Are there any good courses or tutorials for VR - Unity?

[gusty zephyr]

hello!

[shrewd sentinel]

Valem /Valem tutorials are popular good ones to get you started. https://www.youtube.com/@ValemTutorials

[dry minnow]

The VR course on unity learn is pretty good too

[dry minnow]

Thanks. I’ll have to double check the docs for VRTK/IF because i didn’t immediately see that many additional features XRIT doesn’t have. I does seem XRIT got some attention last year so hopefully will continue improving

Will look into those samples. All I really want out of a toolkit right now is Ray interaction + smoothing, sockets, basic locomotion, and snap volume, which XRIT seems to have covered

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, to be honest, it depends a lot on what you want to do with it.

For your own projects, XRIT is probably fine (you can make the decision to follow the XRIT design). If you want to subcontract, you'll need to learn all the toolkits (as youll be inheriting all kinds if projects). If you want to make products for clients but not sub contract, you'll likely want to explore the VRIF/VRTK or your own customized XRIT (as it has some surface level VR support, but is really lacking on deeper layers, and clients will ask for all kinds of features it can't support out of the box and is built in a way that's difficult to add).

There are benefits and advantages to each. For example VRTK acts as a wrapper for SteamVR, Oculus, OpenXR, Pico etc. So with the VRTK, you can do things like show the actual controller models for the right headset (which XRIT cannot do - without you adding all the models yourself and writing something). Stuff like that seems unimportant until you actually have a non-gaming client (in which case it is bad practice to hide the controllers, as the users should fail at a simulation because of their lack of knowledge of the subject, not because they can't find a controller button).

So the reasoning on why using each is quite subjective.

The VRTK was also started and battle tested about 3 years before Unity even bothered trying to come up with the OpenXR "standard". Had they bothered to invest in creating a common VR layer back in 2015/2016 with everyone else it probably would be the most robust solution. But right now it isn't, and is still missing basic things like comfort options for locomotion, and good clear inheritance on classes and such. Anyway, I digress.

[dry minnow]

No this is really useful perspective. I definitely hope to be able to freelance in XR dev, so I can see how familiarity with several frameworks is useful, especially for random stuff like the controller models.. would hate to spend a day implementing that manually. Beyond that, there are other popular ones like Autohand, Hurricane, etc etc I can imagine bumping into.

Here's to hoping for more convergence with these frameworks going forward

[buoyant jolt]

Absolutely. Hurricane is a mess - and autohand takes a lot more work than a person may expect. But we've done some big projects with both before 🙂 definitely a lot of choices...

We get a few rescue projects where a past company built it with oculus or steamvr direct as well, and they want to go to other headsets. Those are never fun

We don't really take those on anymore though, which is good. But they come with a lot of unknowns

[dry minnow]

Wow, yeah, I can see a lot of value in building your own "common use-cases" tools, either from scratch or on top of XRIT or something

Also, if I may ask, how do XR contract studios typically link up with clients, for industrial type work (trainings, simulations, etc)? Do they more often reach out to you? Or does it also require a lot of outreach/'cold emails'?

[dry minnow]

For small/mid sized outfits, I mean. Not big studios working with huge fortune 500 companies and such

[buoyant jolt]

Good question, we don't approach them. They all come to us via word of mouth. We work on maybe 8 to 10 XR projects a month, and they usually take 1 to 3 months. Although this is starting to change to less projects over longer periods with bigger budgets.

For the big companies they usually have an RFP or something, and the work split across a year. Those you may need to compete with a proposal for. Some like ExxonMobil had 10 studios including us but that becomes a different challenge. We've been pretty lucky there (RFPs) with a 75% success rate or so.

Sometimes though it's manufactured. For example if we see a fund open for healthcare. We line up a hospital we work with, a university, and a municipality. Couple of letters of support, good supporting data, strong proposal with good references and then cross your fingers.

We are tiny though and in a weird bubble where there aren't a lot of competitors in our city.

[dry minnow]

Wow, that is a lot of projects! Kudos, you and your team must be doing something right.

It always impresses me so many firms are contracting out work, as I feel like barely anyone I know has tried 'XR'

[buoyant jolt]

I have been meaning to ask, did you get your particle air simulation completed ?

[buoyant jolt]

Thanks! It's a huge journey and it is definitely hard.

[dry minnow]

Have you done much 3D UI, such as in the link below? That's what I was wanting to accomplish with sockets/grabbables.

I feel like some combination of 3D UI and 2D info panels is a sweet spot for XR UI/UX

https://twitter.com/benz145/status/1711354039311471097

[buoyant jolt]

Definitely! Our games are all 3D objects for UI 🙂 it makes it a lot more fun. There is a psychological thing when someone expects to be in an interactive experience but none of the drawers or objects do anything. It kind of defeats them.

Same with NPCs, we try and ensure they make eye contact and acknowledge you, so you don't feel ignored in the experiences

[tiny niche]

@dry minnow the feel of doing mundane tasks, like opening a drawer is also super important. The unity escape room sample completely screwed that up by allowing physics to have the drawer recoil back when you drag it out all the way, making it feel really bad

[frigid timber]

Thanks for asking. But still, I was not able to get it.

[frigid timber]

Can you share more guidance on it? I'm entirely new to this and I have to complete it at least before the 15th of January.

[buoyant jolt]

I can try but I'll likely be repeating what I suggested earlier...

My understanding is this is for a class. I'm not sure in that case why they aren't teaching you as part of the class. As if it's for a client as a project I would be harsh.

My understanding is also that you have two objects, a room / box. And a airflow model, which has no faces, and is just a series of lines on a model.

The first decision is user and user space. I'd either scale everything in increments of 10 to let the player fill the space. Or place it on a desk with a button to start stop the simulation. This part is very quick (15mins) to create and can come from any VR samples.

The air however has no mass and appear as lines only. So I would either use the Unity particle system to flow along the lines, or write some code to march an arrow along the line.

If you absolutely need the line to have mass you can use the solidify modifier in blender. But it shouldn't be needed.

From there you have the VR, the input, and the display. I think that's everything that's needed?

[frigid timber]

I can try but I'll likely be repeating

Curious if anyone's used XRControllerRecorder as motion capture to record and playback hmd/controller movements, simlar to playing back animations?

The documentation on that class/method is pretty scant, but I noticed it sounds possibly useful for this type of capture. Thanks!

good evening!

Is anyone able to help me out, currently trying to create a game using drag movement (with one controller) whilst also including player rotation by pinching the controllers together however i can't seem to work it out

I've written a script a long time ago that'll allow me to move with both controllers being pulled but i cant work out how to adapt it for a single controller

[tiny niche]

what do you mean by pinching together?

you could probably act it out while moving your body to compensate in vr, to figure out exactly how you want it to work

[buoyant jolt]

@ebon bison it's probably both light baking and quality settings. The quality settings change per platform

[tiny niche]

and how where you planning on translating that to 1 hand?

compare with a fixed point?

[tiny niche]

you basically disregard the input system and work with the plugin api directly. But that would be dumb

or construct the xr rig in code, but that would still be dumb

[sharp hedge]

ok

[mint turret]

Yeah basically, I can provide a vid reference if it’s easier to visualise what I mean

[tiny niche]

record the position of the hand when you first press the trigger, then just pretend that position is the other hand

[mint turret]

Probs having a blonde moment, how do you mean?

[tiny niche]

well your old code worked with 2 controllers. So instead of having an extra controller, you grab a snapshot of it when the trigger gets pressed and keep using that as if it was the other controller

[vale idol]

is there a way to fix it?

