Can I just import Oculus Integration from the Asset Store or something? Will that work? I just want this thing

Is there any reason why this wouldnt work in OpenVR and Steam VR? It says it works in live view, but I cant get the state in scripts

I tryd on every of the free unity versions on 2 different dell laptops and fowlowd a video step by step and I used the quest 2 and I used the cable you get with your quest but in the oculus app it said that wasnā€™t a usb 3 cable(what I needed) but it did conect my quest to the leptop(sorry for bad spelling)

No

#

Alright so then you won't be able to 'hit play' in Unity and test your content on the device but you should be able to make Android builds (if you've setup and configured android) to build a standalone app to your quest.

storm ether
#

Do you mean I make a android app and then download it with my quest

leaden flame
#

correct, except you wouldn't download it. You would install it on your quest.

How do I install it?

Attach Transform works perfectly in Kinematic but not INstantaneous

How do you stop audio from coming from speakers rather than the VR headset?

low sedge
#

click the audio icon in the corner of the bottom bar and click on the audio icon, select which you're wanting from the options

#

*of main windows

vale mountain
low sedge
#

On the windows task bar. This has nothing to do with unity, it's a windows issue

vale mountain
#

Ah

#

well, yes and no

#

I think it may have to do with steamVR

#

since this only happens with SteamVR and openVR

low sedge
#

I get the exact same issue on my pc with vrchat

vale mountain
#

didn't happen with the previous VR method I used

#

Also, other question I have for you or anyone else;
Is there any way to use multi pass with HDRP?

#

it throws errors if I try

#

Nvm, says it's required with oculus

vale mountain
#

Is there a reason why the FPS seems to drop when the camera is near a model/geometry in VR?

#

It also seems like certain lights are being enabled/disabled by the view when they shouldnt be

wet wren

I'm reading an article on VR optimizations and it mentions something about not using Temporary Buffers - which it appears that I am (as shown in RenderDoc) - how do I fix this?

XR Interaction Toolkit: is there any reason you shouldn't be able to create and set an attachTransform in the OnSelectEntered() event? I'm creating one and it's being assigned properly, but doesn't seem to be doing anything.
/edit: nevermind. I hadn't noticed that OnSelectEntering() existed. That's where it needs to happen, since it has to take place before XRGrabInteractable's Grab(), I think.

Does anyone have a c# script for when tracked hands collide with a game object, the hands change colour? I am trying to simulate putting gloves on i.e there are a pair of blue surgical gloves and when you touch them your hands change to blue to appear as though the gloves have been put on.

livid oar
#

That way you just set-active whenever the collision is detected, and de-activate the original mesh/model for hands.

Hi all

I would like to ask you how you'd manage this situation:

I have an IOS/Android application which loads a 360 panoramic image / video in VR (thought for Cardboard vr compatible devices). The scene also has an UI canvas with some controls which the user can interact with.

I would like to give users the ability to choose between VR mode and non-VR mode so they can use the application even if they don't have a Cardboard viewer or they don't want to use it in these moment.

The scene in Non-VR mode must have the same functionality that in VR mode with the only difference that device screen should not render in stereoscopic.

I was wondering what options do I have to achieve this.

First I thought there was some way to use the same scene with the same XRRig but using monoscopic rendering. I have been looking for information but I didn't find anything.

Then I thought about using AR foundation and create an AR scene for the non-VR mode. I didn't try it yet so I don't know if it's possible and if it won't be overkilling. Also I guess I'll lost compatibility with some older devices (although this is not my main concern if it's the best/only option).

Last option and the simplest one would be to attach a script to the camera parent object and control the camera rotation using gyroscope input. Which would be the same way I'm controlling the camera rotation in the editor using the mouse move.

What do you think? (Sorry for the wall of text).

i have a problem with a simple drawer. When i grab it attach point isn't a handle, but a center of the entire drawer. And i can't fix it, setting the attach transform didn't helped

leaden flame
pine bison
#

Yeah I agree, my advice would be to not over engineer a solution, and your other alternatives sound like that to me haha. If you don't need anything more than gyroscope it will keep things more unified between VR/non-VR as well

Hi. I need some help with my VR character controller. I'm moving my character with IK ( inverse Kinematics ) and somehow i made it so far that i can rotate and move the character arms according to my VR controller position, rotation. Now i need to move the character with my headset and rotate the head and i don't know how to do this. -_-
Here is my code :

delicate glade
#

the ancor apparently changes every time you grab it

#

and when you grab it it grabs and puts itself like 20 metres away

tiny niche
#

check the docs, normally it dhould always snap to the pivot on the object

delicate glade
#

can we go on a call? if thats asking too much

#

i just tested it agtain for a longer period. if it doesnt go to that ancor spot in time before i press grab. when i press it again it moves a tiny bit further up

#

it changes alm every time

#

my hand remains still

#

@storm ether

#

ok

#

so it doubles the hight of it every time you grab

delicate glade
#

@tiny niche

tiny niche
#

it sounds like you're parenting a different object from the one with the collision shape

Hey everyone. Anyone having CardboardVR up and running with 2019.LTS? I'm trying to upgrade a long running project to the new plugin system and Cardboard keeps crashing (either on startup or when I start VR myself at a later point). Just tried getting the official sample up and running and even that crashes? Looks like a bug that is supposedly fixed in the 1.4.0 cardboard lib, current is 1.4.1, but I can't find anyone else having the problem.

