@wintry geyser Go to Project Settings -> Other -> Scroll down and choose Android SDK Version 32 because I assume that you making a build for Meta AppLab

That should help

[wintry geyser]

Thx I'll try tomorrow morning

[buoyant jolt]

That's the one. As mentioned above, it's failing to install SDK 30. You must use 32 for Quest and over 32 for Google Play, so it is for the better anyway. Personally I like to install android studio and manually manage my SDK versions. But as mentioned above you can change it to 32 in Unity first and hope it will install properly.

[wintry geyser]

Thx so much if it keeps happening ill tell you guys tomorrow

[buoyant jolt]

If it happens tomorrow I'll walk you through managing the SDKs manually (outside of unity)

Hi, how do detect which hand (right or left) is interacting with an Interactable? Can I somehow possibly get which hand is interacting from event args? (SelectExited)

I’m using XR Interaction Toolkit

[tiny niche]

not without modifying it, its one of the major drawbacks of using it

[tiny terrace]

How would you modify it? Do you know anyone who done it?

[tiny niche]

lots of people have done it, you basically just need to expose some private members on the interactor

[tiny terrace]

Thanks will try

Hello,
Is there an howto on settings for quest2&3 because i can see a massive difference of resolution between start with the editor on pc and the final apk.
If i could detect if the device is a quest 2 or 3 and adapt the resolution and settings to would be perfect.

[sleek heath]

If I use an avatar that's synced with the XR Origin main camera, should I add the colliders/rigidbody for detecting walls and such to the main camera too? Or is it only the avatar that needs need them?

[wintry geyser]

i dont see an other place in project settings

[orchid jolt]

It's in Project Settings -> Player -> Other Settings -> Minimum API level. Set that to 32

its already at marshmallow

turns out i changed it from marshmallow to the 32 one cause mashmallow was 23 and IT FIXED

[OCULUS META QUEST]

Hi guys, I need a little help, I'm developing a vr game in unity and I need to only rotate an object on his Y axis using hand or grab control. How I can do this?
At the moment the object have the grabbable component and his rigidbody is setted like this:

isKinematic = true
contraints : locked movements (x,y,z) locked rotations(x,z)

When i interact/grab with controller, it follow the hand movement.

[tiny terrace]

Hi. Which ones? Have you done it by any chance?

[tiny niche]

the one that exposes the grabbed gameobject, so you can query for it from root to tip

[dull lake]

Guys my device simulator just gives me a black screen and idk what to do

[tiny terrace]

"Expose some private variables on the interactor" you mean XRDirectInteractor?

Could you please tell me what variable please?

[tiny niche]

no because then i'd have to look it up. But you know conceptually what you want to do and where to direct your attention, so now you just gotta do the actual dev work

[tiny terrace]

Im just having a hard time finding it lol

[fervent sedge]

does not use OpenXR ARCore in the lower layer?

is it the OS that prevents us from reaching native funcitons of android?

[buoyant jolt]

I don't understand the question. Quest and Pico don't use arcore.

If anything @fervent sedge - Pico makes it easier go access the underlaying Android as it includes many example libraries to access lower functions normally blocked by Android

Quest is of course more locked down.

[sterile hatch]

HI i have silly questions
So I'm new to coding (especially in VR stuff but i have to work on something VR related, soo, yep c:) and I'm struggeling with something. So I'm having a fire extinguisher and i want to have two grabable parts on that extinguisher: The corpus and the ... spraying part. I want to hold the fire extinguisher on the corpus and then have the chance to grab the sprayer part and after i'm holding it, i want to fire a particle system.
Two questions:

• How do i make one object, that's grabable at different parts of the same object, while also limiting the user to firstly grab the corpus
• I'm not sure what code signefies that I'm "holding" something. In 2D e.g. there's the "interaction", "onkeydown" code, but what's there for VR?

Thank you in advance

[buoyant jolt]

Sounds like a client project. Where you grab, and what you grab, doesn't literally have to be the model. How you want the two parts to work depends on a lot of things, but you could make two objects with rigidbodies that can be grabbed and carried, and create a hose / rope / joint system between them

[sterile hatch]

It's a student project! Basically a first touch in VR and we're trying to simulate how to behave when there's a fire

[sterile hatch]

That sounds like an interessting idea

actually good call I'll try smth like that

[buoyant jolt]

Also, as a side mention, most VR frameworks will temporarily reparent what you carry to your hands.

We've done a lot of fire VR work. I usually keep a Base -> hose -> Nozzle relationship, with a rig for the hose. That'll let you deform the hose while keeping a nozzle always at the end of it.

But you could actually make them three completely separate projects and just move them manually to keep them in sync.

I don't like to use literal rope and hose physics and instead fake it. That way it can't get kinked funny or stretched beyond reason

[sterile hatch]

oh that's good to know

wait uhm righ for the hose?

wdym by that?

like "bone" rig?

(sry language barriers)

[buoyant jolt]

Yes

[junior quest]

By using "Rigid body", "Grabbable", "HandGrabInteractable" to an object, I can grab an object. However when I grab that object, it keep accelerate the speed by gravity. How to fix it?

I am using Oculus Integration https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/oculus-integration-deprecated-82022

[compact gazelle]

What i have to do to solve this problem?

[buoyant jolt]

Most likely just press Fix or pick a proper build target (I.e. android)

[compact gazelle]

i tryed to press fix but it doesn't work

[buoyant jolt]

Oculus only supports Android or Windows iirc.

[compact gazelle]

i also selected a proper build target

[buoyant jolt]

If you disagree with the wizard you can ignore it and close it.

Its just a helper wizard to avoid common issues.

But if it is correct and you have an invalid build target you won't be able to build the project. I suspect you aren't on a proper android or windows build target. But you'll find out when you go to build the game

[compact gazelle]

i can not build the game indeed

i am building the game for android,i always did like it and it always worked

it is the first time it happens

if you want i can send you a video cause i really don't understand how to solve the problem

[buoyant jolt]

When you go File -> Build, take a screenshot of the platform window

If you can

It doesn't detect you as using Android, and instead says Unknown, which is quite unusual.

But I don't build direct for oculus (I.e. oculus integration) very often as we use openxr.

[buoyant jolt]

Try switching to windows, let it compile, and see if the error goes away. Then go back to androjd.

[compact gazelle]

same error i tryed

[buoyant jolt]

Do you have the error from the console log or anything from when you try to build?

[compact gazelle]

build error

but nothing that can break the build

[buoyant jolt]

Last thing I can think of is to check the steps here

https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Unity-VR-Development/Compatibility-Build-Target-Unknown-is-not-supported-SOLVED/td-p/1093091

[compact gazelle]

i read it but i build the game using OpenXr

[buoyant jolt]

Ah doesn't look good
https://forum.unity.com/threads/compatibility-build-target-unknown-is-not-supported-bug.1506476/

Unity replicated it about 3 weeks ago and are getting Meta to fix their sdk

[compact gazelle]

so there is no solution?

[buoyant jolt]

I'm not sure what error you are seeing building, that might be resolvable. To get the SDK to work properly here, you'd need to move it into your project and patch the code temporarily. Just not sure that it is actually breaking the builds, it's usually just a wizard.

[compact gazelle]

the error i am seeing is exacly for this problem

[buoyant jolt]

I can't see the error or the code for the plugin, so I don't think i can help beyond this point

[crystal axle]

I am using the xr interaction toolkit to grab and handle this weapon but sadly it happens to lag behind when I move, smoothing the position does not help and the rigidbody is already interpolating the movement. What causes this problem?

[lofty tangle]

its could be that the object is moving in fixed update, while the player is moving in update.
or the object position is updating before the player movement cause a disconnect/lag effect.

a fix could be just ensuring that the target position of the object is updated after the player movement.

@crystal axle

[crystal axle]

yea i tried setting the fixed timestep to 0.001 but still it stutters a little bit

[crystal axle]

I have no idea how i could implement this lol

[narrow briar]

looks like you're moving the player in update and the gun with physics

[crystal axle]

I am :(

but I got on thing id like to know

whats the correct spelling to make it first/last select

[buoyant horizon]

I'm trying to build a very simple test project for VisionOS and I keep getting this error Anyone else had this or know how to fix it?

[narrow briar]

yeah you want to be careful with that. once the gun is in-hand it's usually a good idea to kinematic=true its rigidbody then parent it to your hand controller.

[warped hollow]

I am trying to use unity and the XR interaction toolkit to set up a research experiment.
I am struggling to find easy to understand documentation on extremely basic actions like detecting a button press.

Please can someone explain how to detect if a user presses the A button on an oculus controller.

[lofty tangle]

if you know the “new” input system, use set up the xr inputs which are featured in a lot of tutorials.
or using device based you define an xr device based on node or characteristics then define the input var you want on said device. its pretty simple that way and is the way I prefer for prototyping so I dont have to bother setting up the new inout system.

[warped hollow]

I don't understand what any of that means.

[buoyant jolt]

It might be good to start with !learn

[buoyant jolt]

But thus may also help in the meantime

https://forum.unity.com/threads/oculus-quest-how-to-detect-a-b-x-y-button-presses.1108232/

[warped hollow]

I've not completely skipped reading forum posts. The stuff featured in that post isn't visible in my setup

[lofty tangle]

also there are several youtube tutorials that show you how to set up unity for vr

[buoyant jolt]

We use a heavily modified version of this for openxr. The link above is for using the new input system and oculus.

if(UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.RightHand).TryGetFeatureValue(new ("TriggerTouch"), out value))
{
    hand.triggerTouch = value;
}```

Where trigger touch is the input you are looking for.

[buoyant jolt]

I also saw you sent me a friend request, I don't believe we know eachother?

