Wave SDK for Unreal 5.1

[Dan Lauer]

 

Does anyone have any insight into when the WaveVR plugin will be available for Unreal 5.1?

I have a full simulation built in UE5.1 and need to get it working with the Vive Focus 3.  Since there is no easy way to downgrade a UE project, I need to decide if I should completely rebuild in 5.0 (which could take a week or so), or just wait for ... well that's the question.

Hi @Dan Lauer,

To support Unreal 5.1 on our next update in March is under development.

However we still have some integration issues with UE 5.1, so we may release first our support on OpenXR plugin soon.

For WaveVR plugin, once we have earlier progress, will let you know if we can try to provide Beta version for your trial. Will keep you posted.

Thanks Tony!

I guessing that one of your issues is getting it all to work with the new UE Enhanced Input system.

I would be thrilled to try out the Beta version.

Hello, 

What's the news about the support of UE 5.1? Still for the Vive Focus 3. 
Do you have an expected date for this update? 

I have the same needs as Dan, creating a project in 5.1 and it would be boring to redo everything on the previous version (importance of Lumen and Nanite).

Thank you in advance for your answers

Hi @Tony PH Lin,
we are waiting for the OpenXR Plugin for Unreal 5.1. You wrote the Update for the OpenXR-Plugin should be released soon. Do you have a date for that?

Hi @Tony PH Lin,
That's great. Thanks for the new PlugIn. The Plugin for PC-VR ha no update as far as I have seen. Do you know, when this will be released?