modern tangle
delicate glade
#

i was joking i have no idea how to help XD im stuck with an object flying off in the distance when i grab it LMAOO

modern tangle
#

My first guess would be a problem in the code that makes your hand transform the parent of the grabbed object, maybe a localposition vs. worldposition thing.

wraith shale
#

@modern tangle you should be able to use the old VR plugin still with 2019.4 LTS

modern tangle
#

That's not an option, as the old plugin fails more and more often on iOS devices, usually experienced as a wildly spinning camera, which can only be fixed by the user by rebooting the device, hoping that it works again for a while (sometimes stops as early as 30minutes after the reboot). Only the new plugin system does make sure that newer devices work...

wraith shale
#

anyway... if you crash on startup, you could just wipe your library folder and then start editor

modern tangle
#

I just spent the time to install the latest 2020 version, set up a clean project, only adding the cardboard XRplugin, scene with a capsule, and testing with that

#

it crashes, reliably so, either on startup (if "Initialize XR on startup" is checked) or as soon as I activate it at runtime

wraith shale
#

pretty sure I had cardboard running on 2019.4 and new XR system on one test project but it was for Android

modern tangle
#

the crashes I experience are on android, but the project I want to update supports every VR platform out there except for PSVR

#

so, the problems on iOS are forcing me to update the project

#

I guess my only option right now is to file an issue with crashlog and all at the cardboard plugins github page and call it a day...

#

I can fire up my macmini on monday and see if things run better on iOS....

prisma sentinel
#

so i thought up a way to proper disorient my players when they get hit/shot in the head

#

basically if you get shot and the bullet ricochets off your helmet, your head will bounce back from the direction the bullet was fired and recover over half a second

#

like if you were shot in the right side of your head, your head would tilt left really fast and then come back

abstract isle
prisma sentinel
#

I know.

#

that's the point

abstract isle
#

šŸ¤® good luck šŸ˜„

prisma sentinel
#

and it's only for a split second

#

yeah i want to simulate what it's like to get shot and not die

#

disorienting and painful

#

but yeah, im having trouble figuring out how to implement this, i use vr plugins and i dont know how to modify the camera so that it doesn't always follow your head

modern tangle
#

You can move the XR-Rig root object.

#

If you don't have that, make your "main camera" (or whatever object that is tracking head motion) a child object to a root object

#

That's the one you would move in your locomotion solution

prisma sentinel
#

ooh okay

#

so like the camera being parented to an object

#

the object rotates and recoils based on what direction it's hit

#

@modern tangle ?

steep geyser
#

How does movement work with the continues move provider and do I use device based or action based?

modern tangle
#

Yes @prisma sentinel

prisma sentinel
#

alright that sounds like a really solid solution

Question: How do I test Unity on my Quest without putting the headset on since I have a huge headache right now but really feel sadistic and want to test code.

#

What do I put in front of sensor

leaden flame
mental sentinel
#

The sticky note idea is dope

#

I will go get one

mental sentinel
#

When I use XR Grab Interactable and pick up an object, it seems to disable my oncollisionenter script that is on that object or somehow not trigger it. How do I best fix this?

#

Do I need to, like, put the script on the player?

granite nymph
#

Disables it for all objects or just your hand? Because when you pick it up, doesn't it get parented to your hand? It's been some time since I looked at that, so I'm not quite sure what you're encountering.

mental sentinel
#

The script that's on my Sword isn't triggering when it hits my Skeleton dude, except for when I throw the sword or when the Skele walks into it

#

So whenever I hold it in my hand, this isn't triggering:

granite nymph
#

You should put a Debug.Log() statement as the first line of your OnCollisionEnter() and print out the tag of what you've collided with. You'll know first off if it's firing and second, if the tag is actually "Skeleton" or a typo.

mental sentinel
#

I'll try that. But it's not an issue when I throw it. The moment I throw the sword it does dmg

#

Or when it's on the table

granite nymph
#

hmm, that does imply something's changing, yeah...still, would be good to know if it's firing or just not matching.

vestal flicker
mental sentinel
vestal flicker
#

Exactly the reason to read it.

#

You must have something with your hierarchy that changes the object that event would fire on when you're holding it.

#

But it fires on that object when you are not holding it.

mental sentinel
#

ah

#

Wait... that's not making sense, either.

#

Unless you're implying that it's already triggering and I'm ignoring it

#

But just because it triggers once doesn't mean it won't trigger again

#

I'm lost

granite nymph
#

No, when you grab something, there's several different behaviors that your grabbed object might change to. I can't recall what they are. Kinematic is one.

mental sentinel
#

I have it on Kinematic

#

Oh

#

Are you saying it becomes on Trigger?

granite nymph
#

If it's a sword, I'm assuming you'd want it to be a trigger and not a blocking collision.