[warped hollow]

That was because I scrolled up to find someone who looked like they knew stuff about the XR toolkit

[buoyant jolt]

But yeah
GetDeviceAtXRNode is what you can use to get a controller. And from there you can check the button states. Assuming you are using OpenXR

[warped hollow]

I don't know what I'm using, I clicked the VR template that came with two scenes

[buoyant jolt]

This is a more proper way, imo
https://gist.github.com/gizmhail/9b4fba98fa9c2c78e63fe581d360a294

[warped hollow]

Ok well I'm 99% of the way towards finishing the setup for my experiment, it has worked fine for me

I just need to try what you said in order to let a user do something when they press a button

I tried to make the same thing work by detecting if the experimenter presses the spacebar but I got an error saying it's one or the other, controller or keyboard, no both

[buoyant jolt]

And this is a list of what you can query from that. You probably want PrimaryButton

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/XR.CommonUsages.html

[warped hollow]

I've been on what feels like 20 different pages all describing the same unity XR thing that look like that

[buoyant jolt]

You can intermix desktop input (I.e. enter key) and VR input. But I'd use VR input or at the very least use hand tracking and put a button in the world they can press

[warped hollow]

Doing that would require me to learn a lot more about unity in general, I don't have the time

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, it's because Unity created a very awkward new input system for new users and makes it very difficult to detect something like a button press out of the box, versus say tracking a head position

[warped hollow]

It has been astonashing

Like, to detect if a user presses the spacebar it was just like getinput "space"or something

but then to detect controller input I still don't even know what to do after you gave me what was probably a copy paste solution

[buoyant jolt]

Well, I have even less available time than you do, and I definitely am not stopping my evening to write it for you.

The code above shows you how to check for a button pressed.

Sorry you feel that is too copy pasted for your wishes

[warped hollow]

No that's not what I was suggesting

Thank you for being so patient and not just kicking me out

[buoyant jolt]

I would never, and don't have access to that kind of thing anyway

[warped hollow]

I meant copy paste as in you were already spoon-feeding me an answer

[buoyant jolt]

I'm sure there easier ways, but I dont use the new input manager very often.

[warped hollow]

I will try your suggestion

[buoyant jolt]

OK, give this a go. Create a new script called XRButtonSelected.cs (name and capitalization is important). In there, use this:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.XR;
using UnityEngine.Events;

public class XRButtonSelected : MonoBehaviour
{
    // target device
    public XRNode Hand = XRNode.RightHand;
    // what to do when pressed
    public UnityEvent OnButtonPressed, OnButtonReleased;
    // is it pressed?
    public bool IsPressed = false;

    // check for input
    void Update()
    {
        // controller to check
        var device = UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(Hand);
        // a C# thing to create a temp boolean
        bool value;
        // button to check
        if (device.TryGetFeatureValue(CommonUsages.primaryButton, out value))
        {
            Debug.Log("Button pressed: " + value);
            if (value != IsPressed)
            {
                if (value)
                    OnButtonPressed.Invoke();
                else
                    OnButtonReleased.Invoke();
                IsPressed = value;
            }
        }
    }
}```
Add that to anything, probably the controller in the XR Rig would be good.  It should give you three options, what controller to listen to, what to do when the button is pressed, and what to do when it is released.

[buoyant jolt]

Hopefully that'll work for you. You can then do whatever you want in the UnityEvent when the button changes to pressed or released

[warped hollow]

and I definitely am not stopping my evening to write it for you

Thank you so much for all of this help lloyd, if I can't get this to work now then I have no brain.

[buoyant jolt]

No, I want to encourage and support. Accessing the input is far more difficult than it should be in my personal opinion

[warped hollow]

I have been able to do exactly what I wanted to now thank you

[buoyant jolt]

Success!

[torn rain]

Hello, I am working on creating an Oculus VR game using Auto Hand and VRIK. Due to the use of a custom Rig (full body), implementing grab hands has been challenging. I've searched official documentation and YouTube, but they recommend using the OVR Hand Player Controller Link. However, I eventually want to expand this game to platforms like SteamVR or Vive VR. Is there a way to apply grab functionality to the custom Rig (full body) without using the OVR Hand Player Controller Link?

Can anyone help me? I'm doing a project using Quest 2 in unity and I'm using hand tracker 2 in unity. I want to pick up an object and not let it pass other objects

ex: I took the book and didn't pass the book from the table and it collided with it but didn't pass

Does anyone know how to do it? to help me please?

[buoyant jolt]

• Send unsolicited private messages to anyone.
• @ or reply to people not in the conversation. Use common sense here, please.```

How I would handle it, is I'd keep the book as a separate unparented to the hand object. Have it move towards a carried target using a rigidbody. That'll stop it from moving through objects and allow you to use gravity enabled rigidbodies without lag or bouncing.

I'm sure there are a lot of other ways to do that too though. Just keep in mind the XR Interaction stuff disables the rigidbody and parents the object to irself when you pick something up

[obtuse cargo]

Sorry, I didn't know you could send private messages.

How can I do this? To grab the object I'm using the "Grabbable" which is already from Oculus, using Hand Tracking 2, it directly manipulates the position of the object's transform

[buoyant jolt]

Correct, if using the XR Toolkit and not wanting to alter it, I'd keep the grabbale and the actual object separate. And have the object use a rigid body to move towards the grabbable or even joint connect it.

But with the default framework, whatever you pickup will follow the hand. So use it as a target destination, not the actual object itself.

[jagged badge]

I tried but that doesn't seem to be the issue

oh wait, I scrolled further down and found the answer. I had the Game tab behind the console tab and for what ever reason unity doesn't like that. as soon as i moved the Game tab up back by the scene it stopped spamming. Thanks fro the help @buoyant jolt!

Only the new branch, until you commit your packages.json, and then push it back to main. Everyone else needs to pull it into their branches for it to take effect.

[narrow briar]

do you render the points with GL calls?

[buoyant jolt]

No

[narrow briar]

how?

[buoyant jolt]

We support a bunch of methods, but most of the time we use a shader I drafted up about 6 years back

That makes it easier for us to bring in a lot of the potree rendering methods I liked

We don't really use it a lot though. We moved away from that back when the Quest 1 came out, and only rarely use it these days

Digital twins are exciting, but it can be hard to find a meaningful purpose for them. Compared to say, medical or education training

Not saying it's bad or not worth it. Just that we didn't get a lot of need for it in our space.

But yeah, we use a shader for the rendering for the most part. These days I'd probably look at GL calls and look at their performance closely

After some experimentation though, you'll end up with a bunch of methods you can toggle between depending on the project. My fav one uses the new VFX engine, and let's you do some really fun stuff

[narrow briar]

I didn't know you could draw points with z-depth in a shader in Unity, I thought z-depth was out of reach but I think it's because I've used shader graph for too long and how limited it is.

That's nice to know that vfx graph is performant

what are digital twins?

[onyx stream]

are there any tutorials for using xr interaction and xr hands?

the documentation seems to be lackluster

for vision pro

[wooden canyon]

Hello,
I‘m trying to create a Meta Quest 2 App using 360 Degree stereoscopic video.
Meta advises max 5760x5760 and 60mbits.
But this resolution doesn’t work 😦 h.265 Donsnt work hower.

H.264 does work with 30mbit and max 3k resolution:( this is not sharpen enough
4K is extrem laggy with 15mbit also 😭
Does anybody has got an hint to me?

[broken vine]

does anyone know how to make it so when i grab an object with xr grab interactable it stays grabbed on the spot i grabbed it? and also how to make it so it doesn’t lag behind the hand

i looked at the xr grab interactable docs but couldn’t find anything about it

[buoyant jolt]

It depends in part on what unity video player you are using, as it changes the format when you build the project. We record in 8k, and mix down to 4k for Quest standalone builds.

[wooden canyon]

Which Player do you prefer?

[buoyant jolt]

It's a long story, we kind of merged a studio that was very 360 heavy into us. They used AV Pro I believe.

But they moved to our tooling, and I use Unitys built in video player. We also need the builds to work on VR, web and desktop.

The reason I mention it is more because Unity will compress the video if you use their video player and if you bring it in as an asset. So you need to check the settings of the imported video file.

If you aren't doing that though and streaming it in over the web, it's more sensitive as it can't transcode it that way

[wooden canyon]

We put the Video inside of obb 🤔

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, so in that case it's probably being also transcoded by unity. Which may be why it's slowing down and acting funny

[buoyant jolt]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-VideoClip.html

I just mention it to double check the settings there, as it can change the speed and quality after building it

Long story short: use the high quality video that's running slow. But check transcode, set it to the target resolution, and see if unity can transcode it properly for you.

[wooden canyon]

Which Bitrate do you prefer? 🤔

[buoyant jolt]

Checking now my last 4 were 80 adaptive for youtube, 25 adaptive for the VR experience. That's about as low as I can go before it gets too many artifacts for me. 30fps and 4096x2048 (compressed down from 8k - insta pro 2). I need to add here though, I'm not a video guy. So there are probably better and more accurate ways to do it

For Unity, we are a bit different though. It gets sliced into small parts, and voice overs / some digital overlays are separated. We need that for translations and to let the user guide themselves through the location

I should mention, the project I'm on right now is 11x 360 videos in a single experience (different energy sites). So getting it to a comfortable package size is a bit more challenging

For the fire dept, I just did a single video, so we kept it at 80 adaptive and a single video file.

[stable mason]

Hello. I am using CardboardVR to make a simple HelloWorld game. When I add the Tracked Pose Driver to the camera the phone's rotation does get captured, however the camera "falls" to the floor. If I disable the component it works as intended. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong/where I can find some more info regarding this?

This seems to happen only on the phone, running the game in Unity works fine

derp... turns out I had the tracking type to rotation and position. Setting it to rotation only fixed the issue

[wooden canyon]

Okay. For Stereo i Need 1x1 Resolution. I tried 4682x4682 at 30 Mbit (h.264 and h.265) Both didn‘t work 😦

[narrow briar]

video was so glitchy and not working when using timeline in 2020.1.17. i couldn't even load scene async while playing video. which version of unity do you use for video?

[buoyant jolt]

I'd try 4096x4096 @ 80 Mbit adaptive, nice square 4K to MP4 as h264 if h265 can be avoided. You need upper and lower equals for the stereo so that makes sense.

