OpenVR XR SDK Package

The purpose of this package is to provide OpenVR rendering to Unity XR. This package provides the necessary sdk libraries for users to build Applications that work with the OpenVR runtime. The OpenVR XR Plugin gives you access to rendering on all major VR devices through one interface. Explicit support for: HTC Vive, HTC Vive Cosmos, Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, Oculus Quest (link), Windows Mixed Reality, and Valve Index. Other SteamVR compatible devices are supported though may have inaccurate or incomplete features.

Input

As part of our commitment to OpenXR we will begin targeting the OpenXR API in future versions of our game engine plugins.

For now, to get access to controllers and other forms of input you will need to install the latest SteamVR Unity Plugin. This can be found on the Unity Asset Store (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/steamvr-plugin-32647) or GitHub (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin/releases).

Known Issues:

  • Display Provider
    • In some circumstances the unity console will show errors on start saying "screen position out of view frustrum". This should not impact visuals.
    • OpenVR Mirror View Mode (default) can cause black screens in the game view. Please send us bug reports if this happens.
    • OpenVR Mirror View Mode requires use of Linear Color Space (Project Settings > Player > Other Settings > (Rendering) Color Space)