[weak garnet]

Am I missing something or is the second parameter of OVRInput.GetDown supposed to mask the button press to a specific controller type?
It doesn't seem to filter anything unless I set it to None.
But if I add an extra check to the If statement and check against OVRInput.activeControllerType, I can restrict it to Hands or Touch controller.
I guess it's fine doing it that way, but I don't understand why the mask doesn't work in OVRInput.GetDown

[mint turret]

I'm trying to get it similar to this (i like the style/method of movement)

Tried doing that but the problem was it just jitters around a whole load

[tiny niche]

that one doesn't do rotation though, it just translates in x/y/z

[icy mantle]

Does someone know, how I get the interactor which is selecting an interactable? Using unity XR interaction toolkit

You could get the players height through calibration, then scale all the players so they’re all one height

Either that or use “device” instead of “floor” mode for the device height. And set it to the height you want

Hi all! I'm trying to build for the Quest 2, and I have a water shader - Calm Water, which refuses to be rendered. I've tried A LOT of the settings, under graphics always including the shader, changing graphic APIs, the lot. Funny thing is, when I open the frame debugger while running it, it renders the water. Also, I have a "Start screen" canvas, that also does not render. I'm trying to find solutions online, and I thought I might as well ask here. Any help would be appreciated!

Everything is fine on the Editor and Windows build, but not the apk.

[ornate veldt]

Do you use shader graph? If not could you send the shader.

[rapid pumice]

I don't believe I am. The shader is called Calm Water (Double Sided). It's on the asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/shaders/calm-water-50834

I do believe the issue could be with my camera settings or render settings, since a basic canvas isn't being rendered either. The canvas looks like this:

The canvas settings -> render mode is set to world space with the main camera set as the event camera. Additional shader channels are set to everything.

and this my main camera:

[lavish rivet]

Let’s go we making progress in our game

[verbal sentinel]

Trees in VR? somebody has tips? I tried several models and types and most looks bad. I need a sort of realistic trees and plants that doesn't kill the FPS and look ok in VR. Any ideas?

[storm ether]

i need help with my vr game. youre supposed to move with your hands like gorilla tag and previously i could move with my hands and now after updating the game i cant move with my hands at all. the only thing i did to the player model rig stuff was add 2 eyes do the headmodel and thats it

[ornate veldt]

Unfortunately no. Foliage is already a hard thing to render and VR makes it even worse. Most games just shove a bunch of leaves (quads with cutout texture) and call it a day. A good example is Red Dead Redemption 2. But in VR this looks horrible because they appear really flat and the frame budget doesn't even allow for enough leaves to begin with. There is also the issue with leave aliasing. Most VR games use MSAA witch renders multiple pixels (samples) at the edges of polygons to anti alias them, but the problem is that the cutout texture does not get recognized as an edge so MSAA just doesn't work with cutout foliage. FXAA could help with this, but players don't like it for the blurriness.

If you play Half Life: Alyx you can actually see that most foliage in made of big plants and not small leaves so they could be fully modeled (there are some trees though).

Boneworks just completely ignored the issue by not having foliage (aside from grass). And other games just say fuck it and use the bad looking cutout foliage.

[storm ether]

could i get some input on this

[visual root]

Not much input to give. What exactly did you update? Are you using any VR framework? Any errors in the console? Have you tried reverting the changes in version control?

[lyric prawn]

I know this is a long shot, but has anyone successfully used the "Stylized Water 2" asset with a Quest 2? When I use the mobile prefab, it works. When I use the Ocean2 prefab, the water does not appear in the headset, although it does in the Unity editor in game mode. The docs say this can happen if certain options are not checked (depth and opaque textures) but those are on and I can't see there are being overridden.

[tiny niche]

i'd take some time and plan it out. You'll typically need different solutions depending on what type of tree it is and how close you're supposed to be to it

textured planes work well as long as you don't get close and have limited viewing angles. If you get close, you need to have more than usual foliage density and proper geometry for anything within a 2m range

[storm ether]

All I did was add bunch of objects like cylinders made of trees a bunch of cubes and some sound effects and I didn't see any errors

[stark vault]

I am currently IK rigging, and when I press play, my main camera spawns just above the legs. Also, my oculus hand prefabs are ahead of the actual 3d hand models and are 5x smaller.

[stark vault]

Fixed, but now my main camera under my XR Origin is now stuck inside the rig component which is in the legs and will not go up

I just wanted to ask how much the performance would worsen if I increased the pixels per unit on the canvas from 500 to something like 800, 900, or even 1000. The whole app is running on a Quest 3, so every frame counts, especially because of the battery life.

For those wanting to know my exact problem: The Oculus Interaction SDK requires me to project a canvas as a render texture on a quad. However, doing so results in a pretty blurry image and bad resolution, even though I already set the render scale on the render texture to max. I tried playing around with some settings, and increasing the pixels per unit seemed to solve the issue for me. However, there might be another, better solution, like increasing the canvas resolution or something (Currently it's at around 720p, which is indeed kind of low res) . I'm not an expert. I tried increasing it in the RectTransform, but it did nothing.

Anyone know how I could use XR Grab Interactables with a 3D models hands

[vale idol]

you could just make the 3D hand over the original controllers using the VR core

[storm ether]

how do I find the animation controller for my avi?

Hi guys has anyone used the Vive XR Elite in unity before?

and is so were you abel to get the passthorugh working in unity?

[distant garden]

Or is the passthrough only on a surface level and not accessable in unity?

[severe saffron]

either learn coding or buy an asset

[pine bison]

The passthrough docs are for use in unity https://hub.vive.com/storage/docs/en-us/UnityXR/UnityXRPassthrough.html

Thank you

[sinful cape]

Has anyone used the newest (as of december) meta avatar sdk? I'm really struggling with it, and thanks to it being so new, it's really difficult to find information on it.

[lyric prawn]

I'm wondering what the minimum frame time is for an XR scene on a Meta Quest 2. I built a scene with nothing but:

XR interaction Manager
XR Origin (XR Rig)
Directional Light
EventSyatem
Graphy

And I see that each frome is 13.9ms. Thats a frame rate of 71FPS, but as I add stuff that 13.9ms becomes a problem.

Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

[buoyant jolt]

Well, not sure what you mean about minimum. But you don't want to go below 45fps (PCVR thanks to reprojection etc) or people will start getting sick from the delay. 60fps is the minimum or meta will reject you on submission..

I believe the Quest 2 is capped at 60fps though (looks like I'm wrong and its 72fps!)

I'm not sure, I see conflicting answers online. But the important bit is your speed might be getting capped by the Quest 2 as it's FPS is capped

[lyric prawn]

By minimum, I mean it tkes at least 13.9ms to rencder a scene that has nothing in it other than XR components. That is quite a lot when your frame budget is < ~20ms. It makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

[pine bison]

What unity version are you on?

Q2 is capped at 72 by default but can be set to 90 or 120 on demand

[lyric prawn]

2022.3.14f1

I would be thrilled to have 72 FPS, but I thought that was as fast as Quest 2 went. Right now, I get 72 with nothing in the scene but Graphy, although taking that out and using the metrics from the MQDN shows thre same, so Graphy is not the issue.

The concern is,. when I add stuff to my scene. that takes another 14ms per frame to render. So my frame rate drops to like < 30 which is horrible.

So I'm trying to reduce overhead wherever I can, and I just wanted to make sure I'm not wasting my budget with a mistake in the XR components.