If that video fails to be decent in the experience (I.e. choppy, slow) I'd let unity transcode it (so it fixes the codec to what android likes) and try again.

It's probably related to trying to how the stereo file is being played though. Not sure what you are using for stereo rendering, but it may be rending the video out to two separate images, and may be related to gpu image limits. 4k seems safer but it's just a guess

We aren't doing it in stereo, as I have a smaller insta 360 x3 or whatever that we stick on drones and vehicles and other spaces we need a smaller camera, and it's a single view

Our current project has a bunchnof existing 360s we need to merge with though, so there is that limit in mind too

[white flicker]

whats the best multiplayer solution for quest vr?

not necessarly the best, just one that has a lot of stuff already set up so theres no need to do things from scratch

and also i wont need to sync complcated stuff (just grabbing objects, a few variable syncs, player movement, enemy location, player states (flashlight on/off))

[fiery pecan]

cool thanks for the link! however I dont think that has the details for what I'm looking for

[fiery pecan]

My specific question is what I initially asked, which was - How do I convert a VRChat world that I made in Unity with Creator Companion into a standalone VR or 3D game that can run outside of VRchat?

Any help or insights would be much appreciated

[buoyant jolt]

Yup, and my advice is to learn how to take imported 3D models and turn it into a VR experience by following VR tutorials

Getting help on a discord isn't a replacement for learning. You pass the burden of not doing the work on everyone else.

When you've taken the tutorials, tried your best, and can't figure out a specific problem (I.e. teleportation isn't working), I'm sure people would be happy to help

If you want help with using VRchat tools, and don't want to use youtube, then I'd suggest !vrchat but I have no idea what they will or won't help with

Hm you assume I haven't "done the work", and I don't appreciate the condescension. I'm an audio/video/fx production professional who went back to school specifically to learn game dev, and also proactively watch a lot of tutorials on my own as I progress in the craft
This channel literally says "Ask questions and discuss anything related to virtual reality" but asking a question is a "burden to everyone else"?
It seems that you either didn't really read my previous question or you don't understand it, but thanks anyway for the reply...

My question isn't "How do I make a VR game?" and btw i.e. I'm familiar with how to implement teleportation
I'm asking about a specific situation - Such as, is it even possible to convert a project built to run in VRChat into a standalone game level in a way that makes more sense than starting from scratch with a completely new project file?
Or would it be less complicated to start from scratch?
Has anyone here actually tried converting Udon scripts into C#, and did that work or did it break the game?
What other things might I need to consider if I try to convert a project that is using VRChat SDKs to successfully run the game independent of VRChat?
etc

In that case, !learn is a good spot to start. And to test on the headset quickly, you'll need a Windows PC or laptop that can run VR.

[small folio]

i want to make a head flashlight for my vr game
which i can turn on and off by clickng "B" Button On Oculus right controller help

[crude frost]

Greetings. Our project was originally using the Oculus plugin, in XR Plugin Management.
We used Oculus.Platform to handle Oculus authentication.

But, we recently switched to OpenXR plugin so we can use the Passthru capabilities of the Open XR Meta Quest feature group.

But, now it seems, Oculus Auth no longer works on builds due to this switch.

I get the following errors from Android Logcat:

2024/02/11 12:56:38.656 23146 23167 Error Unity OculusAuth:OnUserProofCallback(Message`1)

2024/02/11 12:56:38.656 23146 23167 Error Unity Oculus.Platform.Callback:HandleMessage(Message)

2024/02/11 12:56:38.656 23146 23167 Error Unity Oculus.Platform.Callback:RunCallbacks()

Also, unrelated, how can i TrySetRefreshRate of the Oculus Headset when using OpenXR, and also FFR? As my code setting those no longer works after switching to OpenXR.

[buoyant jolt]

You can use something like this, and just tie it into turning a light on and off.

Actually, this is a lot better, as it'll let you tie unity events to a button. You'll need to change it away from trigger though

[narrow briar]

i'd like to hear more why you use photon. i've used it on one project back in the days when it was the only decent offering

[buoyant jolt]

Hah well, the answer is lackluster. It's convenient for us. Unity services are a no go, I've had them accidentally disable our organization before, and the last thing I want is all our multilayer players to lose access because of another unity fubar. There is mirror, but I don't think it does match making very easily. There are a few others but the tutorials are not great. So we stick to photon for games, and I can't remember what we use for non games, some weird framework no one else uses I'm sure

But it's been ages since we evaluated anything. I'm curious what you end up going with

[narrow briar]

haha that was our reason too. photon costs, though. did you ever try valve multiplayer? i think it's free

[buoyant jolt]

Not yet! But we are in a good spot, so paying for photons not really a problem. I may swallow those words if one of our games takes off this year though hah

Valve would be interesting

Our next project is in Unreal though, so probably end up using that anyway

[narrow briar]

VR too? Why Unreal.

I'm porting over an old and simple STU to unreal 5.3.2

unreal deploy to non PC seems more complicated, especially consoles

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, I'm hoping to get us off Unity if I can. It's a long process though, we do ~12 client projects a month. So it's not an easy task

This one is for a brain injury non profit at an anime event. So perfect for a small unreal project:)

Our sister studio just had a positive experience testing their last unreal VR project with the air force after a long run of unity projects, and we've done a few that looked great. So time to start pushing for it 🙂

[narrow briar]

nice! I was impressed by how coherent the editor was.

[narrow briar]

do you deploy to other devices besides quest and PC?

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah we are all over. Right now for open projects we have an AR book (elder), 2x event VR experiences (energy), 4x 360 VR videos (energy), 2x VR tours (energy), 2x VR mini games (energy comp), 1x Chromebook edu game (school), 4x 360 for Web videos (energy comp), 2x PC software modules (hospital), 2x Pico VR modes (fire dept), 1x VR game (pc/pico/quest), 1x VR game port (PSVR2)... most of which is almost done and due at the end of March

To be fair though, a big part of that is a huge energy project wrapping up. So it's an abnormal amount of modules

But I'd say we are primarily VR, and it's those two upcoming events VR modules I want to see if we can swing them to Unreal. We usually always have one or two unreal projects on the go, but this'll be the first two this year

[narrow briar]

that's a lot of different hardware

how does unreal compare? and in term of ease of output?

i'm pushing some crazy vfx with niagara but my experience from a few years ago was that it chokes on a hundred characters so i'm not sure on its performance compared to unity

[idle olive]

Does anyone know how to fix this issue where I can see my whole player model in scene but in the game I can see my face textures and not my arms or hands?

[buoyant jolt]

1, because you can install a game from the templates. But 11 because it most certainly doesn't do what you want.

You want to have a solid understanding of Unity, of Mobile and of Android. As in understanding adb, manifest files, world space UI, rigidbodies, texture and mesh optimizing, light baking etc. Without a good understanding of those, it can completely stop your work when you hit issues.

[manic saffron]

Hey guys, I have an additional camera attached to moving object whose texture I have rendered on another surface like a TV screen. Now I want to move the camera 90° left or right based on user's input(for oculus). But so far I've been unsuccessful. I've used LookAt() function and I believe if this controls the camera then I cannot translate the camera anymore later on? Would this be the problem? Edit: Spelling

[manic saffron]

I used RotateAround() and it works 🙂

[compact gazelle]

Hi guys,i would grab an object but i don't want that follows my hands in the y axis,is there a way to do it?

[waxen heath]

bro ive tried everything and my game still has errors and i cant build it

[astral ravine]

Depends so much if you are starting from scratch, now much coding you've done, how much experience you have, and how much "new stuff" is in your game. If you're willing to take an interaction toolkit off the Asset Store - say, VRIF - then the demo scenes are enough to get you started with a shooter. If you prefer to use the Unity native framework, take a look at the XRI demos here:
https://blog.unity.com/engine-platform/whats-new-in-xr-interaction-toolkit-2-3

So I'd say if you've already made a non-VR game in Unity, then making a VR game is 3 out of 10. If you've never made a game at all on any platform then yes it's an 11

[astral ravine]

Are you talking about a 3D slider? Which toolkit are you using? Have you tried constraining the RigidBody to not allow y-axis movement?

[compact gazelle]

XrToolkit,yes i tryed to not allow y axis in the rigid body but doesn’t work

Maybe I found a solution,tomorrow I will try

[astral ravine]

@mint did you solve this problem? I can probably help if not

[broken vine]

i did! thank you

[frank oasis]

Have you tried upgrading to more recent Unity version? Got the most recent oculus core package? Is your android SDK up to date? (idk how much of “everything” you’ve tried, but a little more info would be nice)

[astral ravine]

True if building for Oculus and want to deploy to Quest via App Lab or Quest Store. If you want to build "a VR game" and deploy to PCVR then it's a lot less complicated (and you will care less about performance because you're not trying to optimize for mobile-grade CPUs like in the Quest)

[onyx stream]

seems like when i put a tracked pose driver on camera, I can't manually move the position of the camera with code (it'll move it but move it back all within the same frame). But if I disable the tracked pose driver, moving it works. How do I move tracked pose driver on but move the camera?

[buoyant jolt]

Yes, this is by design. The camera is literally tracked to the headset and to the floor space, you'll need that reference a lot and don't want to alter it.

Keeping in mind motion sickness, the typical approach is to fade the screen, move the base XR Rig, and fade back in.

If you want to do forced motion however just apply it to the base XR rig

[onyx stream]

do you know if there are any visionos packages for the "typical approach"? Thanks for the info btw

like an "apple" way of doing it perhaps

[buoyant jolt]

Probably best to ask in here, it is pretty vision os active

[digital geyser]

Hi, we have a problem with the XR origin. We are creating a game where we want the player to start at a specific place in the scene (the players will always start at the same place in the room), and then the goal of the game is to finish a labyrinth.

What our problem is now is that the camera preview shows something something completely different than what we see when we press play. So the player with the headset is put in a whole different place in the scene. The rotation doesnt seem to align with position of XR origin/main camera.

