Hey, on the 25:07 time you clicked on the Oculus tap. I don’t see the Oculus tab in the drop down menu. How can I get the Oculus tab in the drop down menu?

[@Tangierer]

Thank you so much for your videos. Noob here :) I'm glad you keep up the pace of unity. Oh man, jumping to your third video now, because unity is so fast on updating. I've just figured out, that menue names are already renamed and positions switched. Keep going and good luck with your game idea ;) I'll keep my eyes open on how to support you with this. Your effort on tutorials and teaching people should be rewarded!

GOOD GRACIOUS, Justin you are the freakin' man. i have been watching tutorials for about 2 years, primarily for Game dev. but this is hands down the most complex system i have ever seen BUT BRO........ you make it so simple and easy to understand thank you thank you thank you. i am looking forward to making a full-on RPG in VR.

Nice totorial, good sir. I like it. What now I'm looking for is the easy way to have so called "physical hands" with all basic gestures.

[@JustinPBarnett]

Working on it!

[@HenshinAsset]

@@JustinPBarnett Is there a easy way to have different hand positions based on what you grab? Eg. Holding a card with fingers in different positions compared to holding a sphere where your fingers are around the object

[@nastykhan7746]

@@HenshinAsset Up. Also what about different joints at the same object? Ever seen "Battle Talent"? You can use weapons there like axes and you can grab them in different places and in both directions.

[@AriIskanderKrohnBerle]

If you get errors like these: "Enable Input Tracking' is enabled, but Position and/or Rotation Action is disabled. The pose of the controller will not be updated correctly until the Input Actions are enabled." You need to go to the "Input Action Manager (Script)" that he added to the Game Object "XR Rig" and go to "Action Assets" and click the "+" sign and add "XRI Default Input Actions".

Thanks! great video! Help a lot! But I have a question , so far I'm using oculus quest 2 , and when I enter the sample scence , two eyes display is overlay , see one object in both eyes ,each eye have same object (the best I can describe , in the link mode empty space , everthing looks good , but once in the sample scence , the display looks wrong , looks like something wrong on focal length) and cause dizzy , I change the openXR play mode openXR runtime as Oculus but didn't work , does any possibility I can fix?

This. Preview packages no longer seem to show up in unity 2021, even when the "pre-release packages" are enabled. Is there a workaround?

[@JustinPBarnett]

[@JustinPBarnett]

Thanks and welcome!

[@DemsterDog]

FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T FIND THE XR INTERACTION TOOLKIT WHEN EVEN AFTER YOU ENABLE PREVIEW PACKAGES. 1. Open Package Manager 2. Top left corner, click on the + icon: Add package from git URL 3. Type ( com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit ) or you could just copy it ;) 4. Hit enter 5. Wait a second and it will be installed automatically.

[@JonTopping]

At 13:20, I think now it's called XR Origin (Action Based). Turning on gizmos no longer creates the boundary box, but it does show the camera view cone. How do you turn on the boundary box now? It would be nice to go over using the actions for the controllers in a script. I know the example scene probably has enough that I could rip it out, but do you have a video that will go over using the XR controls in scripts? (For example, suppose I want grab to equip something, or pulling trigger to create a bezier to throw a grenade farther the harder I press down trigger, or pushing X brings up menu, etc.) Any videos for that? Also, how do you get the character to interact a bit more? I have a sphere collider on a large hill, and the character just walks right through it. I tried attaching a capsule with collider to the XR rig, but it just stays put and doesn't move with the rig (which is confusing). Also, because I have things like the Index and stuff supported too, whenever I click play I'm getting three error messages for the other devices, because I'm only using a Quest 2. Is there any way to have those errors never show up, since it's something I don't have to worry about?

I just really hope this will go well.

[@JustinPBarnett]

Have you seen the game Crunch Element? That one looks pretty similar to what you want to build. Maybe could pick up a few ideas

[@gnomge]

@@JustinPBarnett ill check it out, thanks, btw could you do a tutorial for interactor sockets? i need to make 1 with infinite supply of whatever is in it, and one that auto picks up the object after the player has dropped it, also a tutorial for AI? all of these are suggestions and i'd be happy to see the tutorials, cuz I couldn't find a single one about the sockets that suited me, the only one was with steamvr, also one to add a character model to the XR rig? yeah I need a lot of help, the tutorial worked btw and thanks

[@iolav9073]

I had the same question lol

[@dqvld]

Love your video, and I am pretty sure I followed along, but after adding the action manager, the "lasers" do not move, it is just stuck on the floor. I am using Oculus Quest, and launching it directly on the device. The controllers do work correctly in the ControllerSample scene. I noticed my project did not contain an event system, and I added that but it did not help. Perhaps that is only for UI elements.