[buoyant jolt]

It sounds like you just need to verify and do some optimizations (Profiler can help a lot here). Most of the time, I find the issue is because of polygon counts & too many draw/batch calls

I have yet to see a Quest project that struggled from code optimization - but I'm sure there are some that exist.

[lyric prawn]

I'm sure can improve my stuff, but wow, 14ms just for an empty XR scene? Isn't that quite a lot?

[buoyant jolt]

But all of that can be verified editor side with enabling stats to verify, and profiler to verify.

[lyric prawn]

Thanks, I'm still learning to use the profiler

[buoyant jolt]

That's because it's capped at 72fps. It won't go faster than that.

Unless you expressely tell it to.

[lyric prawn]

So you're saying that some of that 14ms to do nothing is idel time being wasted? If I tell it to go faster than 72FPS, can I recover that?

[buoyant jolt]

So you may get 72fps on an empty scene. But you should stay at 72fps with your loaded scene as well (ideally). If that second part isnt' happening, then you need to optimize it.

In most cases you really don't want it to go faster if you can avoid it, it is capping the FPS because it doesn't need to go faster, and it preserves battery life that way.

[lyric prawn]

Got it, forgot about battery life

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah and heat too. Eventually a heavy scene at 72FPS can start to drop if the GPU isn't cooling down fast enough.

[lyric prawn]

I'm using an asset called Styalized Water 2, and no matter ewhat I sacrifice, it still seems to need 14ms per frame. So I guess I need to ditch it.

[buoyant jolt]

I have some light weight water shaders I did for the Quest 2 somewhere, I wasn't happy with the ones I saw. They were either slow or didn't work right

I'll check later, I may have modified an asset store asset - in which case I can't share it out. But if I wrote it from scratch, I can just send it to you

[lyric prawn]

Oh thank you! I have tried Crest, and a few others, and they all are performance hogs

[buoyant jolt]

OK the bad news is I did, I modified uWater 😦

[lyric prawn]

Okay thanks anyhow.

May I PM you?

[runic summit]

Hello,
I have an issue with my setup for the meta quest 3.
I can launch a project on the quest with the editor with no issue but when i'm building a proper apk, i have an black screen.
I'm guessing there is some settings to change from the pcvr on editor to the real deal. But i didn't really found them.
Any idea or good detailed tutorial about.

[fallow ledge]

making a vr app rn and using xr toolkit and i set "tracking origin mode" to floor but the floor is at eye level for some reason. is anyone able to help?

followed a tutorial and it works for them so im really confused lol any help is appreciated!

[tiny niche]

if it is, then your headset has not been calibrated

[fallow ledge]

i reset guardian and set the ground correctly and it still happens

and the floor is fine during main menu

[tiny niche]

then the problem is not that the floor is at the eye level, its something else

the problem is you could've done something wrong in a million of different ways to get to this situation. So my recommendation would be to go back to the tutorial re-check everything and then do a fresh setup if you don't find the issue

[severe saffron]

using the meta core sdk?

if you are; be sure to use the project setup tool / performance linter. It'll have everything you need to go from blackscreen APK to a proper VR hello world.

And if you have already set up the ovrmanager and whatnot and are still getting a blackscreen, I recommend enabling Developer mode in the Build Settings and installing the android logcat package so you can get errors/debug.logs from the device and into your console.

[visual forge]

ive got an idea for a vr game but im not sure where to develop it. i saw a post saying meta store gets 5 times more revenue but does anyone have some data on that?

it would be nice if i could do it in pcvr but i wouldnt if the market is actually that much worse

[severe saffron]

pretty accurate Id say. pcvr isnt completely dead but meta is killin it 💵 💵 💵

and to be honest my q3 plays games natively 100% better than my 1060 can

Semi-true for the q2 🤣 vs 1060 too

here's my advice: get used to buildin APKs

[runic summit]

i'm not.
I'm now using it and it works much better !
Thanks for the help 🙂

[tiny niche]

sounds about right, but the vr space is really not so big that you can afford to ignore platforms of this scale

[lyric prawn]

I think the Meta Quest 2 is probably, from what I have read, the most deploied headset, so I'm developing for that first.

I have an issue that is driving me nuts. I have an XR Origin (XR Rig) component which includes my main camera. It seems no matter what I set thew Y position to, it puts me several meters above my plane. Other items are where I expect them to be. The x and z seem to work correctly.

I assume I made a dumb mistake but I can find it, any suggestions?

Actually I should clarify, it works in the Unity game mode, but when I deploy to the headsert, it puts me several meters up.

[buoyant jolt]

The headset's Y is always in relation to the floor plane. The XR Origin should always be placed on the flat floor surface not above it.

That way when they put the headset on, the XR Origin is placed where the floor is in their real world, based on their headset calibration

[lyric prawn]

Thanks Lloyd, but I set both to zero and still, I'm well above...

[runic summit]

hello,
When i updated the com.meta.xr.sdk.core from 59.0.0 to 60.0.0 i lost the Oculus.Platform package.
Any idea what is replacing it ? I see nothing on the changelog.
I want to get the username of the meta quest user. Before it was with Oculus.Platform.Users.GetLoggedInUser() now i don't know.

[severe saffron]

I think they just moved it to a different package called the platform SDK

[runic summit]

🤦‍♂️ you are right, i didn't see that.

[vale idol]

Does anyone know how I can make the character in Unity Taller and faster? If you have a video that would be great

[tiny niche]

scale it up and increase velocity

[vale idol]

how?

[tiny niche]

you'll find the scale on the transform in the inspector, drag it to the right and it'll go up

[vale idol]

wait

would u be able to join a call with me and I screen share so u can help?

[vale idol]

like if you wouldnt mind

[tiny niche]

its getting late over here, but you'll figure it out if you google it

[vale idol]

ok thanks alot!

[vale idol]

oh and if you could send me a screenshot of where I can find it that would be very helpful but if not thats ok!

[vale idol]

so when I click on the camera I just increase the scale? How about the velocity?

[tiny niche]

no you increase the scale on the character

[vale idol]

but im using Core VR?

[tiny niche]

velocity you'll have to adjust in your movement code

[vale idol]

so what would be the character?

this is all I have:

[tiny niche]

i don't know, you mentioned a character

[vale idol]

Im not quite sure how it works but I belive the camera has an angle to work with but for some reason its quite low

[tiny niche]

oh if you're talking about the vr camera, you have to match real-world units in the scene

so assume 1 unit in unity is 1 meter

[vale idol]

do you have a video that could explain that or is the problem from the VR headset itself?

[tiny niche]

yea the tracker on a vr headset works in meters, so you have to match that scale

[vale idol]

ohhh

so its not because of unity

its because of the VR headset

[tiny niche]

well its because of how they work together

[vale idol]

ah

thanks alot Ragath!

Il make sure to give you credit in our game!

[vale idol]

its ok its been fixed but if you know how to change player height in VR that would be great

and I'm sure you can modify the value from anywhere, like a ui slider function

I have a problem my player model in my unity game, both of my lower arms and hands do not show up in my game, i am using photon vr i have done every thing to fix my player model, i am wondering if anyone can call me so i can can have help, i have been trying to fix this for a month now and i just need help.

[reef hatch]

Hi all, I've got OpenXR configured, when i run my scene i can see in the input debug that the left/right controllers are there, but when I try InputDevices.GetDevices(devices); in Update(), no devices are found. My left/right controller are configured with ActionBasedController and the defaults value found in the Samples. When I run the scene, I can see the 2 left/right controllers in the openxr overlay.