We are using VIVE headset, steamVR and Unity 2021.3.33f1.

In the beginning we had issues with the headset disconnecting. What we experienced was that we had the perfect initial starting point, and then after disconnecting, the player spawned and the perfect rotation was lost. We dont understand the logic here... Somebody have any ideas? 🙂

[fleet barn]

Hi there.

My team has an issue in VR where the screen is blue for one of the players.
This happens only in builds and for a specific scene.
The bug appears once every N load of the scene.
The frustum acts weird, but only for that one random player.

I'll leave the Meta Quest Developer Hub log as a screenshot.
Has anyone ever encountered that error?

To clarify:

• Version is 2023.2.2f1
• We are using URP.
• It is not a missing scene issue in the build.
• The camera settings are the same as in other scenes which are not giving us a blue screen.

[icy mantle]

Does anyone know how I can add methods to the events of a XRGrabInteractable via code? I have a class deriving from XRGrabInteractable and wanna add a method when selectEnter gets triggered. Using XRI [2.4.3]

[fringe bluff]

@icy mantle I believe this is all you have to do. If your class is already inheriting from XRGrabInteractable, all you have to do is override the OnSelectEntered method. Afterwards, you do what you want. Usually i call the parent's version of the method using "base.methodName" in order to keep its default functionality. Then i put in my own code afterwards. Here is my basic example that I am using in a project atm.

Does anyone know how I can see if a socket has something occupying it? For example, I want to shoot a gun, but for it to shoot, I need to make sure there is a magazine in it.

Can't find anythign clear within the Unity documentation. I might be just misinterpreting something

[warm verge]

Unity VR beginner here: (SOLVED)

How would I print out what direction the user is pressing on the trackpad.

I have tried these all of them print a form of 0:

    Debug.Log(turn.action.ReadValue<Vector2>());
    Debug.Log(turn.action.ReadValue<float>());
    Debug.Log(turn.action.ReadValue<bool>());

I am using this as a reference:
XRI RightHand Locomotion/Turn (Input Action Reference)

Turning works when using the controller, but I cannot read the input in code.

SOLUTION:

I found out I needed the primary 2D axis. You can find what inputs the controller is making by going to Window > Analysis > XR Interaction Debugger

how does Beat Saber render glow?

on quest 2, post process is costly, was thinking they bake glow in texture but it looks too good for that, or i don't know how to do it right

[pseudo pulsar]

Hello, I am pretty new to VR development in Unity so I was hoping I could get some pointers regarding scene loading. I have noticed that when loading scenes, everything outside of the players direct FOV blacks out and the scene freezes a bit. Does resolving this issue come down to just optimization of the scenes or is another way to address the VR surroundings blacking out?

[icy mantle]

Hello, does anyone know, why the door swings/oscillate so hard when grabbing from far away? And do you know how to fix it. Using basic XRI, on the door there is: Rigidbody, HingeJoint, XRGrabInteractable and on my Hands is A XRDIrectInteractor.

[north path]

It overshoots and then goes back. That happens often with physics.
Use force to grab and increase drag on the rigidbody of the door

[north path]

That's because the application is at 0fps at that time.
You can load scenes in the background (with loadSceneAsync) to avoid this, or use additional scenes

[north path]

The game isn't graphically intense. They probably just use a cheap bloom effect

You could hook it up to renderdoc and maybe see?

[tight geode]

It's just bloom, Also you can use Post Processing on Quest

it just depends on the scene and what effect your doing

Beat Saber environments are extremely simple, everything is sharp edges lol

[narrow briar]

sharp edges means double vertex 😉

i paused and moves around and saw some crawling so it looks like low quality bloom

and most textures have pre baked bloom, plus what looks like additive texture on planes

[pseudo pulsar]

I have attempted LoadSceneAsync but my the FPS still plummets when that is triggered.

[echo lantern]

use urp and global volume not as costly as post processing

[viral jacinth]

Anyone got a good tutorial of how to make vr boxing game?

[buoyant jolt]

The typical process, is to fade the screen manually to black then load the scene. On a platform like Steam you can also customize what the loading screen looks like or does.

You can also use load scene async, and disable the auto loading, to let you minimize the loading time.

https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Unity-VR-Development/How-to-handle-scene-loading-in-Unity-like-when-using-SteamVR/td-p/611801

Looks like OvrOverlay is able to be used where we would use compositor for steamvr

https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/unity/unity-ovroverlay/

[narrow briar]

volumes are just trigger containers for post processing data so i don't know what you're saying here

[buoyant jolt]

I think they are saying URP and post processing volumes are more performing than built in and post processing (which I think is generally true). Although, I've seen URP reduce general performance for the Quest, it seems to pertain to known issues with vulcan. But I think that's what they were trying to say.

But yeah I'm pretty sure Beat Saber is just bloom post processing.

There isn't a lot to their game in terms of graphical complexity. So getting away with Bloom wouldn't be too bad.

There are also some older post processing for bloom as full screen shaders that I've used from time to time. They can be more performant than post processing individually, where post processing is faster for effect stacking, imo. Any mobile friendly Bloom effect should work.

For context, I use crazy Bloom in vector wars (VR game) and it runs great. It's just not complex geometry

[narrow briar]

URP slower on quest than built in?

it's madness each time i get back to unity project after a half day in unreal, 3 renderers , all with their glitches. i had to create a matrix of bugs to help decide

URP on switch was 2x faster than birp and it uses vulkan but different gpu

than quest

[modest lintel]

Hi everyone , I’ve been trying to create a scene for the past few weeks where the user can pick up a ring(torus) and place it through a hook so that it can hang but it doesn’t seems to work. Please can someone help me

[buoyant jolt]

Chances are it's the colliders. Unity needs convex colliders which would fill the center as solid.

Usually you need to chain some colliders manually to create the ring. With that it should now work properly.

I'm assuming what is happening is you place it on the hook and it flies off?

yea i just bought a Quest 3 before i had Rift S

[digital glade]

You can @wind citrus

You need the meta / oculus desktop app

have that because i owned Rift S before

as long as you can start airlink and get to oculus dash, view your desktop and click play in unity

you may need to have desktop oculus set in unity platforms but i'm not positive

the tutorial lloyd send they use Steam VR so i can maybe use Steam Link cause that does not take like 75% of my CPU or GPU

i haven't used it personally so i can't speak to it

[wind citrus]

i will try

[digital glade]

if you have a super fast router within a few feet of you it should work fine.. otherwise not sure how well it works.. i use a dedicated 5ghz network for mine with nothing else on that wifi

[wind citrus]

my CPU and GPU is BAD

[digital glade]

haha well theres your problem

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah you won't be able to overcome that problem

I'd just use Oculus Desktop over airlink and see if it works with no other configuration.

But you ultimately need a VR capable PC to run VR over wifi or cable, as it doesn't do any meaningful processing on the headset.

[white flicker]

hi. i am instatiating multiple of the same grabbable items, but i cant grab them, how do i fi?

[storm ether]

hey when i play my game on oculus it runs on 1 fps

[white flicker]

well, do you have high graphics?

[storm ether]

well

[white flicker]

volumetric light, full ambient occlusion

thats your problem

and remember to add dynamic resolution as well

@storm ether

[storm ether]

ok

[storm ether]

so i delete the volumetric lights

[astral ravine]

The unity demo will build and run on a Quest 2 if you install the Android build module and switch the build target to Android. Then you need to put your Quest into developer mode, install MQDH (or another sideloader) and you can drop the apk into the Quest. Or you can use Quest Link and run it in the editor (or even PCVR).

[astral ravine]

if the item is grabbable and you made it into a prefab then the instantiated version should also be grabbable... if that doesn't work then maybe you have scene references inside the object (not allowed in prefabs). You can replace them in various ways or populate the references at run time.

guys help i donwloaded xr interaction toolkit and it dosent have the hands settings

can someone send them?

[astral ravine]

are you talking about hand tracking (i.e. no controllers)? If so look here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.hands@1.4/manual/project-setup/project-setup.html

[astral ravine]

if you're talking about your VR player not having hands when you're using controllers, try this:
https://fistfullofshrimp.com/how-to-unity-vr-basics-2023-input-system-and-hands-xr-interaction-toolkit/

[idle olive]

Does anyone know how to fix not being able to see your hands and a part of your arms and pieces of my face texture in game but in scene it is completely normal? This is for a gorilla tag player model.

[astral ravine]

First guess would be either shaders (some shaders don't work in VR) or the quads are one-sided and you're "inside" them. But probably need more info. Can you post a screenshot of the editor with game view and scene view side-by-side?

[idle olive]

I will try to post it here tomorrow for an answer thanks.

Hey guys I need some help I had a version which worked fine with my VR headset but now it won't track the headset and no matter what I do nothing works any ideas

[frank oasis]

Type this into google 🙏🙏that’s all it takes

[buoyant jolt]

Wrong place for gorilla tag help

[buoyant jolt]

Im not sure if you mean in builds, in editor, type of headset, etc. What have you done to break it? Sounds like maybe a camera got added to the scene or VR setup is disabled in the project settings. The device log may help you in that regard.

[solar patio]

Thanks I have a look no idea I move the camera but nothing else. I did remake the project following the same online guides and same issue no matter what I do

[solar patio]

it a quest 2 headset

[sleek heath]

Does anyone know what to do when Unity randomly stops tracking the controllers for XROrigin?

I ran the project perfectly fine a week ago or so but today when I opened it up it only tracks the headset and the controllers are completely unpresponsive

[acoustic mesa]

for me that was a my controllers issue

i had to make sure they were on and connected before opening the project

[sleek heath]

Hmm ok, I dunno what happened I restarted all my apps about 3 different times including the headset itself and eventually it worked
Idk what the issue was

[astral ravine]

Did this work before? Which Unity version are you on?

Only times I've seen this problem with Android builds is after upgrading Unity to a new version and it didn't install the modules properly. I ran through a patch where the Hub was failing every time I tried to update, and I had to completely uninstall to get it back to working right. One of the symptoms of a broken installation was this type of error. If you have other projects which build OK for Android (on same Unity installation) and only this one fails, then it's a different problem.