#

hard to slice something if it blocks it.

mental sentinel
#

thx, that makes sense

#

But also, right now, the XR is bugged

#

So you can't do instantaneous

#

Because it will ignore the pivot

granite nymph
#

The charts that Cloudwalker pointed you at will show how the collisions are going to work.

mental sentinel
#

I feel that there's something that can be explained in one sentence but I'm gonna have to figure out after re-reading all of that for the nth time šŸ˜›

storm ether
#

OH Yeah

mental sentinel
vestal flicker
#

Problem is you're using a crappy interaction framework in the first place šŸ˜‰

mental sentinel
#

XR Interaction Toolkit is the default, though

#

I mean, Unity's Default

#

But yeah, it seems buggy af

#

It's weird because the swords still collide with stuff and cause physics interactions when grabbed

mental sentinel
#

I don't even know if a separate collider with a trigger is just going to work, either

mental sentinel
#

So I tried to do this workaround https://forum.unity.com/threads/attachpoint-wrong-when-using-instantaneous-movement-type-in-xrgrabinteractable.1028836/#post-6704872 but as soon as I create a new script and copy the entire code over, with no modifications even, I get errors: Assets\Scripts\XRGrabInteractable2.cs(546,42): error CS0507: 'XRGrabInteractable.OnSelectExiting(SelectExitEventArgs)': cannot change access modifiers when overriding 'protected internal' inherited member 'XRBaseInteractable.OnSelectExiting(SelectExitEventArgs)'

Unity Forum
Bug - AttachPoint wrong when using Instantaneous movement type in X...

In the XRToolkit example WorldInteractionDemo scene, I changed the movement type of the Jigsaw to "Instantaneous" instead of "Kinematic".

It seems...

#

I'm guessing no games actually USE XR toolkit

tiny niche
#

last i tried, the pivot worked as expected. but maybe you're getting the wrong object parented

mental sentinel
#

If the movement type is Kinematic the pivot works great

#

Not Instantaneous though

#

Also, in the thread posted above Unity acknowledged the bug and gave no ETA for the fix.

#

I ended up fixing it by editing the code directly into it, though. It's weirdly a bit off, but whatever. I adjusted some values and it works.

Which toolkit are you guys using for VR? I'm having so much issues. Ran into the grabbale pivot transform bug in XR Toolkit and then gave up on it, bought a $60 toolkit asset that turned out to be absolute trash, and now I might go try to use VRTK but the v3 Getting Started video was made in 2017 and I don't know how compatible it is with modern Oculus Iintegration.

#

Or should I somehow try VRTK v4?

vestal flicker
#

Always best to create your own, then you have full control and knowledge of everything. You won't find a toolkit that meets your needs completely.

leaden flame
mental sentinel
leaden flame
#

makes sense, what VR platform are you developing on and what do you want to target?

mental sentinel
#

Quest

#

Essentially Quest only.

leaden flame
#

Have you tried the oculus utilities?

mental sentinel
#

I haven't tried them by themselves, no. Most tutorials use something else that extends it somehow.

#

Oculus Utilities = Oculus Integration Package yes?

leaden flame
mental sentinel
#

Hmm... Oculus Utilities only has Grabbable? It doesn't have things like Smooth Locomotion and Teleport, etc?

leaden flame
#

but yeah for your use case I'd start by making sure you have a clear idea on a couple different aspects of the game.

  1. What is the main mechanic (sounds like it's shooting)
  2. What's the main locomotion
  3. What other types of object interaction might you need
  4. What other types of UI / menu interaction might you need
leaden flame
#

but yeah after answering those questions one toolkit might standout above others.

#

I'm also curious about the bug you ran into with XRI, was it something other users ran into too?

mental sentinel
# leaden flame there is some locomotion and things like distance grabbles
  1. Main Mechanics include shooting, tossed projectiles, custom projectiles / weapons (think iron man weapons)
  2. Smooth Loco and some Teleport
  3. I actually don't need much physics. Only need collision. Mechanically it'll play out more like a moba / hero shooter
  4. I'm sure UI can be figured out afterwards with any toolkit.
mental sentinel
# leaden flame I'm also curious about the bug you ran into with XRI, was it something other use...

https://forum.unity.com/threads/attachpoint-wrong-when-using-instantaneous-movement-type-in-xrgrabinteractable.1028836/ This was the bug I ran into. There's even a workaround but I couldn't get it to work... sort of... I mean, I did, but then it was janky

Unity Forum
Bug - AttachPoint wrong when using Instantaneous movement type in X...

In the XRToolkit example WorldInteractionDemo scene, I changed the movement type of the Jigsaw to "Instantaneous" instead of "Kinematic".

It seems...

#

XR Toolkit was honestly working like a dream other than the grabbable bugs

#

I think a related bug to this was found when I tried to use Kinematic movement type on the grabblable instead of Instantaneous, but then the colliders were disabled or something on the grabbed object

leaden flame
#

ahhh interesting, yeah I just wanted to make sure it was a recent bug and wasn't something that's been fixed with the latest release.

mental sentinel
#

Yeah, on Jan 13th Unity said it was looking at it, it seems

#

I guess I could just use XR Toolkit...

#

I mean, they will eventually fix it... and I do have something of a workaroundish

leaden flame
#

yeah I was going to say XRI should cover those use cases. I think VRTK and other toolkits would as well.

#

Are you using XRI 1.0.0-pre.2?

mental sentinel
#

Yeah

#

I even did a re-import yesterday to make sure

leaden flame
#

yeah, I think maybe sticking with XRI and using the workout they mentioned or structuring your object / interactables a bit differently for the time being could be a solution for the short term.

Yeah it's pretty much a no-refund situation. I mean, I don't think the asset is "broken". Just not quality, etc.

wraith shale

@mental sentinel only two ways you can get refund from UAS are: product doesn't work like advertised (broken/misleading marketing) or asset publisher is willing to give you the refund. In your case I'd just contact the asset publisher, tell that product didn't meet your quality standards etc and ask if you could get refund (just word it nicer than I did here).

