my game is giving build errors and I feel it's cos I didn't import the google cardboard SDK, but it keeps giving me errors on any line of code that says DayDream from the imported sdk what do I do?

[@1LifeStudio]

Do you know how we can embed this project (VR + google cardboard) into an Android app e.g. making this project an Android library and using it in native android?

[@madsoncaminha2517]

Hello sir, i tried same steps but when i play the game the camera is frozen, no pointers appears or alt let me change the camera, do you have any idea what could possibly be? I'm really struggling

[@turanylmaz1848]

Hello, I have done everything that needs to be done. But I can't move it with the mouse. It just zooms. Where am I doing wrong?

[@Mr.Epsilion]

Hello Sir, I have one question for you, do you know, a Vulkan doesn't support at Cardboard?

[@ColdFlameStudios]

No, Vulkan does not support Cardboard and you'll have to remove it from the list to properly run the app.

Hi, I think I did everything that you did in the tutorial but every time I open the app on my phone I get nothing but a black screen. Would you have an idea of what I should do to do it right?

[@d35a13g2]

Nevermind, I had to set the graphics API to OpenGLES2 instead of 3, like you said in the video.

[@anirudhnv7389]

@@d35a13g2I tried it with opengles2 and it still didn't work. Can u share your projects files please.

[@cricadev]

THANKS, is there a way to run it on the editor? what if I want to make a game, so I will have to build everytime I want to do a new change? that sounds like a lot of work

[@Shivyyy]

hey if you find a way lmk pls thanks

[@ColdFlameStudios]

Unfortunately with mobile development, building every time is the norm. 2021/2022 do have a streaming build feature for your phone that speeds the process up, but it is still tedious.

[@reidyensam]

Thank crack, Can I use VR just in one scene? or in especifics scenes (I need it)... help me please

[@ColdFlameStudios]

Copied from my reply to a comment on the iOS video: In the scene without VR, I would try making a script on an empty gameobject that contains in Start(): XRGeneralSettings.Instance.Manager.DeinitializeLoader(); It may also be XRSettings instead of XRGeneralSettings. To turn it back on for the other scene, put in that scene a similar script in the same fashion: XRGeneralSettings.Instance.Manager.InitializeLoader();. If you're using the XR Plugin Management System as in this video.

[@reidyensam]

@@ColdFlameStudios thank you master, I am a newbie to UNITY, maybe you can upload a video, I would greatly appreciate it.

[@HOPEX00]

If i already have a AR camera then what will i do to make it in VR you told that you have to delete old camera then how do I access the AR camera???

[@HOPEX00]

Pls help me sirrr

[@HOPEX00]

Can we edit prefab and put AR camera instead main camera????? But how??

[@hercaici]

Why you dont test it on Unity..Normaly when you click on the play button,you could test it before publishing...Do you thing it doesnt work ?? No GVR editoremilator

[@ColdFlameStudios]

There are a few plugins and ways to let you test it in the editor, but by default it is hardly useful.

[@biswasnilot]

Have you figured out how to do it? As I am used to making apps using gvrEditorEmulator. But here it seems very different.

[@trimberg]

thank u very much! after that i have error with api version, and if u have same one - write under my comment, i try to help u

[@biswasnilot]

Can we view the example in play mode? Here I see the you can test the game after building only.

[@ColdFlameStudios]

Unfortunately mobile testing is quite limited and without plugins (Or streaming using the new 2021/2022 features) you're stuck building every time you want to test the app.

[@biswasnilot]

@@ColdFlameStudios Ok. Thank you for the info

[@jamielin7278]

@@ColdFlameStudios hello can i check what plugins may i use to test the scene without building it? Could i operate it by using the mock hmd first?

[@legitmelon1553]

hey i have a gradle build fail and got numerous errors, can u help me fix it?

[@ColdFlameStudios]

There are usually two reasons for this. First try going to Edit->Preferences, go to External Tools, and check the box next to Android SDK Tools. You may need to find and specify your android SDK file path manually after this. If that doesn't work Go to Edit->Project Settings->Player->Publishing settings->Tick Custom Properties Gradle Template then go to the newly generated "gradleTemplate . properties" (Spaces added to prevent link) and add these lines to the top: android.useAndroidX=true android.enableJetifier=true After if that doesn't work, deleting the Library folder could help, but that's not a great thing to do, look up other solutions first.

[@manrajbhachu8242]

did you figure it out i have the same problem

[@gerrymg]

I got a blue screen in my phone, can you help me?

[@ColdFlameStudios]

I can think of two reasons you might have a plain blue screen. It's a settings or configuration issue. 1. Make sure the scene in Build Settings is the scene you want in VR, and remove any unwanted scenes. 2. Make sure Vulkan is removed from the Player Settings as shown in the video.

[@gerrymg]

@@ColdFlameStudios Thanks bro. It was vulkan.

[@LaTrefle]

Is it possible to make ar games work with google cardboard?

[@ColdFlameStudios]

For AR you'll need to use ARCore (Android) or ARKit (iOS). developers.google.com/ar/develop/unity/quickstart-android

[@LaTrefle]

@@ColdFlameStudios yes, i know that, but i want to do a VR game that is also an AR. I was thinking to develop the game in AR and then add stereosvopic view for cardboard viewing. Is it possible?

[@ColdFlameStudios]

@@LaTrefle There may be a way to convert the Google Cardboard VR camera setup for AR, like this: assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/ar-vr-mr-camera-mixed-reality-with-google-cardboard-xr-plugin-ar-179433?aid=1100lGft&. Off the top of my head I can't think of how they did it, but it indicates that Google Cardboard contains this feature and they brought it out using the AR background renderer.

[@LaTrefle]

@@ColdFlameStudios thank you so much for the answer, i'll try it out!

[@kaanylmaz1008]

​@@LaTrefle i made one with "Vuforia" for AR + google cardboard, not so hard.