I used Revo Uninsaller (free version) to remove Hub, then removed broken Unity editors, then reinstalled hub and the Editors I need, and it was fine since.

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah that happens if you change the Target API. You kind of need to now, as Meta requires 32 specifically, and android wants 32+, but unity installs like 29 by default and for some reason doesn't seem to be able to accept license agreements via command line (although it does try)

In the error body you'll see more info. Usually one will say you didn't accept accept agreement, or the SDK couldn't be downloaded, or no permissions, or something therein

What I recommend, but is a longer process, is installing android studio fully. That'll let you use their GUI to manually install any SDK versions you want without Unity getting in the way. Then point unitys Preferences to the new SDK folder.

The shorter method is to see what command is being run, copy it to command line, and see the errors first hand and work through them. I don't like that option as much though as you may need to do it every year when SDK targets need to be updated

I've been debating tossing up a video on the process, as its super quick once you know how and why. But time is a precious thing these days 😄

And, it is unitys SDK management problem. It would be nice to see them support and fix their engine for once...

[fleet plover]

heyyy
im rather new to unity vr and im just trying to make a test project, i made some controller visualizers and it works good, one issue im facing is that my xr origin doesnt seem to be working correctly, i set the tracking origin mode to floor to take my height into account but when i launch my game i spawn in the middle of my floor(height)

is this a frequent issue? any ideas of how to resolve?

[zealous mauve]

i just tried to build the apk of my game (for quest 2) and i get a error saying "failed to update andriod sdk package list" along with these errors in console...

any idea on how to fix ?

[fleet plover]

i assume this is an issue with your external tools

adb

[zealous mauve]

ive tired that multiple times, does not work sadly

[fleet plover]

have you checked that there's something in the directory it says?

[zealous mauve]

no i dont even know how to do that lol

[fleet plover]

oh

do win+e

click up there

and enter

C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2021.3.34f\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\AndroidPlayer\SDK\cmdline-tools\2.1\bin\

the path it told you

[zealous mauve]

idk if im just stupid but that didnt work

imon windows 11 btw

[fleet plover]

no i think it's fine

but uh

I'm not sure if i typed it out wrong or it's not there

[zealous mauve]

so what should i do?

[tribal spire]

I'm getting a bug where PlayOneShot doesn't "cut off" the current sounds and it has to play through the whole sound before the next one starts.
This only happens on builds for Quest, but it doens't happen in the editor

Anyone run into this? I can't find any info online. I've tried googling stuff like "Play oneshot not working quest 2 build unity", "audio not working only on build unity quest 2" "Play oneshot only working editor unity "

all I get are generic questions where people didn't use playOneshot with correct args

[severe saffron]

cut off? You mean like it should interrupt / stop the previously played sound? PlayOneShot doesn't work like that.

Ive used playoneshot almost exclusively, and it works great on quest.

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah if you only want a single instance of the sound, use .Stop and .Play, not PlayOneShot.

AudioSource.PlayOneShot does not cancel clips that are already being played by AudioSource.PlayOneShot and AudioSource.Play.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayOneShot.html

[tribal spire]

Ok thanks

I had it in my head that it was reverse lol

I guess i need to double check the basics :p

theres still some issue, but let me double check all this and ill come back if theres still an issue

[buoyant jolt]

All good, being stuck isn't fun

[tribal spire]

Ok - sorry, I typed a bad description. I didn't mean that I want it to Cutoff/stop the previous played clip.
I want to play a new instance of the sound, from the beginning, each time Playoneshot is called.

This isn't happening on Quest 2 though. On Q2 it only plays every ~5th sound

Does playoneshot work for that, or am I still confused

[severe saffron]

might be the voices count/limit? When you call playoneshot many times, it uses a new channel/voice, of which the default is only 32. If you use something like PlayOneShot for a fully automatic weapon you'll end up running out of voices quickly and the sounds will stop overlapping and start staggering.

[tribal spire]

Thanks, will double check this

yes automatic weapon, but it happens very quick, doesn't seem to be the limit, and I set the priority to be high I think

brb

[tribal spire]

thx its probably sound limit haha. I forgot I also have the impact sound playing, and that one persists for a while

ill clean this up

do you know if theres some "best pattern" to handle automatic fire? im just playing the same clip with pitch variation. But didn't finalize this part of my game yet, its mostly just been a placeholder

[severe saffron]

I find that pooling works well and allows some overlap. If not that, I think most users wouldn't notice a single audiosource that uses Stop and Play

[tribal spire]

wdym pooling? have some logic to "kick out" the oldest sounds and only keep 3 newest?

[severe saffron]

yes pretty much exactly that

[tribal spire]

Ok thanks

Alright let me code something up, appreciate the support

[severe saffron]

[neon kraken]

does anyone have experience in usin ai to help with map development?

[buoyant jolt]

Not really, I'm lucky to have a team, and so the game designers love setting up levels. We do have lots of procedurally generated games with levels though, I.e. maze type things. We have another big title coming near the end of the year that does that. But it depends a lot on the game and the type of method used.

A lot of the games we work on are meaningful and intentional by design, so the levels have to be perfect

I'm working to get VR level editors in place though so that players can make and share their own maps

[zealous mauve]

im getting this error while building the APK for my vr game, any idea on how to fix it?

[harsh kite]

Guys i'm using Meta SDK all in one, how can i add Teleportation movement to the player controller prefab?

[zealous mauve]

i dont understand

[buoyant jolt]

You can

• install android studio manually
• using android studio, install the target SDK you used in the build settings
• point Unity to the new SDK folder

You are missing the SDK. Unity has had problems auto installing it for you. So you can manually install it and bypass Unity.

[zealous mauve]

how do i manually install it

explain in stupid terms

[buoyant jolt]

That's about as basic as I can get. You need to Google it. Download it. Click on it. Hit next a bunch of times. Basically install it the same as you install anything

You have about 7 options though, this is just one of them.

You can

• browse to the folder and see if the sdk is missing
• manually run the same commands to see what is happening
• manually install the SDK the same way Unity does
• download the sdk files
• install android studio, so you can manage the sdk versions properly and never see the issue again
• install a different version of Unity, and don't change the build target
• try a different build target to find one you have installed

Keeping in mind, you need build target 32 for Oculus and 32+ for Google play.

[zealous mauve]

what version of unity should i change to? with my past experiences when i switch version my materials seem to break. i really don't want this happening

[buoyant jolt]

I'm not sure, the last time we tested 2022 it wasn't stable enough for all the VR platforms, so we are still using 2021. It's probably safe now however as we only test about every 3 months.

[zealous mauve]

alr thx

[harsh kite]

What should i put on surface to be able to Teleport on this GameObject?

[coarse escarp]

Getting some odd stuttering in VR - the FPS is fine, even when I set the Quest to 90hz it caps it. But stutters when we move around using smooth loco or rotate .

[hollow hill]

one thing to keep in mind is packaged games generally run much smoother than Editor level

[coarse escarp]

This is in a build sadly,

[tiny niche]

could be a frame time inconsistency, maybe something is done in fixed update and not interpolated

[neon kraken]

I mean I would love to do that however I have a degree to get first so that kind of sucks out all of my time to making a meaningful map. Unless I buy a package that someone made that was meaningful

[tiny niche]

@neon kraken you could generate concepts for specific areas with ai and then do the actual levels design that makes it work by hand

in some cases, you may even be able to benefit from an ai reverse-engineering depth into the image and use that to speed up the initial placement of assets

but most of the time it's going to be unusably inaccurate

[coarse escarp]

Yeah this project uses the BNG framework so I imagined it should be quite good . Not something I have been involved in from the start.

[tiny niche]

yea you're just gonna have to dig deep and figure it out. First step is to measure it. Once you can quantify the issue, you can start looking for the source

[neon kraken]

well ik how to make player models im just trying to find a way to precisely make a really nice looking map with chat gpt

i do have a question tho it says all compile errors have to be fixed however on in visual studios it says there are no errors

[scenic scroll]

Anyone have any experience with using Gaia for making worlds in VR? Is it too much in terms of performance? Or does the low poly option work well?

There are so many interesting tools and assets in the asset store but I don't know how to predict whether they will kill performance in VR or not...

[buoyant jolt]

I have, it works, but yes the entire terrain system as-is isn't very mobile VR friendly

[narrow briar]

@buoyant jolt you're moving to unreal, do you find it easy to get good performance vs unity?

[limber burrow]

I think only their Ultra version supports spatial audio, right? For a small project the AV Pro Ultra is quite expensive, is there a good alternative? @soft summit

[limber burrow]

can you have spatial audio with the unity video player well? Also I thought AV Pro allows for higher bitrates and stereo + higher resolutions, right? Its just costly, so looking for an alternative, any ideas? @buoyant jolt

[pine bison]

A low poly mesh from gaia is probably more viable on quest than the terrain system, which has significan overhead

[scenic scroll]

Speaking as an absolute beginner, how does a low poly mesh differ from the terrain system? By the later do you mean all the Gaia features beyond just the mesh for the ground itself?

[pine bison]

A mesh is just a mesh, but a Unity terrain is a whole system. And that system has always had issues with mobile performance. But I can't speak for Gaia at all

[scenic scroll]

Ah, I'm still working my way through the Unity beginner tutorials so I haven't come across the terrain system at all yet

I was just thinking it would be super cool to make the worlds generated by Gaia to be explorable in VR

but I know performance is a major factor in VR development and it seems like it might be too ambitious

(at least if any of the VR games I've played have been any indicator you need to keep the environments simple af)

[pine bison]

Yep 🙃

Hi! Does anybody know how I can set a height for my player? Because the player is above or below than needed depending on the set boundary floor

[warm verge]

I am getting low fps while in vr mode, but unity is only using 60% of my gpu max (The cpu and ram both run under 30%). Is there a way to make Unity use more resources to run at a higher framerate?