[@jluec]

I had this same issue! Make sure you have an 'Input Action Manager' component added to your XR Rig

[@Project-NSX]

Hi Justin. Great video! Thanks for posting it. Just wondering: Is there any need to modify the "Fixed Timestep" in Project Settings > Time? In other tutorials that don't use OpenXR I've seen this modified so that physics calculations are performed more often, which helps to prevent some stuttering on objects. Thanks!

[@JustinPBarnett]

Yes that's right! Default is 0.2s but you can change it in Project Settings > Time

Awesome video! Maybe it was covered in one of the previous tutorials, but on the OpenXR config screen displayed at about 4:50, the "Play Mode OpenXR Runtime" is set to System Default. On my installation it was set to "System Default (None set)" so I wasn't getting anything displayed on my Quest 2. Changing that to "Oculus" resolved it and I was able to debug in the headset. Not sure how I change the default, but for now it's working well with that setting. Can't wait for more tutorials!

Hey I am following everything exactly and getting this error. I can't find the fix after an hour. Any tips? 'Enable Input Tracking' is enabled, but Position and/or Rotation Action is disabled. The pose of the controller will not be updated correctly until the Input Actions are enabled. Input Actions in an Input Action Asset must be explicitly enabled to read the current value of the action. The Input Action Manager behavior can be added to a GameObject in a Scene and used to enable all Input Actions in a referenced Input Action Asset.

Hey Justin, this is a great tutorial but now as of Dec 2021 is out of date - it also only works on PC, not Mac. Would you consider making an updated video using a Mac running Unity 2021.x.x? The XR Interaction Toolkit has been updated to v2 and now XR Rig has been replaced with XR Origin. I've spent the last 3 days solid trying to get Unity 2021.2.5f1 for Mac to build to an Oculus Quest 2, I've followed your tutorial and several others over and over and varied every possible setting and I still cannot get it to work. It seems like you can only build for Oculus using a PC running Unity 2020.x.x - I would love to be proven wrong about this. Also, would love to be able to use my Mac M1 Max to build in Unity.

I follow every single step in this video to setup the project and the interaction with my Oculus Quests 2 controllers are working fine but the distance between the two eyes is wrong. Do you know if there is a way to configure this parameter? It's like the right and left cameras are far from each other resulting in duplicate object when seeing through the headset. Thanks! Edit: The only thing that it's different in my setup is that I'm using AirLink instead Link cable as I don't have one. Worth to mention.

[@LuxBacelo]

Solved! Had to change render mode to Multi Pass. I found that with Single Pass only the left eye was rendering, the right eye was showing the same that the left eye and that's why it creates the effect of bad stereo separation.

[@DarthHunter5]

So if I get this right, the XR interaction toolkit gives me a rig and generic controller interface for all my device APIs, so it would work cross-platform on Vive Wave, OpenXR and WMR, for instance? But if I want device-specific controller viewmodels including visual feedback on button presses, that needs to be created and aligned from scratch, right?

[@JustinPBarnett]

Not from scratch! The new input system supports either generic inputs (how the input system is mapped default) and specific interactions per device. Just have to change the action inputs

[@DarthHunter5]

@@JustinPBarnett I don't mean the input functionality, but rather the visualization with corresponding viewmodels per platform (e.g. show Index Controller including button presses when those controllers are used). I did notice however, that the Vive Input utility comes with a lot of viewmodels that could probably be built into the rig prefab. Or I could start off with the Vive Input utility to begin with.

Just a heads up, it appears they made some slight tweaks to how the OpenXR plugin settings look within the Project Settings. When he says there's an edit button after fixing all the warnings that pop-up, just go to the "features" drop down under OpenXR. This is now where you select which input profiles are available in your game, rather than directly in the OpenXR option.

and the oculus touch controllers aren't taking any input, which makes sense because the error mentions that it couldn't get it.

Hi Justin, does the setup work using unity on macOS?