# turbid ember I dont find VRIF to be bad at all - the dev is active at improving things IMHO a...

My biggest gripe with it was just that you end up paying $60 and it feels less polished than XR Interaction Toolkit. All the "bonus" things are nice, but it all feels like very experimental stuff, a bit janky. For example, even in the demo prefabs, you have 2 handed objects that can be picked up, but when you release one hand the whole thing falls and your other hand's grip is ignored. It's just a bit hokey. For the fact that it's a priced product, one expects the $60 paid out to make it on par with the 2 other major toolkits (XR and VRTK) that are free.

#

I mean, I went to buy VRIF because XR Toolkit had two bugs with the pivot points, but ended up going back to XR Toolkit and working around its bugs because VRIF just didn't feel right for what I need.

Hello guys! I have a simple question and I canā€™t find the answer on google.. Iā€™m using the XR interaction toolkit. I have a gameobject (with an interactable component) in my scene and I want to check if this gameobject is currently being held by an interactor (a hand)

There is indeed a unintentional disabling of this control due to the XR plugin management not having been retrofitted in the panoramic shader UI. We'll repair this ASAP and backport to all versions where the discrepancy appears (2019.4, presumably).

I'm sure this is a very stupid and basic question, but if I want to make a "holster" where I can use the grab button to summon and attach a gun to my hand, kind of like Robo Recall's infinite gun holsters, would it make sense to just override everything in the holster's XRGrabInteractable to do nothing on attach except summon and trigger the gun model's OnSelect()?

#

Or, rather, can I have an item that's not really grabbable but responds to OnSelectEnter ?

leaden flame
mental sentinel
# leaden flame hmmmm def a couple different ways to do it. I might take an approach of doing a ...

I mean, instead of a distance check there is an OnHover between XRDirectInteractor and XRGrabInteractable so I could use that. I guess the "issue" is when you hit the Grab button while hovering over an XRGrabInteractable is that it will trigger the .Grab() on the "Holster" object and all that jazz. I could override the OnSelectEnter() to make it instantiate the Gun prefab and then trigger the Gun's OnSelectEnter() I guess which would then let the Gun's XRGrabInteractable do the rest? I think that would be the theory?

#

Like... kind of like I would be doing a switcharoo between the holster and the instantiated "gun"

#

I'm just worried that doing those overrides ont he Holster would have unintended effects

#

I guess I should just test it

#

I just don't know enough about XRBaseInteractable and stuff... and I JUST figured out that XRDirectInteractor actually doesn't do anything, and it's ALL in the XRGrabInteractable (I think).

#

Like... the XRDirectInteractor seems to have no understanding of what it's grabbing, only that it will trigger the GrabInteractable to go "Ok, Imma attach now!"

#

I'm still worried about the chain of events that happens to the XRGrabInteractable on the "Holster" object that might do weirdness

leaden flame
#

yeah that all makes sense to me, and yeah I'd dive in a just try out a couple different setups to see what works šŸ™‚

How do you correctly detect if a WMR controller has a trackpad using OpenVR ?

  1. OpenVR Legacy incorrectly reports the G2 having a track pad when it does not.
  2. OpenVR XR Plugin only reports the features of position and rotation, nothing about the buttons
  3. Unity needs to make a damn list of all device names so we can just use that instead.

basically: URP VR perf is dropping to unusable level on URP 11+ when using OpenXR at least

#

I didn't see similar drop when using OpenXR, 2021.1b and built-in or HDRP, it seems to be isolated to URP with 2021.1+

# vestal flicker Not interested in openxr at the moment. Need this for all unity versions.

oops, I misread and got confused with OpenVR XR plugin. That plugin is maintained by valve so that would be an issue you could raise on their github repo. AFAIK you have to use this plugin https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin and generate SteamVR input bindings like mentioned here https://valvesoftware.github.io/steamvr_unity_plugin/articles/Quickstart.html

Unity should provide information on the device names, especially for 2019 as those plugins are maintained by them. It's hard to believe the VR staff at Unity do not have various devices available to make this kind of information known for developers.

#

Thanks, the reverb just poses the issue since it's new and doesn't have the trackpad. I have other devices to get their names but this one is difficult to get because nobody has them yet.

#

I don't trust that steam will fix the issue, the reverb binds to the oculus....

Is there a way to develop vr games for the quest 2 using virtual desktop streamer app with unity? (So I can test my game without needing a usb-c cable)

wraith loom
glossy thistle
#

I'm not planing on releasing a game.

wraith loom
#

oh okay

#

do you want it to run standalone or tethered?

#

standalone requires no cable DURING gameplay but tends to have much lower quality while tethered requires a cable during gameplay and can yield much better FPS and quality

glossy thistle
wraith loom
#

what

glossy thistle
#

Oh

#

Standalone

#

It's almost 3 am for me so I'm getting a bit tired šŸ˜†

wraith loom
#

for standalone you would need to build it, sideload it, and then run it by itself which i did and yes it's tedious but it's the only way I found and on the plus side you get a more realistic feedback on how it will perform

#

but it'll automatically build and run it for you

#

so it's not THAT bad

#

just a bit tedious

glossy thistle
#

Oh ok.

wraith loom
#

but yeah I used to do that and it kinda is a pain lol

#

but it's the only way ;-;

ashen valley
#

But yes, you should run it as a Quest app if you're developing for a Quest. You'll get yourself in to a pickle if you only use Link.