[storm ether]

if you downgrade unity will you get the XR Rig instead of XR Origin?

[lethal thunder]

can that work to fix my thing

[storm ether]

i'll have to find out

what thing are you making?

[lethal thunder]

a gorilla tag fan game and my player model the lower arms and hands don't show up

Hello! I have a question regarding virtual reality in Unity. I can grab and interact with objects.

I have a few different types of flammable objects, and these objects should be able to light the other flammable objects when they collide.

Now, this is easy to create when using OnCollisionEnter(), but this only works when one of the objects is lying on the floor. Whenever I have both objects in my hands, for example a lit lighter and a rope, OnCollisionEnter() does not work.

Is there a solution to this? I did read about having one of the objects have a trigger collider, but since I want to have more than two objects interact in this way with each other, this would not be a solution.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/detect-collision-between-two-objects-one-grabbed-on-each-hand.1349630/
This here poses the same question, but it was unfortunately left unanswered

Of course I could loop through all objects with a specific tag, specifying they are flammable, but maybe there is a more efficient solution?

[astral trellis]

Hello, I am looking for solution to changing locomotions behaviour for XRI. I want to have normal locomotion actions for controller when I don't hold specific object, and other when I do hold it. I can enable and disable action maps, but whenever I enable locomotion action map it enables everything, regardless of what was set on start.
Am I missing some API from XRI to communicate with those systems?

[astral trellis]

Ok I think I understand now. So solution to my problem is to make a list of input action that are enabled on specific controller before turning it off, and enabling only them when needed.

[buoyant jolt]

I use on collision enter for carried objects all the time. My best guess is how you coded the interaction. Check if the rigidbody and collider are following the object properly on lifting it up

[buoyant jolt]

That would work. It's a very proper way to do it.

This kind of stuff is where OpenXR and their toolkit falls short. It only works out of the box for very simple projects and has every limited designs for locomotion

[crystal knoll]

This did not seem to detect the collision when both objects were picked up at the same time. I can confirm the colliders follow the object

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.ComputePenetration.html

I can confirm it since using this function in update does work, it also uses colliders

[buoyant jolt]

The rigidbodies are the most important part, objects reparent when you pick them up.

That's just a guess on my part though without seeing the hiearchy before and after

[crystal knoll]

I'll check it out, thanks for the info!

[crystal knoll]

I checked, and only when one of the objects is resting (not in a hand) do they collide

@buoyant jolt when holding two objects (one in each hand), they do not collide at all. I just have the standard xr origin stuff added (except I got rid of the ray stuff, and added a direct interactor

[crystal knoll]

So, from what I can see is that when I pick up an item, the rigidbody of the item becomes kinematic, causing it to lose that collision

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, and because you are lifting both, both are losing the rigidbody kinematic. As long as once is not being carried, it'll have a non-kinematic rigidbody, and stay working.

You may have no choice but to use a trigger in that case, as forcing kinematic to true will interfere with the carrying mechanic

Also, it should be noted, you can use OnTriggerEnter and OnCollisionEnter and a set of both trigger colliders and non-trigger colliders on the same object.

[crystal knoll]

I did get this to work https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.ComputePenetration.html
Even though the objects aren't actually colliding, I can actually check if they overlap. Do you think this is less efficient than the trigger method? Or could this pose a serious performance issue?

[buoyant jolt]

It's totally your call. I don't think processing wise it'll make much of a practical difference in either case

[crystal knoll]

Oh wow I haven't thought about doing it this way! That would work!

[crystal knoll]

Alrighty! Thanks a lot for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

[warm rivet]

anyone happen to have a good tutorial for making Complete XR Origin Set Up Variant work with oculus quest 2? i was using XR Device Simulator and it was working well, but when i put my actual HMD the camera is in the wrong spot and all the distances are off (including to my controllers)

nvm disableing the XR Device simulator fixed it, i can just start the game now and it works... now i just need to figure out how to disable all buttons/movement except XY AB since thats all my game uses

[clever owl]

I have a question about adding VR to a first person game. Does this need to be done at start of project or is it easy enough to add at the end? Basically, does supporting VR in FPS involve many changes?

[warm rivet]

anyone know where i can get the input from my VR controllers with this default unity rig? i just need to run a super simple function when pressing X/Y/A/B on my VR controllers but i cant find it for the life of me

[buoyant jolt]

Usually it can be complex to add later. It fundamentally will change how you interact in the world and what you can do. For example, in a traditional FPS you lock a player in a room. In VR, if they have a big enough room space, they could just walk through that wall. Without planning around it, if you hard stop them at the wall, motion won't match the visual and you could induce nausea (which results in people leaving bad reviews saying it isn't meant for VR)

So there are design, input and played considerations for sure.

[buoyant jolt]

You can't really, most of those are just object trackers (positions and rotations). But you can get it from the Input Manager via code

[trim osprey]

I'm trying to code footsteps into my project but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get a movement speed value from the XR toolkit

I want the footsteps to kind of match the pace the player is moving at and since I'm using a joystick I can move at different speeds

the only way I can think of is grabbing the raw input data from the joystick which I think is possible but is there an easier way of setting this up?

[vale idol]

Im having a problem with my Loading Screen on Unity for Oculus and I was hoping if anyone has a video about how to make a loading screen for an already existing unity project

If you're using physics you can use the velocity of the rigidbody? And if not you can calculate it yourself

Hi everyone 👋.I'm new to virtual reality. I want to specialize in architectural virtual tour design. I would like to know which render pipeline is best suited for this kind of experiment. I started with the 2021 version of Unity and would now like to migrate to 2022. If anyone has resources that I could use I would be delighted. THANKS

[astral trellis]

Hey, as far as I know every VR project should be done on URP or SRP (if you know what you are doing). Mainly because of limited computing power you have on mobile devices. I am using Oculus headset and with android there is plenty of limitations. I can recommend Unity Learn part to get some basics and then Unity documentation/Youtube.

[pine bison]

If you're new then I would recommend checking out VR with Andrew or Justin P Barnett on youtube, they have great onboarding tutorials. URP is most likely the best option for you.

Hi everyone,
We are using OVR Body script/component in our project for body tracking.

Unity Version: 2022.3.10f1
Oculus XR Plugin version: 4.0.0
XR Interaction Toolkit: 2.5.2
XR Plugin Management: 4.4.0
Oculus Integration SDK: 57.0

[analog citrus]

Thank you @astral trellis @pine bison for your help. I take note. Thanks very much

[silent ermine]

Hello guys, I posted this question in Unity forums. If you can take a look it would be great. Feel free to ask for more context or code. Thnks!
https://forum.unity.com/threads/hand-tracking-in-moving-objects.1536814/

[crystal knoll]

So, I finally found out what the problem was, apperently you need to use velocity tracking for objects in hands to have collision with one another.

[buoyant jolt]

I can't speak to 2022, but in 2021 there are flaws in the design of URP that make it run worse on Vulcan with the Quest. The last time I benchmarked it, it would actually perform worse. And then I came across the bug tickets to Unity where it seemed to be disclosed it was a known an issue.

I haven't retested it in a while or on 2022, so it may no longer be an issue. But I saw someone else testing it in Android mobile about 4 months back and still seeing the performance drop.

So for me and our studio, we've never moved to URP, and are still on the built in pipeline. We will be re-running the benchmarks later this year and hopefully see if in practice it really is worth redoing all shader and systems for.