[fleet plover]

hey have you ever resolved this?

[fleet plover]

why?

[fleet plover]

the xr origin game object has the settings you need

select the tracking to be the floor

[warm verge]

I get motion sick when testing vr due to low fps

[fleet plover]

ah

there's a line to increase fps cap

[stray veldt]

My friends vr game keeps going invisible when you load up the game in vr how can he fix this

Please dm if you know how to fix it

[buoyant jolt]

Not enough information to fix your friends game.

[stray veldt]

Oh ok

[buoyant jolt]

I'd check the profiler and see what is happening. It should by default be able to use 100% of both. You can force set the FPS, but I suspect there is cooling going on or something else slowing it down. What kind of GPU do you have ?

[lofty tangle]

well height of the player is based off floor to hmd distance. and that is different for each persons tallness.
if you want each. players height to match no matter their irl height, youd need to calibrate their upright height and then scale the player to make them the desired height.
but even after that they could crouch or tippy toe to offset it. so its kinda a difficult problem and sometime better to design your game to work for people of multiple heights.

Are there some of you that use WebXR (also unityXr) to AVOID to build on many versions of APK arm x64/32 ? (optional, what is going to happen to apple Safari on ios with pwa (progressive web apps) limitations, now? )

[tiny niche]

pwa doesn't function any different when compared to a regular website

and i dunno if safari even supports them

[north path]

Define not working? If you use the oculus XR plugin the meta xr methods should work fine

[north path]

You only need arm64 builds. Armv7, x86, and x64 can be disabled.

De Panther has a WebXR Exporter on git, but there is no official solution

[north path]

Could it be shader compilation? Which device, unity version, render pipeline, build, shaders, etc are you using?

[solemn ingot]

I’ve got no clue

I have given up

[tiny niche]

what do you mean it didn't work? if you found methods that the documentation says does the right thing, then you've either screwed up the implementation or found a bug in the api

either way, none of us are going to be able to help with those unknowns

[buoyant jolt]

I do webxr, but not to avoid apks

That said I usually do webxr outside of unity via aframe or third party things like mindar

[sterile hatch]

It's a great place for VR but AR is solely for Mobile available, and no quest3

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah unity is funny that way (slow to create training content), I'm not sure why it (MR) keeps getting bundled into AR. As it's quite different. I suspect they didn't create anything for it yet as it's new and headset specific. Probably tutorials for it on meta dev pages

[sterile hatch]

with the uprising of the Apple Vision pro I see becomming AR way more important

[buoyant jolt]

I love the Q3 for passthough MR. Not convinced on Apple vision pro. But keeping an eye on it.

If we start getting clients requesting it though, I'll definitely take a more serious look at it.

[sterile hatch]

havent tried the Apple Vision yet but seen people who were no fans of XR getting into them (because apple products are so cool111!1!1!!!1!)

[sterile hatch]

you're working in the XR-Dev industry?

[buoyant jolt]

Q3 and Picos are high demand for us

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, super fortunate to have a lot of great projects :). No complaints there

[sterile hatch]

I'm in the end of my 3rd Semester of uni in Germany. Had VR for one semester so far and I just fell in love with it. Not just game wise but as a learning tool.. the comming summer semester we will dive into XR development and I hope to score an internship at 'lufthansa' in hamburg germany (basically the main base of a huge airplane agency)

And i'm trying to create a few small projects for my portfolio so I have something to show off and increase my chances to get accepted by them

So i've looked at some vr courses but the AR courses which are focused onto the quest 3 are.. very very limited

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah it's pretty bare bones unfortunately :(. It helps knowing OpenXR and AR Foundation well, but the docs are scarce.

It usually takes about 6 to 12 months before anything meaningful appears. Unity didn't actually unify their VR properly until 5 or 6 years in. It's a slow process, and you'll end up being front line learning a lot

[sterile hatch]

And I'm fine with that

See I like learning stuff and as long as theres a way to learn stuff i'l do that but it's hard if theres no guidance and all but I'll manage 🙂

Slow steps now

(On the side note i would love to tackle Unreal VR but thats.. yeah no)

how are performance vs unity?

we're writing all forward shaders by hand with all PP switches off but it ain't no URP

[flat mulch]

My health bar is not appearing in game. It is meant to appear above the hand at all time but on start it just is not visible in game for some reason

[buoyant jolt]

Unity for VR and mobile, for me, outperforms Unreal. But we always end up with a better looking project on Unreal. So it's a mixed bag.

But it'll also save my company a fortune every month if we get rid of Unity, and their local office competes with us for projects. So there are other reasons to look beyond Unity for us.

@royal trail sorry, I don't add strangers on Discord. If you have a Unity problem, I'd post it on here in detail, share what the issue is, what you've tried. I don't provide one on one support or work for Unity.

[royal trail]

can someone please help me with connect quest 2 to unity

[buoyant jolt]

https://medium.com/@rogermoore06/setting-up-the-meta-quest-2-for-unity-development-780e6c5ac346

[royal trail]

all the videos I've watched don't work

[flat mulch]

then watch those ones

[pine bison]

Vader Immortal is made in UE4 and runs on Quest 1. But i believe they made a lot of changes to the engine to make it fit their needs. That seems to often be the case

[flat mulch]

nvm i fixed it

[narrow briar]

better looking, do you use default shaders in both engine?

[narrow briar]

i turned on performance monitor in my quest and vader runs at a fairly low fps, but that's also my experience: ue4 customized performs fine enough for 90Hz as long as you do shaders by hand

[narrow briar]

how much in unity license do you spend?

i was considering pushing this company to unity but there are parameters and $ isn't one i considered yet

[buoyant jolt]

Once you start making non-games, you get forced into industry tier pricing. Not fun!

[narrow briar]

oh, i saw the discussion on that

[buoyant jolt]

For example, if you make any non game, you can't use personal edition regardless of revenue - and must buy pro

And when you hit the revenue limits you have to get industry pro, which is about 3x the cost

[scenic scroll]

Oh, how does that work? and how do you define a non-game?

[buoyant jolt]

A fitness app, vr for education, ar for a museum, etc

[scenic scroll]

"Unity Industry plan is required if you create applications outside of games or entertainment and your company’s total finances exceed US$1,000,000." doesn't this still protect small-time shops?

Then again, I guess once you're an established company it's not hard to hit that $1M threshold?

[buoyant jolt]

That's for the industry plan. Personal has another clause that says it can't be used for Industry use and connects to the same terminology

[vital gust]

If I do all the basics for VR and turn it into android, it should theoreticly work on quest, right?

[scenic scroll]

Unity Pro or Unity Enterprise plans are required for businesses with revenue or funding greater than $200K in the last 12 months, and for those who do work with them.
Is this the part that gets you?

[buoyant jolt]

No, that's for general game companies

The licensing doesn't really impact us, we are big enough it's whatever.

But I watched a poor guy making a fitness game on the side get audited by the industry team and forced to yearly pro subscriptions because it's a non game, 0 revenue

[narrow briar]

tim sweiney said last year that unreal will change pricing for non game. i think he was referring to movie studio

[buoyant jolt]

All because he asked their sales team a question via online chat

[scenic scroll]

Damn, that's fucked... it's a fitness game, no? And it's on the side so presumably $0 or close to $0 revenue?

[buoyant jolt]

Yeah, right now I'm between unreal, o3de, stride and unigine. But we are already about 30% unreal, so it seems like an easy change. But

[buoyant jolt]

That was his stance, it was a fitness game. But they insisted its a fitness app that's gamified.

[scenic scroll]

Corpos gonna corpo, smh...

[royal trail]

what shut i do next ?

[buoyant jolt]

It wasn't even released yet, still in development

[buoyant jolt]

You need to share in brief concise info what you did, what you tried, what error you see etc. If you followed the videos you should have oculus desktop or meta quest developer tools installed, and it should say what's wrong. If you don't share more info we can't help I'm afraid

[scenic scroll]

So... if I want to make a game that's basically just an explorable 3D environment they might say it's not actually a game but an "experience" or a "meditation app that is gamified" and make me buy industry?

Seems like a scary slippery slope

[buoyant jolt]

Yes

They will put you to pro until you reach the 1m threshold then put you to industry pricing (pro x3)

[scenic scroll]

😭

Is there any transparency on the requirements for something to count as a "game"?

[narrow briar]

ya makes sense. is it more costly in time to make the same products in unreal? i'm diving into animation today and what i see horrifies me

[buoyant jolt]

It's tough, we have a biggish team, they are all very excited for unreal, but 8 years of punching out mostly unity projects makes it a hard learning curve. It crashes a bit more, and is harder to adapt without a good c++ knowledge. But the teams been pretty excited about it.

[royal trail]

I want to connect VR to Unity .I downloaded some example and I want to run it on VR

[buoyant jolt]

Okay, until.you provide the information, we can't help any further

-
If an Industry customer has total finances less than $1M USD per year, they can use Unity Pro, Unity Enterprise, or Unity Industry. If they have total finances greater than $1M USD per year, per the Terms of Service, they must use Unity Industry.```

That's the clause that they quote, basically, you need to be pro or industry, if you are considered an Industry customer.

And an Industry customer I'd someone that they identify as

> An Industry customer is a non-games, non-entertainment customer. Users of Educational Versions are also excluded.

And then it goes on to say you can't mix and match licenses, so if you are making games and non-games, you are considered industry.

[buoyant jolt]

Anyway, you need to share what you've actually done, and what oculus desktop / mqdh is saying for an error.

[royal trail]

i download: meta quest developer hub ,oculus, and some sample.and I enable development mode

[buoyant jolt]

Great! What does oculus desktop show when you connect your headset via USB? Is it shown as connected?

That needs to show connected in order to work.

Are you able to play games via SteamVR?

That also would need to work.

[royal trail]

yes ,it show "connected"

[buoyant jolt]

If those both work, we know the problem is the Unity project configuration. If they don't work, we know it's the computer and the headset.

[buoyant jolt]

Maybe share a screenshot of oculus desktop just so we can be sure it's not showing USB issues etc.