[@JustinPBarnett]

The only difference for mac is that you won't be able to test in play mode. You'll need to run a build every time you want to test your application

[@Yintalk]

Great work but how do I send it as an APK file to my Quest 2? The build and run setting doesn't seem to work

Hi, i use Oculus Quest 2 and i have a problem that when i am in my oculus in link mode my left eye is ok, but my right is glitched, it moves weird and its bugged, its like it is moving differently and it moves like when i turn it goes front littlebit. Hope u can help me, i would love to do a vr game. (Sorry for bad english), thank you

Change your render mode from single-pass to multi!

22:36 yes, please!! ... and im always the left handed sucker that's like. 'Oh wow! Thanks! Let me try left handed mode'

[@JustinPBarnett]

Right?!

[@gyongyidomokos5434]

Dear Justin, thank you very much for your videos, very helpful, however, I became a little bit confused. If we can solve movements with basic xr why is it worth downloading Hurricans, Hexabody, and Final K (based on your game-making video)?

[@JustinPBarnett]

Becasue they have a whole bunch of pre-coded features that you won't have to make from scratch!

[@SfantuSS]

Can you please point me to the right direction ? I wanna start developing with my Oculus CV1 and i need a good tutorial on how to do the set-up for it, i tried a couple but i always end up with the same problem. When i play the game in unity is just renders on the flat screen, not into my headset. Thanks a lot !

Hey love your content! I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on material. Or essentially how to make things that aren’t just blocks or look like blocks?

I have done the same settings as you but when i press play nothing happens in the VR, running oculus quest 2, I am connected with cable to computer. Any ideas

[@ProdigiaGames]

Just out of curiosity... what do you feel is limiting about the VR template? I just updated and gave it a try and it seemed pretty clean, but admittedly haven't had too much opportunity to really dig in.

[@ProdigiaGames]

That aside, great video! I'll definitely consider applying some of these tactics to my boilerplate project startup. Putting together a nice robust starting point has always been a hassle for me. EDIT: Lefties unite!

[@JustinPBarnett]

Lefties unite! The problem I have is that it doesn't have the XR Interaction Tookit in the template and I use that for all my interactions

[@ironsniper13]

If I may add some insight on the tutorial videos, due to KZbin's compression, there have been times where you'll drag and drop something without really explaining what you did, and the mouse curser is almost invisible. I had to rewatch a few times to figure out why my stuff wasn't working only to realize at some point, for .5 seconds, you dragged a script and put it somewhere. I love how in-depth you're being otherwise, but maybe make it a little more clear when doing something like that.

[@JustinPBarnett]

Good tip! In future videos I'll increase the screen resolution and add in a cursor highlighter

[@ironsniper13]

@@JustinPBarnett it's most likely a KZbin compression issue

22:36 interesting. I am lefty too and I hate when movement is on the left controller (which is always the standart right handed layout). I need my movement on the off-hand which would be the right controller. :)

So, I am having an issue when after I build the project for the android platform and go into my headset the application is booted up as a window. It doesn't allow me to actually explore the environment in VR. Any ideas? The editor will allow the headset in playmode but building and running on standalone seems to have issues. I have looked up this issue everywhere and there seems to be nothing.. Send Help! Love the video by the way, This is what I used to get started in VR development.

[@JustinPBarnett]

You'll want to check the oculus plugin on the android tab instead of OpenXR. I just put out an update video!

Hey Justin, I am working on a VR project in unity for an exhibition but we are all literally newbies at VR. We are using Oculus Quest & Rift for this project and have been able to set up a basic scene with your basic XR tutorials. We aim to not have controllers present for the experience, but use gaze input with animated reticle for a timed decision. We are having a bunch of trouble implementing this, and seemingly we have to ditch everything else we have made for a complete different VR project process using OVR (Which hasn't gone well). Any tutorial we find is literally 6-4 years old, and I was wondering if you could cover this. Thanks.

[@JustinPBarnett]

Hmmm join the discord and we can help you figure something out!

Hey, can we get a Half Life Alyx graphics level with Unity for VR? I have tried recent games like Propagation that look awfully low res and I wonder why that is. Just the devs using low res models and textures? With baking can I get the fidelity of the PC but in VR, more or less?

[@JustinPBarnett]

You can, but it has to be PC only and highly optimized. Basically have to treat standalone headsets like mobile phones in terms of processing power