That said we've had our share of inherited URP projects from clients - and they run well for the most part. But they aren't doing anything that wouldn't run fine with BiRP either. But I'd say we are supposed to being URP.

[pine bison]

We're on URP in 2021, holding off on upgrading due to performance concerns

[buoyant jolt]

It's a delicate balance for sure. I'm hoping we can move to 2022 this year too

And start using URP

Most MacBooks lack the gpu power to run VR. You typically need a GTX 1060 or higher. And most VR developers don't build binaries for Apple because it's more or less an unusable platform for us. I'd be surprised if you were able to get it working to be honest.

[modest mason]

When making a Physics-based VR game where the player is supposed to be big, would it be better for the VR player to actually be big or should I just scale down the environments? Which one would make for better physics as things are picked up and moved around?

[pine bison]

I’m not sure this is right? I think a MacBook Pro could easily run VR. It’s just that Apple have amputated all VR comparability

When I got my Quest 1 in 2019 I had an old version of MacOS that allowed me to run oculus link on it. But that was not available for long

[pine bison]

For correct physics behaviour it’s recommended to keep objects at 1:1 scale and scale up the player instead

[buoyant jolt]

It is supposed to be blocked by oculus, as the video card in most cases won't meet minimum PCVR specifications.

If it does, and you are running windows, I'm sure it would be fine.

But steam vr, and oculus desktop, typically block their VR services for embedded video cards on laptops and anything below a 1060.

I wouldn't be surprised if they relaxed it from time to time, but those locks have been in there since 2016. They used to block it on many capable cards too, as they mostly were looking at specific consumer sets.

I should preface this by saying I don't like apple

I should also clarify that im saying it's most macbooks, but definitely not all. I'm sure a person could find a way to get a 1060+ running on a MacBook, install windows, and get a usable experience. Or use a lesser than gpu and get lucky if it let's you play through. It's just not something I'd recommend.

So, I just fired up the built-in sample VR scene for the first time. I noticed that whenever you walk around, there's a Vignette effect. I assume this is an accessibility feature, to reduce motion sickness, which I think is a brilliant idea. As someone who doesn't experience motion sickness, I was wondering if there's any sort of resources available for what sort of accessibility options I should keep in mind when developing a VR game?

[modest mason]

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[tiny niche]

mainly things like minimizing movement, support snap turning, teleporting and avoiding large completely uniform unlit shapes, since they mess with your perspective perception

like a grassy field that goes on forever, or when looking at the wall of a hole in the ground

Hey i'm having this issue where when i open my Unity apk build on Quest 3, it just doesn't open or it automatically closes

Has anyone had this issue before?

[vale idol]

I did but it fixed it on its own

I belive it has something to do with the Wifi and Internet

[buoyant jolt]

I found this pretty interesting, it's been shared around on the slack group a bit. Nice list of general examples.

Hi, I'm trying to create a virtual world with a 360 video sphere. I have a sphere with reversed normals, textured with a video. All looks well in the scene view. The problem is that for some reason, in the game view, my camera can't 'see' the sphere unless it's positioned in a certain way, right up to the edge of the sphere, and if I try to back up the camera at all to be able to see more of it, all I see is this black circle in the middle of my screen. I have no idea how else to articulate what I'm experiencing, but let me upload a screenshot:

[buoyant jolt]

Might need to adjust the clipping view of the camera

[tight geode]

No clue what to do with that info

My internet is working fine

[bold sleet]

im trying to use unity 2022.3.6 and i create a new project, it loads and immediately does this then shuts down/crashes. i can use 2019 just fine. It has done this always with this version. I have deleted gi cache, changed settings, changed where i save files, where unity is located, and I even factory reset my pc. nothing. still doing it. I have 16gb ddr5 ram, 13th gen i5-13600KF, and a 3060 so pretty sure its not my pc.

Does the quest support BLE?
If it does how can I access the Bluetooth of the quest in my Unity app?

[prime wing]

Hey, this morning I used Unity in VR, it worked perfectly since 2 weeks, and now when I play a scene, the vr doesn't work, and I don't know why, I checked everything, Uninstall and Install OpenXR etc... The only things that is weird it's that when I check OpenXR, when I close the window and when I re open it, it's Uncheck

[idle sinew]

Hi, In Unity using the XR Rig, how do I make it so the velocity and direction of the object being thrown is only affected by the velocity of the hands and not the movement of the rig itself when in continuous movement?

I'd be walking backwards and throw an object forward only to have it being flung backwards instead because the direction I'm walking.

Is it possible to set it in the Inspector window or do I have to script it?

[north path]

Maybe delete the xr settings file in the project?

[prime wing]

Yeah sorry, I solve a problem, a files was missing in the camera

[frigid timber]

Can I create lines from the csv file in unity? The lines are like the airflows here in this attached picture.

Hi, is it possible to use both ways of moving (Teleportation and stick moving)?

[buoyant jolt]

Sure

[ashen grotto]

Got it. Thanks for your reply!

[buoyant jolt]

Usually you want to let people toggle between them though.

how do i fix this?

i have a cube in the void which i can fly around

then i click the oculus button it freezes the camera and controller positions

motion sickness inducing :p

Is anyone experienced with VR Multiplayer?

I am trying to make a MP VR game using Unity Netcode for Gameobjects and a Unity Relay server... I have figured out how to create a server, and spawn a player... But my player's IK isn't connected to the controller input. I had the whole fullbody character working before, but just nog while using the MP

[prime wing]

Hello, I added a few unimportant lines in one of my scripts and since then when I press start, the game launches but the VR does not want to be transcribed in my vr headset

[prime wing]

Update : it's when with the line public PlayerInventory playerInventory; // Référence à PlayerInventory but I don't know why

[gloomy flame]

UPDATE: i found the issue

[buoyant jolt]

Also yes, lots of VR multiplayer, we don't use netcode though.

[gloomy flame]

What do you use?

[buoyant jolt]

Mostly photon, some mirror, some others (forge networking for example). Mostly photon unless its a non game.

[gloomy flame]

Ohh, i've never heard of that! But Netcode could still work right?

it's just a small 2 player coop game

[buoyant jolt]

I'm sure you could make it work

[gloomy flame]

Okay! 🙂

All the multiplayer frameworks are very similar in design

Hi, bit of an odd one query - Is anyone aware of any VR Controllers that work with Unity, without a VR headset?

[orchid jolt]

I wouldn't think so. I would say if you are going to buy controllers then just buy a headset with it. I don't know what your setup is like but you could probably get a used Quest 2 for like $100-$150.

[buoyant jolt]

It depends a lot on what you used for a framework. If it's OpenXR, you just need to get the OpenVR / SteamVR stuff running.

But yup, if you did everything right, you switch to windows / PC and do a build. Test it and make sure it works for the PCVR headsets you want to support and add the missing plugins if needed as you go

Also make sure to test the controllers and not just make sure the display works, SteamVR is fun

[buoyant jolt]

Only the vive / index, as you then have base stations. Quest controllers etc won't work as it needs the cameras from the headset for tracking.

And the headset for processing button presses

[buoyant jolt]

It's always better to use the lowest most optimized quality you can. Personally I delete all but three profiles. High (PCVR), Medium (Quest 2 / Pico 3) and low (Quest 1 / Pico 2).

That last one you can probably avoid.

But yes, I usually increase the LOD distances, textures etc. It depends a lot on the game though. Muffin Fight for example, we do some real dark magic to get it full FPS for Quest 1 (was an applab requirement for a long time). But it's probably not as necessary for a new project these days.