#

There's stuff a rift can do that a quest can't.

#

By that, I mean the PC's video card vs mobile VR.

# glossy thistle Is there a way to develop vr games for the quest 2 using virtual desktop streame...

You can definitely run Unity projects straight from editors play mode via sideloaded VD patch on Quest 2. But you are then using it on SteamVR mode. This is fine if you are building pc vr game. If you want to build native quest app you would still want to deploy native android app to it (I havent tested this on q2 yet but I'd assume the workflow would be similar to nonVR android apps regarding the native app builds)

Use a cable, and get those retractable cables so that it keeps them out of your way.
Because it's pulling upwards it makes the headset lighter and less likely to fall if it's balanced on your head while you program or sitting on your desk.
Almost all the advantages of no cable, plus a few more advantages :)

Hey guys, anyone familiar with the seperation of OnSelectEnter/Exit into OnSelectEntering/Entered/Exiting/Exited?
Is there a particular order in which I have to call those functions to bind/release grabables from sockets?
I've got a problem with my bow and arrow, if I don't call it like

private void ForceDeselect()
{
        currentArrow.OnSelectExiting(this);
        currentArrow.OnSelectExited(this);
        base.OnSelectExiting(currentArrow);

Hey I'm going to be working on multiplayer stuff pretty soon. Would any of you guys be willing to help me test it? I only know like 3 dudes IRL with vr and they're all in my city.

leaden flame
#

Are you asking why you're getting false or why you're getting HeadMounted input device? it would also be helpful to know what platform you're running on and how you're testing. For example, I would expect that result from a windows MR headset or probably even a quest connected via Link.

#

and you're testing if on device, NOT connected to a PC correct?

#

the way oculus link works afaik is it emulates running a rift S, so that would have different results even if running on quest.

#

does the try get value work for the controllers?

#

just not from the HMD?

#

could be a bug, but I have a feeling when the battery level API was first made standalone headsets might not have been a thing so only controller battery data is being piped through šŸ¤”

#

@wicked gate just to follow up, can you tell me what version of unity you are using and what version of the oculus package?

I can run vrgame fine, and managed to use my headset in HDRP fine too on another project

Well, it's normal to see some jitter because our heads jitter without us noticing it since our brain and eyes are stabilizing it

But you shouldn't be noticing it inside the headset

So that sounds more like tracking jitter

#

Heyo, how can I change the fov of the desktop game view camera while in VR? It's very low and makes video capture frustrating

shell kayak
#

@fair loom By default, the desktop view is just a copy of one of the eyes of the VR view, but cropped so the edges of the view aren't visible.

#

For higher FOV, you need to make a separate camera that has the stereo target eye property set to None

#

Then it will render as a normal camera onto the main display and you can choose whatever FOV you want

#

But you also need to attach this camera to the head of player if you want it to follow it.

Ah okay thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a separate camera :)

I'm having avatar movement issues where the avatar mesh lags behind when the player rig uses the smooth locomotion. So it would be possible to have your head be inside the avatar mesh. I used a YouTube tutorial that uses the Animation Rigging package from Unity.

The controller input is checked in Update() while the actual move is done in FixedUpdate() within the same script to move the rig's rigidbody. In a different script, the avatar movement is also done in FixedUpdate to allow smooth movement since Update or LateUpdate results in the movement to be extremely jittery.

I parented the avatar to the player rig and that solved the lag issue but then there are issues with the player calibration to match the player's height with the avatar's even after inverse scaling the avatar to compensate for the altered scale of the player rig. I know VRChat is awesome with avatar movement but not sure how they relate the avatar to the player rig.

it stops moving but the scene moves with me

I don't recommend to not move the player if you walk in real life

The part where I make the trigger be able to shoot the gun I set up

It currently only plays with Keyboard Controls

#

But I am trying to make a controller based VR Game

#

With e.g. Valve Index Controllers, Oculus Touch Controllers, WMR and such

sinful delta
#

Just drag the script onto the xr grab intractable activate event and call what function you want. You may need to inherit from the grab intractable class to customize exactly how you want but that should let you at least shoot it.

regal raft
#

So I don't need any extra set up to make them work with the XR Controlls?

sinful delta
#

i mean if you just want to shoot then probably not. You can call the function you need from the grab interactable script

regal raft
#

hm.

#

What if I want to trigger a reload using the secondary button?

you would probably need extra logic for that

you should check out youtube. There are plenty tutorials how to do what im talking about.

Agreed, it's trying to be helpful, but it actually just hides what changes we need to do.
It'd be better if it gave a checklist and showed what was already set and what still needs to be changed, and maybe a button to change it automatically. Then we'd know what the different settings we need are.

@terse ingot I don't have a quest 2, so I can't answer your actual question. But in general I unit test the **** out of my code, and design enough separation of concerns so that I can build/test most things with a simulator. Like if I'm writing targetting code I'll literally just put a friendly unit to my right, an enemy to my left, and a pillar with an enemy half behind it, so all I need to do is spin to put the cursor over the different types of possible targets. I'll still test with the headset, but I won't have to keep going back and forth with it.