[narrow briar]

it's a very interesting transition. i know a good unreal c++ engineers if you're looking

[swift stream]

Alternative to Interaction Layer Mask for VR development?
My project has many components each one needing its own socket. What other option do I have?

[buoyant jolt]

You can do most anything you want. I usually have a Descriptor component on the interactable with an enum to identify them and use them how you want

I strongly recommend using the XR toolkit as a guideline, it's not commercial ready as-is for the most part (imo). But is getting better over time.

But other options might be VR interaction framework, VRTK, and UltimateVR are all great. Hurricane is a mess and poorly coded. Vendor specific frameworks I don't recommend

[swift stream]

Unity supports 32 of interaction layer masks

[narrow briar]

which one is the simplest and best written?

i find unity latest stuff to be an OOP spaghetti monster

looking at the licensing model more closely, I don't see why a studio would use unity anymore

[buoyant jolt]

I personally love the VRTK, its grossly over built, but can do anything imaginable and probably has a sample already for it.

The downside is it is about 4 layers of inheritance to find the base class. But unlike the Unity projects, it's done in a logical extend-me kind of way (and with full functionality youd expect from VR). Instead of weird things that unity likes to make hard to access or just downright forgot to include... VR interaction framework is probably the most used outside of OpenXR and the XR toolkit.

We use our own thing now but I'd probably use VRTK or VRIF if I had to change again for Unity

In your case though, looking into MR, the MRTK was quite interesting but felt very hololens specific. It'll be interesting to see how that changes. AVP did their own proprietary thing that works with no one else and requires a Pro license & m1 Mac to build for. So that one will be unpleasant and not very usable with other platforms

It doesn't help you can't really use apple for any other VR, so you are literally building and buying hardware that can only be used once. Not smart long term. If meta makes an avp killer competitor, you'll need to rewrite everything

At least that's my understanding of it so far. I'll probably change my stance once clients with a budget start really asking for it

[scenic scroll]

By VRTK do you mean https://github.com/ExtendRealityLtd/VRTK

It looks like the last activity on that projec twas two years ago and in the asset store the last compatible version of the unity editor was 2021

Is it abandonware?

But VRIF looks cool: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/vr-interaction-framework-161066

Xr interaction toolkit, Action based issue

Problem: I want to use XRGrabInteractable with grip button, and XRSimpleInteractor with trigger button. But when i change Input binding of "Select" action in input action then it is affecting both (grab and simple). I couldn't figure out how to modify XRSimpleInteractor input action only.

Thank you.

[waxen parrot]

XRSimpleInteractor will interact with RayInteractor while XRGrabInteractor will interact with DirectInteractor

[narrow briar]

cool. five ⭐️ is rare.

[narrow briar]

that's my observation of later unity projects: very arbitrary and do not answer production needs.

speaking of hiding, yesterday i was shown how to get parent function, which is blueprint equivalent to base.Method(), that was a good laugh

[tiny niche]

you're heading into rough territory there, rebinding which button does what is likely to break a lot of things in the framework. It was designed with a specific physical button layout in mind

[narrow briar]

unity's xrtk?

[tiny niche]

yea

[scenic scroll]

I'm having a little difficulty with the XR Device Simulator... when I use it, it leaves the controllers on the floor at 0,0,0

[tiny niche]

you need to wire it up, there's a sample that does it

[scenic scroll]

so I've noticed there seems to be a huge discrepancy between the FOV in the "main camera" and what I can actually see in the headset

For example, I tried created a Canvas for a HUD style overlay but I can only see a couple of things mostly near the center of the canvas

Should I try fiddling with the canvas transform / scale? Or is it a build / headset / camera configuration issue?

just using the basic VR template, this is what I see in the "Game" view:

but when I build and run and put on the headset all I can see if the center bit, and it takes up most of my field of view

I don't want to fiddle endlessly with the position of the canvas only to find out it looks completely different in other headsets...

[tiny niche]

well its going to be, the fov is headset specific and they all have different resolutions as well

but you should also avoid locking things to the headset as well. worldspace ui is super important

[white flicker]

how can i make it so the player can spin this:

and i can also grab the spin value out of it

[idle olive]

how can i fix my sphere colliders breaking movement for my gorilla tag fan game?

[steep hemlock]

Check the station 7 (3D UI) of the XR Interaction Toolkit examples : https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/XR-Interaction-Toolkit-Examples
You can also use joints.

[white flicker]

thank you!

[narrow briar]

these are quite good. you use xrtk in production?

[waxen parrot]

How can I achieve that without modifying Input action. Please help

I am just having issue with XrRayinteractor with is currently working with grab button but I want it to work with teigger button.

[waxen parrot]

I just want to make 3d object clickable with XrRayinteractor. Is it possible??

[buoyant jolt]

Sure

It's meant to handle things at a distance, but should be fine for UI or 3D

You need an XRRayInteractor on the controller. And then just make sure you have the layer masks set right. I know on my last project, we have a toggle to turn it on and off per object, but I thinkt hat's just because we overhauled the XRTK
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit@3.0/manual/xr-ray-interactor.html

[waxen parrot]

I added the XrRayinteractor but it is selecting object by grip button not trigger button.

Any idea how to change grib button to trigger button but only for RayInteractor

[buoyant jolt]

I don't remember offhand what we did for it, but it isn't an easy framework to customize

I heard somewhere that the stereoscopic video rendering using Recorder is broken. What is the best way to render 360-stereo from unity?

[ruby flicker]

i need help please

does anybody know what to do.

[scenic scroll]

I probably can't help you, but you should also post what is in the console

[ruby flicker]

OK WAIT

i meant wait

@scenic scroll

[scenic scroll]

Did you install the Android Build support in the Unity hub when you installed the editor?

Also, what are the details of the second-last error?

[ruby flicker]

where is that in the hub

nope got it

so what do i do now

[scenic scroll]

I would try looking at all the error details, google them (this works more often than you'd think), try checking the build settings, project settings, etc.

[ruby flicker]

already did

searched gradle error colliding error

[scenic scroll]

you got this project from someone?

[ruby flicker]

nope

[scenic scroll]

and you're trying to build it now?

[ruby flicker]

created it

[scenic scroll]

from scratch?

and it built when it was just a super basic scene and not much else?

[ruby flicker]

no

just got that

[scenic scroll]

what's the full build settings?

[ruby flicker]

that map took me 9 hours

or smyh

[scenic scroll]

what about player settings?

[ruby flicker]

ok wait

wich one

ok

oops

wich one

[scenic scroll]

I'm a noob too so idk, but something in there might be causing issues

you can target different architectures, like arm7 vs arm64

[ruby flicker]

hello

ok

[scenic scroll]

also if this is a 100% barebones vanilla from-scratch VR project with nothing but a scene with some generic GameObjects in it then something might just be fundamentally wrong with your install

[ruby flicker]

so whats that

[scenic scroll]

have you done the beginner unity tutorials?

[ruby flicker]

no

[scenic scroll]

like the first learning pathway on learn.unity.com

you should probably do those first to get acquainted with the basics of the unity editor and interface and general workflow

a wise man once said "everything in VR is twice as hard"

[ruby flicker]

but it worked before and now it doesn't

[scenic scroll]

also, did you write any custom code?

okay if it worked before that's an important clue

it means something you did is likely the culprit

[ruby flicker]

a setting?

mayb?

[scenic scroll]

gradle is the java compiler. unity converts the c# to java to build the APK, so maybe you inherited from some weird interface that is messing things up?

[ruby flicker]

idk

i was on this project before and it worked

and now i try and it doesn't

oidManifest.xml:51:13-44
is also present at [:unityLibrary:xrmanifest.androidlib] AndroidManifest.xml:23:13-49 value=(quest|quest2|cambria).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml:48:9-51:47 to override. is that the solution

[scenic scroll]

pro tip: try removing all the line references and then google that, for exmaple:

oidManifest.xml is also present at [:unityLibrary:xrmanifest.androidlib] AndroidManifest.xmlvalue=(quest|quest2|cambria). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml to override.

[hearty iron]

Using the XR interaction toolkit what is the preferred way to change the ray interactor line visual valid color based on different objects

[buoyant jolt]

You need to see the console. Some other android.manifest file has an entry conflicting with the meta framework trying to make changes to it

[white flicker]

how do you get button input?

[north path]

In the input system you can select which controls to use. What are you stuck at?

[scenic scroll]

Has anyone gotten the VRUIP asset to work? Running into lots of issues with the demo scenes and the prefabs don't seem to work nicely with VR controls 😦

[scenic scroll]

Figured it out. Needed to fiddle with some of the game object references in various prefabs as well as updating the input maps (VRIF and VRUIP both assume different default input action sets which was causing issues!)

[obtuse cargo]

Good evening! Could someone please help me? I've been encountering this error for a week now and I can't seem to fix it. I'm trying to build the project, but it keeps showing this error: "A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.res.LinkApplicationAndroidResourcesTask$TaskAction. See the Console for details." Does anyone know what might be causing this?

[buoyant jolt]

No, but it most likely is a plugin that isn't compatible with android or that version of gradle. You'll need to look at the logs in the console to see why

The message above is just a generic one, not the cause

[obtuse cargo]

Sorry, I was sleeping. the console says this.

[lavish stream]

Help.
I am trying to build a scene to a quest 2 but its not showing up in run device tab.

I have:

• I have Android modules installed.
• I installed the ocules integration and XR packages.
• Set the player settings to configure VR on the quest.
• have developer mode enabled on a developer account.

And I cant fix this error

[ruby flicker]

but im new idk what to do

[tepid burrow]

Hi! Some one knows some tool in the asset store, github, anywhere .. to detect gestures, own or custom gestures for vr with q2 ? I try recently MiVRy but i cant implement the continues gesture detection correctly so im l4 new tools or ways to do that

[white flicker]

well this is what im at now, but i cant drag the controllers into the input things

[north path]

Use the new input system with input actions

And read the documentation

[north path]

Probably best to use the new XR Hands pre release

[white flicker]

i made a few actions there yeah, now im just wanna know how to detect if the action is triggered in script

[north path]

Google how to use the new input system

Woth unity events it's very easy

[white flicker]

i just put the code that happens here?

thats it?