[summer saffron]

Is there a simple speech-to-text setup for Unity (Quest 2), without an always online AI model?
I did a little research into this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Windows.Speech.DictationRecognizer.html
However, this only works with Windows and I've had trouble with testing on the device in playmode.
There is this caveat on the document, which is the error I'm running into:
"Dictation recognizer is currently functional only on Windows 10, and requires that dictation is permitted in the user's Speech privacy policy (Settings->Privacy->Speech, inking & typing). If dictation is not enabled, DictationRecognizer will fail on Start. Developers can handle this failure in an app-specific way by providing a DictationError delegate and testing for SPERR_SPEECH_PRIVACY_POLICY_NOT_ACCEPTED (0x80045509)."

Is there a way around this (I couldn't find the Settings>Privacy>Speech) or do I have to use a 3rd party AI setup/model (like wit.ai, chatgpt, huggingface, etc...)?

[buoyant jolt]

We use another open source thing - can't find the link at the moment. But this one should work better
https://github.com/Babilinski/vosk-stt-unity

I'll try and find the one we use, as it is very decent and runs on ios as well.

[summer saffron]

Awesome, I'll check it out. Thank you

[arctic blade]

Is it me or is the meta documentation all over the place and makes 0 sense?

Yes you just have to use the right using unity.xr.somehting I forget.

[terse dagger]

hi all! i'm working with the XR Interaction Toolkit and running into an extremely frustrating bug. Doesn't seem to matter what I try, adding a Teleportation Area procedurally refuses to properly calculate and make available the assigned colliders for interaction. From what I can tell, it appears to have something to do with the Interaction Layer Mask not being respected. I've even tried saving the Teleportation Area component as its own prefab and no luck. The only way I can get it to work is if I, in Editor, assign a new Teleportation Area component to my spawned floor object and manually assign everything. Help? Surely this isn't how this is meant to work.

using the prefab method, I'm instantiating an instance of the TeleportationArea with all the right settings arleady good to go and then using code to dynamically refresh the colliders using the following method

        foreach (var target in targets.Where(target => target != null))
        {
            teleportationArea.colliders.AddRange(target.GetComponentsInChildren<Collider>());
        }```

in editor this works. i can see the colliders var on the teleportation area component updating... but i can't get the teleportation system to interact with any of them

and yet if i use the EXACT SAME THING on a Teleportation Area that I manually add and set all the values for, it works fine

SOLVED: for those who run into this... disabling and then re-enabling the component after every collider change gets it working. obviously there's some refresh function somewhere not getting called properly when editing the colliders list directly. Unity might want to take a look hint hint 🙏

If you use the standard URP Project Template and then add in the Samples data from the XR Interaction Toolkit, it will check all your project settings for you

just make sure you are using OpenXR

Steam and QuestLink support it fine

and thats with both controller and hand support! 🙂 (granted its only basic support but still!)

[frigid timber]

How can we add custom components to a room? I built the room. Now I want to put a small rectangular vent on the ground.

[frigid timber]

While I can create a 3d object, it seems invisible.

[buoyant jolt]

It's always good to know why settings exist, so it would be good to double check them. I've run our own and seen plenty of benchmarks that suggest URP actually runs worse on Vulcan than the built in pipeline. So I'd take the URP suggestion lightly personally. No post processing etc is important.

On the PCVR end, it's because SteamVR and Oculus Desktop etc all require a dedicated graphics card, and are usually a 960 or 1060, an i5 or i7 and windows OS as a minimum. Typically a game knowing it's not perfectly optimized will just blanket state a 1060 or i7 or higher. Typically steamVR won't even run if your systems not up to specifications.

PCVR has a lot more processing power than mobile

In a more practical sense, it also means what kind of PC you need in order to run VR from the editor as well.

[open mango]

Hey just wondering if there is a way to add gravity to a character that teleports instead of using the continuous movement

Nvm fixed!

[distant garden]

Can't find this VIVE XR Support Feature group section. What package do i need installed? Using unity 2022.3

[nimble bluff]

Hi hello

Does anyone ever just use direct video 360 as a VR scene?
literally the 360 video for the skybox sphere

does it make sense ? coz I plan to have an interaction on my VR

[real vector]

Is it possible to use Grab Interactable without a rigidbody? I want something that is static in the air to be able to grab, and be at the new position when letting go without any physics

[wise warren]

how easy is it gonna be to build a 2019 unity project to a meta quest 3?
Firstly looks like I need to uprade to unity 2022 at least and that's already bound to cause problems.
What are the best steps to take?

[soft summit]

Yeah that's simple enough, AVPro is a good plugin to use for the 360 video part too, they support spatial audio.

[soft summit]

Have you tried using a Rigidbody but disabling the 'Use Gravity' option?

[real vector]

Seems like the solution was disabling "Retain Transform Parent" in XR Grab interactable

And enable Kinematic

[soft summit]

Generally speaking it's best to use the latest LTS version of Unity, especially for newer hardware like the latest VR headsets. I'm pretty sure the XR Plug-in Management package only recently started supported the Meta Quest 3 as an officially supported build option, but I've built to Quest 3 with past versions of the package and it's worked fine for me.

[nimble bluff]

true
only one thing
does anyone ever put an interaction VR app but using a video for the environment

[nimble bluff]

I mean, let say I wanted to make a shooter VR game, with a video as the sphere skybox (video are playing forward)

[soft summit]

Yeah I think a lot of games do that actually

[narrow briar]

Hey guys, on Quest3 is there a way to turn off mic shutting off while the voice is a consant hummmm?

[open mango]

I'm having an issue with the climbing walls and ladders now. I am able to climb through the floor and it just drops me out of the world

[nimble bluff]

such as ?

[wintry geyser]

anyone know how to fix this?

[storm ether]

do you mind showing what the 3rd error says?, I'm not able to see it very well

[outer gull]

Try use Input Actions, if I remember correctly, XR interaction toolkit uses actions by default.

[wise warren]

Was that old version of the package also used in an old unity version?

[nimble bluff]

guys is it really there is a game using a video360 for it's environment ?

[deep pivot]

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

public class Fracture : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject fractured;

    public static InputFeatureUsage<bool> triggerButton;  //this?

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (triggerButton.  )  //y no work
        {
            Vector3 oldPos = transform.position;
            Instantiate(fractured, oldPos, Quaternion.identity);
        }

    }
}

how do i activate it when i use the vr controller trigger

[outer gull]

I suggest you take a look at this documentation and the samples in this toolkit. https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@2.5/manual/index.html

[storm ether]

hmm, I've never seen this issue before, at first I thought it was missing Gradle but that's not really what the error msgs say. do you have any out dated C# libraries that could be interfearing with the build?

[wintry geyser]

no

[storm ether]

then you might not have installed gradle correctly try reinstalling the android build support from Unity hub

[wintry geyser]

ok

[long fern]

Hey, anyone knows how should I make that button on controller do different things which depends on if player hold (select) something in that controller or not? Using XRI.

[buoyant jolt]

Yes of course. I believe someone said yes yesterday when you asked it earlier. We also do it a lot in our education VR clients as interactive mixed media

Also, just a mention for people on here as i see gorrilla tag clone questions a lot. Sidequest has stated they will no longer accept gorilla tag clones or similar.