@storm ether the oculus integration can be used together with the xr toolkit too

storm ether
#

@tiny niche do u have an example, when or why u do it this way?

tiny niche
#

you'd only do this if you're unsure of which one to go with

storm ether
#

kinda lost here on what to do, i mean there are tons of tutorials... openxr, xr interaction. oculus integration, or not. just dont know what to follow

#

unity 2019 or 2020

#

its getting kinda messy...

it's pretty straightforward. go with 2020 if you're starting on a new project or plan on doing vr for the years to come

I'm having a problem that people that play my game after I upload it to Steam cannot press a few buttons or the buttons are wrong

So I found this option

Hi folks! I'm in need of implementing a slider for VR. The XRRayInteractor works with the UI components out of the box... I wanted to piggyback on the Slider functionality and implement one that would work with a XRDirectInteractor, is there a good way I should go about this or would I be better off implementing a XRInteractable to mimic the Slider behaviour? Thanks šŸ™‚

No

Is the stereo separation hiding somewhere for the camera on XR Rig? I'm getting nauseating distortion with head rotation. Using CV1, 2020.2.5, XR package.

Changing the OpenXR Runtime (Editor Instance Only) to Oculus fixed the camera stereo issue, however now play mode runs at about 2 frames per second. Is this common?

@wary junco that's the type of problem a co-routine is designed to solve. but you could also have a variable with the last release timestamp and measure the time between every new and old release as they happen

#

that's only half the double-click problem though. since every time you click in a new context, you need to reset the variable

#

what i suggested would not need a coroutine

#

it's basically OnRelease(){ if(time-preivous_time < max_delay) doubleclick(); previous_time=time;}

#

would be more efficient than a co-routine, but if you run into performance issues because of double-clicks then you should see a doctor

#

burst is not a silver bullet that makes everything faster automatically

#

and realistically speaking, there's going to be a limit of 1 vr rig per machine and it's very unlikely that it's ever going to involve more than 10 trackers

#

optimize the stuff that's using the 32gb ram then, multithreading the vr controls isn't going to do anything compared to that

#

i bet that even if you turn off the input handling completely, your framerate is going to be unaffected

Does anybody have tips on how to rapidly test VR multiplayer networking? I'm using Bolt. Things that I wish I could do to speed things up:

  1. Connect 2 VR headsets to my PC and test there, without having to send a build over to my laptop.
  2. Have a non VR player(s) in game or something like that, so you don't have to switch between two headsets.

I don't know what else I could do. It's a pain to either ask somebody for help every time or juggle two headsets.

sinful delta
#

@unreal crystal you could build and run build and editor on same machine. Add in some logic to select regular player/ simulated xr or vr player. That is how i do it anyways.

unreal crystal
sinful delta
#

xr toolkit has xr simulated built in.

unreal crystal
#

nice i didnt know that. I'll check it out then

tiny niche
#

@unreal crystal you could try running it off a unc path. then you'd only need to produce a build on one machine

#

and if you want to simulate a vr player, you could simplify things by just replicating the package transmissions

#

no need to simulate the device itself if you just want to observe it on the other machine

#

and a third alternative would be to take the incomming signals from one client and send them back as a different client id and on a different position. then you can observe yourself after a roundtrip to the server

unreal crystal
tiny niche
#

surely your server has some code where it recieves messages from 1 client and then broadcasts it to everyone else?

#

all you'd need to do is recieve the message, swap the id and then broadcast

unreal crystal
#

well I'm using Bolt which is high level API. Not sure if I can do that with them

tiny niche
#

yea might need to read some docs then. they probably have some calls for testing purposes

yeah I'll check it out.

Hello I am a student currently in my first immersive media development class. I am developing on my Quest V1. Our next project we have to implement special types of movement. One of the choices I was interested in implementing was tapping in place (by tracking feet). I tried a couple of google searches to get started but what I had found was for the vive though using it's lighthouses. I was was Wondering if there is a way to track feet movement with the quest v1. And if so does anyone have a link to a resource that could help me get started?

#

Also if Im asking this in the wrong channel please let me know

tiny niche
#

@mossy ridge everyone doing feet tracking is using vive trackers and a lighthouse setup

mossy ridge
#

@tiny niche I was afraid so. Thank you though for your quick response.

tiny niche
#

you could potentially hook something like a kinect up and implement full body tracking that way, but you're not gonna be able to do it if the quest is stand-alone

mossy ridge
#

I will probably just implement the portal option. But, Just spit balling Do you think i could implement a form of movement by tracking hand and or controller by have the user swing their arms like they are walking in place

#

or would that kinda be useless because they really couldn't do anything else

tiny niche
#

doing that is quite cumbersome and people prefer stick movement

#

the only game i know of where people do it for longer periods of time and enjoy it is sprint vector

@swift gull , @tiny niche have any of the contributing teams posted a pre-configured unity project folder we can just drop in and build on? (Would that even work?)

if you use vrtk, you'd still have the oculus integration installed

personally i'd avoid vrtk, since it's losing relevance with the new xr toolkit package

Makes sense

When i was initially doing research to see if i could use bolt and unity i saw something that said it would work with VRTK in the next update

vrtk and bolt should work fine together, you probably just have to hook it up yourself

Looking at the Unity Learn page for that project (Escape Room) I saw 2020.2 on the drop-down menu and it says "last updated Feb 28" - I got excited - but of course that's last year. Still can't quite get used to 2021.

