How do you debug on Focus with Unity?

[Aymeric]

Hey,

I made some VR with HTC Vive, the workflow wasn't perfect but it was ok : a simple play in the Unity editor, and you remove quickly the helmet you grab the error etc.

Debugging on the Vive Focus is an other challenge. How do you do guys? I compile with development build and script debugging, and I set the console for remote, but I must leave my helmet to see if I've an error.
I found this plugin https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/vr-console-106491 it works ok : just put the console in the scene and you have live error & log.

What process are you using?

Have you tried DirectPreview before?

Hi @chengnay,

Thanks for the answer! My concern is mainly for debugging interaction issues with controllers. Please, also note that I found an issue in every demo of the VUI https://github.com/ViveSoftware/ViveInputUtility-Unity/issues/169

The direct preview seems to be nice, but it works only for Windows, right?

myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\Windows\\system32\\cmd.exe";
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c adb install -r -d Assets/Plugins/wvr_plugins_directpreview_agent_unity.apk";

OK, I will take a look at the issue you found, thanks!

Yup, direct preview only works for Windows platform.

We use TextMeshPro to create debug objects within a scene and use that to display error logs within the headset. @chengnay