[frank oasis]

Where was this announced? I swear the side quest discord server is down

Asking out of curiosity

[buoyant jolt]

Oh in the announcements in their discord

It doesn't impact me, but I thought people would want to know so they can ensure they differentiate enough to get approved

[orchid jolt]

This was announced in the sidequest developer discord not the other one FYI

Hi, I was trying to make MR game on Windows platform, but it says Quest features are only for Android. How can I make MR for PCVR? Should I avoid OVR Manager for cross platform? But XR toolkit doesn't have MR function.

[buoyant jolt]

What headset are you using that supports MR on windows standalone? If there is one, it should have a getting started document for it

If it's for the Quest im not sure thats reallt supported but https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/1734obo/mixed_reality_for_pcvr/

[ashen grotto]

Thanks for your reply! It seems PICO supports MR with PC, but Quest doesn't.....

[ashen grotto]

But he uses VD for MR on PCVR. Maybe I should try this way...?

Ah in that thread on Reddit same VD way is talked.

[ashen grotto]

Do you think VD is only way with Quest 3?

[north path]

You might be able to use it using Quest Link if the quest is in developer mode, like the hand tracking. Not sure tho

[wraith tangle]

Hi, im trying to boot my quest game, but when it starts it just shows a black screen and nothing else, if i enable the system splash screen on the oculus settings, it shows that but it doesnt even show the unity logo
how do i fix this??

[cold bobcat]

i had an issue with black screen which was caused by my hair blocking the sensor, so my headset didn't realise i was wearing it

hey guys, i'm using the Virtual Reality Toolkit (VRTK) and it seems like I can't add XR things because I need to 'convert main camera to xr rig'. but I can't because the VRTK HeadCamera from 'CameraRigs.UnityXRPluginFramework' has 'additional components that we do not recognize'. anyone had this issue?

[wraith tangle]

thats not it

[buoyant jolt]

Try turning off autographics settings and removing Vulcan. If it isn't reaching the splash then it's likely a packaging (I.e. manifest, etc) or rendering issue (vulcan not working).

You can pull the device logs to verify however

[warped hollow]

What do these icons mean above the cameras? I haven't seen them before, I am new to unity and this is my first project using the XR toolkit so I'm wondering if they are related to that

[lofty tangle]

its a camera icon

[willow venture]

Hello everybody,
I'm creating an .apk for Quest 2 and I added a 360 video with spatial sound. However, when playing the 360 video in the apk under Unity, the sound is not spatialized. Do you know if this is possible? (PS: The 360 video is playable with its spatialized sound in Youtube VR for example)

[wintry geyser]

i did that and it still happens

[storm ether]

this might be a issue with how Unity set this up, go to the location on your computer where you've installed Unity and find the folder with the version of Unity you're using from there go to Editor->Data->PlayBackEngines->AndroidPlayer->SDK->Build Tools and there you will see a folder with the version of Gradle you're using, so something like "32.0.0", open this folder and inside of it find the source.properties file, open this in a code editor and make sure to set pkg.revision to the name of the gradle version folder (ex: 32.0.0), reload Unity and this should fix your issue

[ashen grotto]

Yes, I'm using Quest link for pcvr, but I can not enable passthourgh from the pc in usual way.

Is anyone else having trouble with using XR in Unity 2023.2.7f1?

Every time I try to install XR Plugin Management I get an error, and it does not show up under the Project Settings.

Did they move the XR settings to another area? It seems to be installed, but no settings are available.

[astral ravine]

Looking for help with something... I'm working with the Unity XRI toolkit 2.5.2, it's come a long way in the past few years and the demo scenes are very helpful now. I tend to take examples and rework them to fit my needs. One thing I can't find anywhere is an example of the Unity XRI where the player remote-grabs an object and then keeps it in their hand while using the thumbstick to move. In this example I guess we're talking about the left hand which is Smooth Loco until you grab something, then just becomes a way to manipulate the held object. Anyone worked on this or have an example they can point me to? Thanks!

[nimble bluff]

can I see it ?

[buoyant jolt]

There isn't a lot to it to be honest. It's difficult to make it look good when meshing models with 360, even at 4k. It helps to use a sphere instead of a pano so you can touch the geometry (stops it from floating in the 360 space).

[tight geode]

Personally i had this issue when i was trying to build to quest in Unity 2023

Downgraded to Unity 2022 LTS and everything worked fine again

[small shell]

Good I have a question with the xr interaction toolkit and is that I am using the 2 hand grip on an object, but when releasing one hand the other moves automatically to the first position would there be any way to not move automatically ?

[viral blaze]

XR Interaction Toolkit issue/question:

I have a XR Grab Interactable object, attached to it are a collider(IsTrigger false) and rigidbody(gravity false, iskinematic true).
That's alone works great and the controllers can grab it.

I add a child GameObject to the grabbable object, and on it I have a collider with IsTrigger true. The GameObjects are in different layers, and the physics map set them to ignore each other.

But when the child GameObject is active, I can't grab the parent with the XR Controllers.
I tried to use "InteractionLayerSettings" as well, but I think that I didn't set them in the correct way.

[viral blaze]

I think I found the issue. Need to add the physics layer to the Interactors "Raycast Mask" / "Physics Layer Mask", very consistent 🙂

[flat mulch]

[tight geode]

like version?

just go for the latest LTS

[narrow briar]

[buoyant jolt]

If it's only Quest 2, the latest 2022 LTS is fairly stable

[narrow briar]

are there other stand alone VR systems?

[orchid jolt]

There is PICO headsets

[buoyant jolt]

Vive focus, Pico 3/4, Quest 2/3 are all pretty common still

Pico can come with eye tracking and easier to lock down. Quest does better hand tracking, but harder to kiosk. Focus is less common but also quite underrated.

thanks i'll look them up

it looks like everyone is scaling back VR product development

We are super lucky, but others not so much.

We've been fulltime VR for about 8 years now, and busy as can be. But always nervous there could be an Industry change.

what makes you successful? and why unity vs unreal?

i just started on a project that was made in unreal

and after a hard week of transition i went back to unity yesterday, it felt weird

[buoyant jolt]

I don't want to derail too much... or jinx us either :D. We are about 70/20/10 unity/Unreal/other. Unreal is very interesting, we have some local epic reps that are trying politely to swing studios over

I like how unity handles lower end devices, package sizes and customability better. But I like Unreal as a company ethically and morally better. And epic costs us nothing in fees comparably.

Unity competes with us locally for XR contracts too, so it's in my financial best interest to move clients away from unity

[buoyant jolt]

It depends on the headset and framework and framework version. OpenXR examples usually have ugly controllers already in their xr rig or instantiate them via their scripts. I think the default usually creates them in the touch interactor. Skim those scripts in the inspector, find the one with controllers that it instantiate, and remove the reference

But that only helps if you are using OpenXR

[narrow briar]

oh that's interesting! where are you? - just to a look: red iron labs canada

so i infer that you make vr experiences for companies

[flat mulch]

i am using openxr

but where would i find in inspector

i am kind of knew to all of this

I have some prefab files of left and right hands i want to use for this

and i found the model for the openxr controllers which is not a prefab file it is a .fbx file

[buoyant jolt]

Sometimes! We are about 50% internal stuff and 50% client stuff. It's helpful to have a balance 🙂 Especially with markets shifting so much - so medical does really well sometimes, then it may shift to education.

[buoyant jolt]

I don't rememebr the exact structure off-hand, but there is somewhere tht you will see (in the XR Rig prefab) the left an right hand. Under them should be a script somewhere that has the slots where the models are dropped into that you can remove them from

[flat mulch]

Okay , thankyou.