So iā€™ve done this in the past, but i donā€™t quite remember how to get unity ready to build for quest

Oh and you need to change build os to KitKat or something

that and setting up the manifest

Not quite sure what you mean by that

tiny niche

the manifest tells android what type of app it is, what it's called, who made it and what permissions it needs, etc.

Right, and that would be in player settings under build settings?

Or am I miss remembering

no idea, it's been ages since i did an android app in unity

Hey, quick question ...

Is anyone here using the Oculus Quest 1/2 on OSX / Linux (Ubuntu/Pop) ?

Curious if its possible or if Vive is the only way ?

sinful delta
tacit spade
#

something like

if (using OculusController)
{
  SetVarible;
}
else
{
  SetOtherVariable;
}
sinful delta
tacit spade
#

No, those are just placeholders

sinful delta
#

well what do you have and whats not working?

tacit spade
#

I don't know what you mean by that, I have an "Oculus Touch Controller" and here is actually what I'm trying to do

if (_)
{
  CheckOculusGrip();
  CheckOculusTrigger();
  CheckTriggerTouch();
  CheckThumbTouch();
}
else
{
  CheckGrip();
  CheckTrigger();
}
sinful delta
#

my left touch controller for instance comes up as "Oculus Touch Controller - Left" so i would check if the left device name was equal to that

#

then if so set the variable etc

#

Does that make sense?

tacit spade
#

I get it but I don't know how to check if the device name is equal to what it is supposed to be

sinful delta
#

are you getting the name?

tacit spade
#

yes

sinful delta
#

so then save that into a variable and just compare to the name you want

#

post the code you actually have and i can see where you are going wrong

tacit spade
#

The code for what?

sinful delta
#

the code in the script that you are working with

tacit spade
#

I used this to detect the names for the devices

var inputDevices = new List<UnityEngine.XR.InputDevice>();
        UnityEngine.XR.InputDevices.GetDevices(inputDevices);

        foreach (var device in inputDevices)
        {
            Debug.Log(string.Format("Device found with name '{0}' and role '{1}'", device.name, device.role.ToString()));
        }
sinful delta
#

do you need to differentiate between left and right hands or no?

tacit spade
#

No I'm just trying to detect if the user is using an Oculus controller or not

sinful delta
#

so i think the oculus hmd comes up first in list every time right?

tacit spade
#

What?

sinful delta
#

what comes up in the list first?

#

the HMD, or controller?

tacit spade
#

In the console?

sinful delta
#

yeah

tacit spade
#

This is what comes up,

unknown.png
sinful delta
#

so id make a new variable like and do like this

#

You only really need the head right? You just trying to see if its oculus or not?

tacit spade
#

if checking the head is the only way i guess so

sinful delta
#

you can do controller also

#

which you rather?

tacit spade
#

controller

sinful delta
#

This should work for you

unknown.png
#

Then you can use the bool for your other if statement you want to use

I would've told you if that solved my problem but I can't right now cause when I try playing the game an hourglass appears and won't go away (this occured randomly)

Hey! I'm working on a room scale VR game using the Oculus Quest. We're preparing the room currently to improve trackability. Is there any tool to properly test how good visual markers work?

odd hare
#

Other than testing them directly to find out?

#

I don't know of any tools to give an objective measurement. And it also depends on lighting and how easily it can already track without markers.

vital spoke
#

There's such a perforated plate wall in the room, I'm hugely afraid of it. This is the test-stickers they've send me. Problem is a hen/egg one. I can't have them prepare the whole room because it's immensely expensive (like 20k Euros expensive... special type of tape, super durable so people can walk on it) but they kinda need my okay that this work out to properly start :/

DSCF0341_s.jpg
vital spoke
#

Just digged through the SDK. There's no option for the Quest to display the spatial point cloud as there is for the Rift, correct?

odd hare
#

I don't know, I don't have a quest. But I've read that it has a harder time with flat colour and repeating patterns.
So maybe you could try something like kids wallpaper, or large matte posters or something so the walls have different patterns. Might be just as easy for the headset to track, less expensive, and give you cooler decoration options.

#

And you can still use tracking stickers if they're better, but might not need as many as if they're the only thing for it to track.

#

I have a Persian carpet pattern, and a round Spider-Man mat (so you can feel the centre) and my phone has a really easy time tracking for AR.

#

My headset is reverb G2, I don't know how to test the tracking quality, but I've marked areas then covered over 50% of the view and the floor with white cardboard, and it still was able to keep the room boundaries in the same place. But I don't know how much of that is tracking, or whether it was falling back on accelerometers.

vital spoke
#

would love to do that but the customers design team wants it to be a monocolor pattern :/ Thanks though!

modern tangle
#

IIRC the cameras on the quest capture in monochrome anyway, so keep that in mind maybe.

#

so, monocolor should be no problem, it's more about the patterns. Maybe check to make sure that contrast is good in greyscale

#

When in doubt, reach out to Oculus

vital spoke
#

Yeah figured contrast is most important, as well as a unregular pattern.
This is what Oculus answered

Thank you so much for reaching out to Oculus for Business support.
There are no tools or debug test options in this case.
The best test in this case is use.

@tacit spade have you tried the workflow on some empty scene first? like just have empty project with some XR rig there. if that works, you can try to figure out step by step which thing breaks it

#

is there any easy way to measure (in your Unity code) the time it takes from unity Update() to display the frame on VR displays?