[north path]

Yes

And link the action in the editor

[tepid burrow]

what i saw is that it s for hand gesture what i want is something like recreate circles or shapes with hands and after create the gesture or shape make an action

[north path]

You can combine hand poses with rotation and distance to eachother?
There probably are custom solutions as well, just haven't used any

[lavish stream]

Can anyone pls help me.
I will provide more information if needed.
This is Really important for me becouse its for a school assignment. So if you think you can help pls do.

Does anyone know how I can see if the primary button on a controller has been pressed or not? Basically, I am trying to make it where when the user is holding a gun with a magazine in it, they can press the primary button to eject the mag. So far, none of the forums I am finding help me with just seeing whether or not the button is pressed

[lavish stream]

If your using the ocules integration package this should help you:

if (OVRInput.GetDown(OVRInput.Button.One, OVRInput.Controller.RTouch))
        {
            Debug.Log("Primary button on the right controller pressed!");
        }

[fringe bluff]

Never have heard of the intergration package. But I think I found something that may put me on the right path. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/xr_input.html

If you are using unity's XR integration toolkit then yes it will for sure help you.

I need to go sleep now tho

Alright. Get some sleep.

i am using the XR interaction toolkit, how do i enable smooth or snap turning?

[scenic scroll]

Do the scripts that come in the Oculus SDK work on non-oculus headsets?

I want to make a curved UI, and there seems to be a fairly easy way to do that using the Oculus SDK, but will that work in the HTC Vive?

[lofty tangle]

the tool kit should have some rotation provider or something.
I only use the xr toolkit for getting input and tracking data. so I just use my own script that rotate around the camera degrees per sec and/or degrees per snap if I enable smooth or snap turning

[halcyon belfry]

how do I fix this

[north path]

Load the demo scene and try. Definitely not all OVR features work, but those being OpenXR Compatible should work

Hey,
i am new to Unity and for a university projekt i try to set up a VR scene with Hand tracking so that i can grab, scale, rotate etc objects. i recently followed two tutorials:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ3fygb9Aw0&t=746s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnM58__AmQQ&t=11s
but even after doing it twice i run in two problems...
The first and major one is that i still cant interact with objects. i try to grab a cube in my szene but nothing happens.
The second one is problem with hand tracking itself. Parts of the hand palm doesnt rotate with my hand and instand always face towards the "front of my vr space" which i defined when i setup my htc vive pro 2. Now i have deformed Hands.
And does someone knows if the gerneal more or less okayish hand tracking is due to my "older" VR headset. Maybe the 2 front kameras arent enough.

[mystic kraken]

So it's not my project but I'm just curious as to if there's any technical explanation

This game is running unity 2020.3.44f1 and all text + images + RenderTextures are invisible / a bunch of spaced blobs. Any ideas?

Hello #🥽┃virtual-reality, I'm trying to research a rather unique problem. I wanted to know if I can open an apk (application) inside an already running apk/application on the Meta Quest 2/3. So far, I've found a few links about opening an app from another app (deep-linking and this github -https://github.com/kblood/Quest-VR-Menu , but I wanted to know if launching an app inside an app is possible on the Quest. The apks/applications are made in Unity C#. One question on the Android StackOverflow mentions a similar problem, and the responder says it's not possible due to how Android and it's sandbox environment is made. I tried the GitHub, and more about launching an app from another app through Deep-Linking. After some hardships, I'm able to get that to work although I want to launch an app inside an already running app. Not sure if that is possible (don't have a lot of native Android development experience!). I'd greatly appreciate resources or if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Trick is, I only own a quest

I mainly want to create a curved canvas and the oculus ask has a bunch of scripts to help with that, but will they work on other VR platforms?

I assume so, but you know what they say about assuming!

[untold grail]

Hello! I apologize if this is a rather odd question. But does anyone know how I would find a way to use hand tracking to make continous movement? I have searched high and low for this, but all I've managed to find so far are research papers.

I have already set up a basic hand gesture recognition system and continuous movement using controllers. Essentially, my goal would be to have the game recognize a specific hand gesture (let's say a "thumbs up") and then activate the continuous movement until they switch to a different gesture.

I'm aware it's not exactly the most immersive form of control - but this is definitely a very "experimental" project, and I will be implementing alternative locomotion options. Many thanks in advance!

[royal trail]

can someone help me in connecting quest 2 to unity please

[narrow briar]

what did you do so far?

for me, once quest link worked, everything else fell in place

[royal trail]

I bought cable

I downloaded the example

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apnfGuMI0Dc from this video

[north path]

Tbh, then just use features for openxr or the XR tool you use. There is a curved UI unity package. If you are going to release something, that cost is nothing

[scenic scroll]

Oh thanks, it didn't come up in my previous searching. Is this what you're talking about? https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/anyui-map-your-ui-on-any-3d-surface-91811

I'll give it a shot!

[astral ravine]

Depending which interaction toolkit you want to use (I'd suggest starting with Unity's own) then you don't need to do much at all, you can download the example project from Unity's git, then connect Quest Link and hit play in the editor. I think that should just work out of the box with OpenXR. If you decide to go down that route and it doesn't work then post back here. Be aware that if you actually build the Unity demo scene and deploy to Quest 2 it won't perform very well, but that's not what we're talking about here. If you're on Quest Link then play-in-editor is running on your PC.

[halcyon belfry]

how do I fix this?

[royal trail]

I download "xr-integrate -toolkit-example-main" from unity

[untold grail]

Hey, thanks for the tip! That's actually the tutorial I've used before! (Valem is indeed the goat)

However, I recently swapped to trying to use the Oculus Integration SDK, as I was having some issues with the grip interaction to work when using the other XR hand tracking, as well as some other strange behavior (such as hands being "off center" even at 0, and turning invisible when getting too close to one another)

I was able to get some simple continous movement working using the SimpleCapsuleWithStickMovement. However, I was having trouble finding how to actually trigger that using the pose detector. I figured out how to spawn objects with that, and have a text which can display the name of the changing pose. But I admit I'm still a little new at this, so I'm a bit lost beyond that.

It just shows the home scene or whatever

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/vr-project-setup I did follow these instructions and well

I didn't get the expected results

When I run it, all I see is my laptop

[astral sluice]

Ah I forgot to activate developer mode
Well that shouldn't take too lo-

[astral sluice]

Well I did do that but it still doesn't work ig
Quest 2 does show up on my supported devices in the Android build settings tho ig

Ok now it works in the build, wahoo

Hello, has someone here used the vive pro 2 with hand tracking and can tell me about their experience with it?
is it good? does it have flaws and limits?

[buoyant jolt]

Probably overheating, you may need to profile the scene and check the batch counts, real-time lights, poly counts etc

How do i get rid of these sticks? theyre stuck there with the hands model

[hollow moss]

nvm fixed it.

i used complete xr origin prefab.. maybe i should stop using it

im not able to find those stick models though. i still dont know how to remove them, other than just not using complete xr origin

it was in the poke interactor..

genuinely wtf unity. if anyone goes through the same problem, delete this to remove it

will anyone even go through the same problem anyway lol

[buoyant jolt]

Probably not. With a VR headset those are attached to the controllers and used to poke things. I replaced mine with a cute hand on a stick model, but you can just turn that renderer off. There are bigger issues with the openxr hands integration IMHO that needs fixing. But it's a start.

XRSocketInteractor has an option to enable hover snapping, but it also forces a snap radius. Is there any way to let it use the colliders bounds instead, so that when an interactable enters the socket's bounds, it snaps?

[tawdry sand]

Please ping me if anyone has a solution

[buoyant jolt]

Couldn't you set the radius to 0 in that case?

But you could write something quickly to convert the bounds distance to the radius. We don't use their built in snapping etc as it is usually pretty rudimentary and needs a lot of love to be usable in a commercial project.

[tawdry sand]

Doing that disables the snapping entirely

[tawdry sand]

I'm using a box collider, so radius doesn't translate properly

I tried coding up my own snapping functionality, but it is very complicated for a beginner like me to do

Only could make it snap, could not make it grabbable again

[buoyant jolt]

Totally fair, it is not an easy undertaking

Hey, so happy update! I finally got the gesture locomotion working! 🎉

Not sure if we're supposed to post full code here, but I essentially created a "pose dector" script, with a rigid body (set to the player's), a "locomotionTrigger" (ActiveStateSelector), and a cameraTransform object. I then made a bool for "isMoving", which would trigger upon the gesture being selected or unselected. I then made a fixed update where if "isMoving" is true, then it moves the player in the direction the camera is facing, using this:

Vector3 moveDirection = cameraTransform.forward;
rb.velocity = moveDirection * movementSpeed;

Probably not the most perfect or elegant solution, but so far, the movement is surprisingly smooth and fun! Hope this helps if anyone else was stuck on this.

Anyone familiar with photogrammetry and how feasible it is for me to use it for my VR project?

[buoyant jolt]

It's fine, there isn't much too it. I think I answered it better in the other channel though

[dull lake]

Tyyy

[buoyant jolt]

Very interesting:

couple seconds sound like nullrefs all over the place or particles not dying. need more details like hardware, screenshot, profiler screen cap

Hey,. I've got a question for ya. If I wanna make a VR game and I wanna code it. Shall I learn to code in in general and then learn how to code VR games or just already learn how to code VR games

[frank oasis]

Imo it will be a lot less stressful if you learn how to code generally and then focus on vr stuff

Otherwise it can be quite scary fixing vr errors without a clue how to

[visual junco]

Haha, thanks. I'm already learning then how to code generally then I'll move to vr

[visual junco]

So I'm guessing you know how to code vr games to a certain level

Or at least know what your doing

[scenic scroll]

Well unless you're just using a framework and only working within that framework then you'll need to write code