Ok news update. I figured out i can hold it but it is really janky and also is not being held right

i wanted it to replace the hand

when u grab

but i think the reason is that when i do grab it i have these weird 3d model hands i found on the internet that have animations

idk how to fix

[frank oasis]

Make an attach transform

Internet should say what that is

[flat mulch]

do u know how i can check for if my hand is currently holding an specific (in a script) XR Gr#abbable object

[flat mulch]

alrighty nvm i dont need help with that however i changed it so when you grab an object your hands disappear but it has not disappeared.

I'm trying to follow the below tutorial but having issues. I'm able to get the poke intractable to register at the points where they are supposed to, but the plane that is created isn't being "clipped" so I can interact on the entire plane, not just where the cube is. Unfortunately there has been an update to the meta interaction sdk, so most tutorials I'm finding are old.

So can any of you help me if I give him my .vrm file in mp?

I'm not able to add the script as a component for a GameObject for rendering streamlining. Can anyone help me with this?

[frigid timber]

Hello @buoyant jolt , now the room is ready but can you briefly guide me about the airflows/streamlines? I'm starting with one streamline and I have its information in a csv file.

anyone run into this error with a Quest?[XRInputSubsystem] A device disconnection with the id 0 has been reported but no device with that id was connected. It usually proceeds this XR Management has already initialized an active loader in this scene. Please make sure to stop all subsystems and deinitialize the active loader before initializing a new one.

I'm not sure I can help much more than that. I'd have to actually work on the project for a day or two in order to get it completed and working right. But personally, I'd use the particle system to either generate particles according to the CSV. Or I'd convert the CSV to a model or point cloud, and animate it that way using the particle system. Or even convert it to a mesh - which can also be used with a particle system To actually sit and code that and do that would take me a day or two.

I've had a lot of success in VR using this when doing particle and imaginary systems:

hi, i have a camera tat outputs to a render texture and projects it back to another camera (for shader purposes) i assume that this isnt the best for vr, so, how can i change it so i still have my shaders and not use render textures

How do you set refresh rate on oculus? I try this API but it does nothing.

The OVR one worked, but the meta package has so many bugs. Does this unity.xr one just not work? whats the point of its existance?

[plain sigil]

anyone got any experience with Meta XR? I tried setting up on my Apple M1 with 2023.3 and I just get the following
Exception: Cannot include plugin 'Packages/com.meta.xr.sdk.interaction/Runtime/Plugins/Win32/InteractionSdk.dll' (Key: interactionsdk.dll;None) since plugin with the same name and architecture was already added ('Packages/com.meta.xr.sdk.interaction/Runtime/Plugins/

While building an error appears that says "Gradle build failed. See console for details."
On google it didn't show my problem when I searched it.
I tried fixing it myself but it didn't work.

Hey guys. I am trying to run a .exe file and do all the computation on the PC and use my Quest 2 simply as a monitor where no computing happens on the headset. The reason for this is that I'm trying to run a package in Unity that requires DX12 and the Quest 2 supports DX 11. I am curious to know what the best way to do this is, there are so many packages.

Currently I am trying to use XR Management Toolkit and Open XR, does that sound like it would work the way I need it to?

[white flicker]

download the quest software on pc, connect ur quest to the pc and run the game

u can connect it with the charging cable

thats what im doing at least

[tiny terrace]

Hey, does anybody know what Interactable Event tells you when you ungrab from something

[tiny terrace]

Can you show that bottom console log? That says about 3 errors

[snow bolt]

are you running Unity games that you've made? I'm curious what VR SDK will work as PCVR + Quest 2

The unity project itself is set to DX12 and we're running a plugin that requires that, I used XR Plugin Management and XR Toolkit as well as Open XR. The plugin runs and looks fine in the editor but when we use the link cable and play mode the scene is black. I know the Quest runs DX 11 but my understanding is that when it's running off the PC it is essentially just a monitor that transmits position and rotation data.

Is there a reason why DX12 wouldnt work on the Quest2 when it's running off an exe on my pc with link cable?

Also when I make the vr build and run it with link the headset doesn't recognize it, just shows the desktop with the exe as a window. Any ideas?

[wintry geyser]

will you be on in around 11 hours or is it daytime for you?

cause i got school tomorrow

so im not on my pc

[tiny terrace]

No I won’t be able to help at that time

[wintry geyser]

damn

[white flicker]

yeah, from the editor

[white flicker]

i just got into vr dev so idk what any of this means

sorry

[snow bolt]

No worries

Hello everyone. I was just wondering if anyone knew why when i set my hands to disappear when you grab something it did not work.

[buoyant jolt]

Any steam or oculus friendly PCVR framework should be usable via link. OpenXR, SteamVR, Oculus integration etc. Any VR framework should also support PCVR. Provided your computer meets the requirements for it of course.

It just converts it to an Oculus Rift S more or less, so yes directx 12 will not be a problem.

[buoyant jolt]

Keeping in mind this will make a lot of players sick, the same way you would any unity player outside of VR, just apply the movements to the VR Rig

Hi, I have a 3D model of a scanned room I have access to and wondering if there is anyway of anchoring the virtual scanned world to the real world so everything is in same place, there is no camera/ar capabilities on the vr headset.

I was thinking of making it so you have to click on a few real locations with controllers to try and align like that but wondering if there is a better solution.
Not started the project yet just planning
Many thanks for any suggestions ❤️

[storm ether]

do you guys think i would need joints for a custom grabbing script i may wanna make in the near future

like inside of the script, joints i code myself

and i can add Objects and Snap Points within those objects that include Position and Rotation Offset for each one, and a custom pose for those points too

but since i dont know C# yet i would need to learn

[white flicker]

does the headset have 6dof

if yes then i think clicking on real life anchors is the best

if no then i dont think its possible

[slate osprey]

Yeah it's a steam vr 6dof capable headset, I will be trying it by clicking in reality to set anchors unless someone knows of a better way 🥲

[tight geode]

Doesn't seem like an issue related to #🥽┃virtual-reality

[flat mulch]

oh yea sry forgot

it is just a vr game

where should i post @tight geode

[frigid timber]

Thanks. Now, when I sync the script with the game object after rendering the line, I get this error.

[frigid timber]

I'm trying to sync csvData script

[buoyant jolt]

Thats a problem with your script, it's a general coding problem at that point

Most likely your class name and filename don't match

And it won't be fixed until you fix the other error in your console. This is all pretty standard #💻┃code-beginner !learn stuff though and just figuring out how unity likes to compile and naming of scripts. You can probably get faster help in the general community for that stuff

Thank youu

[wintry geyser]

here they rae this was the best time i could send with you being close to on

[tiny terrace]

This one

[wintry geyser]

does anyone else know?

that is online?

[buoyant jolt]

Scroll down. It days there are three errors. Until you show the actual error no one can help you

A grade error means it failed to compile. The why is embedded in those error messages. You need to look through them to find the actual error. It'll usually be because of an SDK version, signing key missing, broken gradle version etc. But until you show the actual errors in there (and it says there will be three) it's impossible to help

But based on the top error, it looks like you need to accept android licensing terms, which you can't do very easily via unity

But that's a guess until you look at the actual errors unfortunately

[wintry geyser]

for the one above youre reply that is all i cant scroll down in that error

this for the other one

and the other

the JAVA_TOOL one is the same as the CommandInvokation

i have to go but i will still talk just cant send screenshots

[tiny terrace]

As I understood it fails to install Android SDK