#

I'm thinking of some latency compensation here, but would need to be aware of the ballpark the current delay is

#

in ideal case, would be also nice to get some latency figures from the input

#

might be the wrong channel for that

alright my bad nvm

I'm setting up a simple scene using oculus integration. It's working fine except the screen often goes black seemingly out of nowhere, until I move my head.

#

I think it has to do with the coding that turns the screen black when you try to put your head into a wall, except it seems to be bugging.

#

Can I just disable that bit somehow?

Been using LUX essential for an upcoming VR project and while using the glass shader, it appears to render differently in each eye. I'm using Multi Pass with a Rift S. Anyone know what might be the issue?

Which one is it supposed to look like?

@storm ether The left one

Huh

#

Thats... very strange

Indeed, it's a very trippy effect when playing

#

a high-speed camera looking into the headset could do it though

#

yeah I was wondering if that is one of those things that is really difficult or if it's just something you have API already. The debug tools for VR API's have some of this info already but I guess they just don't pass it to client software

hi, does anyone know how to put 2 independent cameras (right, left), using google cardboard sdk xr-plugin?

wraith shale
#

I did also see there are things on Oculus API specifically that could be used but things I tested with mainly just didn't return any values on native Quest build

#

just to be clear, I'm not really saying I'd want to track the actual display refresh IRL but the time it takes for the software to reach the end hardware

#

had one that data, it would be somewhat trivial to take latency into account on hand controllers for throwing things etc

#

@true shale did you figure the mock thing out already?

true shale
#

haven't tested it in 2019 yet I started doing other code

wraith shale
#

yeah that's very possible, I think the new XR management setup was only getting more traction around 2019

Hi, i dissabled tracking and bounding system in quest, because im not using it in my app (position tracking on OVRCameraRig is dissabled), but when i try to run my app quest want to enable tracking. How can i prevent my app to demand tracking enabled?

I am using a water shader in Quest , and Between the ground and the ocean I am getting jittering and a strange deformation. It is not visible on editor , only on VR , but it happens in this area

Hello @everyone,

Has anyone work on integrating Dialogflow ES with unity before? I need help please

storm ether
#

Did you really try and ping everyone?

wraith shale
#

there's a good reason why pinging 51 000 people at once isn't enabled on this server

#

let that figure sink in šŸ˜„

#

is there a way to make those mobile vr games?
like the ones where you put a phone into a pair of vr goggles?

#

with unity of course

#

cricket noises

wraith shale
#

pretty sure most of the games made for it are made with Unity so it would be yes, you can do that šŸ™‚

#

there's some SDK for older Unity versions too if you don't want to use the current XR layer

#

Iā€™m using the oculus SDK to build to quest, but any canvas/Text i make wonā€™t show up on-device. It does show up in play mode in the editor though. Any ideas?

#

Iā€™m thinking it may be because itā€™s rendering to the central camera instead of the left/right camera but Iā€™m unsure

@storm ether put the canvas in world space

#

and look at one of the samples

i have heard of people who have managed to install a settings app on teh oculus quest 2
if anyone knows anything about this pls dm me

Can I put all the steamVR folders in one folder?

#

It just generates new folders when I do that

#

anyone know how i can test my Oculus Quest 2 game without having to build it each time in unity?

#

Or use virtual desktop from quest store to play wireless (it uses steamvr).

#

Cable could be more convenient

I have a problem with SteamVR. My editor runtime works good, no errors, all good. However, in my build it doesn't work right. It keeps saying that it can't find "OculusXRPlugin.DLL" and the only thing that comes close to fixing it is adding the Oculus checkbox in the XR Plugin Management settings
However, doing this makes my screen black and it doesn't work and nothing is right since it's not openVR i assume
so how come it works in the editor but not in the build? Is there any solution to this?

spiral oxide
#

so there is an sdk for cardboard vr.. is there any way i can make a custom controller for the google cardboard where the camera scans a code on the controller and it senses its motion?

#

sort of like the paperstick or realcontrol?

tiny niche
#

@spiral oxide its a phone, you can connect any bluetooth controller to it

#

just need to build one with inside out tracking

#

but if you want the phone to track it, you're only gonna get relative positions and be limited to roughly a 20x20x20 cm space directly in front of the phone camera

#

and autofocus is going to kill the tracking while it moves

daring temple
#

does the wireless virtual desktop app support unity?

wraith loom
#

fixed, just uninstalled the Oculus XR plugin

daring temple
#

i am working on a quest 2 standalone game

#

do i use xr plugins or ovr plugins

#

i see tons of tutorials with conflicting info

Depends a bit on which version of Unity you're using but XR Plugin management and the com.unity.xr.oculus package is what enables building for the Oculus platform (desktop and rift). The asset store oculus integration https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/oculus-integration-82022 enables oculus specific functionality like Avatars, Oculus Input, Audio Spatializer.

Since you're just targeting a quest 2 app you'll want to enable the xr package in Unity and grab the asset store integration

Hey guys i have a question about Unity XR , in XR once i have created a application or game i can configure the systems for all VR Headset right ? And also XR is supporting HTC vive ?

tiny niche

@glass furnace unity xr has lots of plugins for different headsets, but there's an open xr plugin preview for it that's pretty much a universal one
