dario Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi all, Please note there is a new VIU update (v1.11.0) now on the asset store and one of the new features is support for the new Unity XR architecture using Valve's OpenVR XR Plugin. Please note that the OpenVR XR Plugin is in preview! Currently only preview 2 is supported - so please only use that one for now. This version supports Unity XR input, you'll need the SteamVR plugin to support the latest SteamVR input system. If you installed a later release first you may run into issues so please use the instructions here and install it using the git URL: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin/tree/UnityXRPlugin This works in the editor but to make builds you'll also need to add this patch: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steamvr_unity_plugin/issues/713 Also note if using SteamVR Unity Plugin v2.6.0b2 see the following fix: https://github.com/ViveSoftware/ViveInputUtility-Unity/issues/184 For those visiting here for the first time - welcome and feel free to ask questions - VIU code can be ported between PC and Android e.g. Vive/Rift/Quest/Wave now including the new Unity XR plugins (for Wave devices a Unity XR plugin is forthcoming - for now use "Unity Mock HMD"). What this means is that you can use URP and more of the latest from Unity across platforms and devices from a single code base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dario Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 One more thing for those who use the simulator - you'll need to disable the Open VR Loader in the XR Plug-in Management Settings if you see a black screen. For those who haven't used the simulator you can use the keyboard for fine control of the hmd and controllers and choose from many contorller models to display when debugging/developing in the editor without wearing a device.

chengnay Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hi all, In order to use VIU (v1.11.0) to work with SteamVR Unity Plugin (v2.6.0b2/v2.6.0b3) and OpenVR XR Plugin preview4/preview5, below quick fix is required. Replace 2 files from the attached file viu_v1.11.0_patch.zip Assets/HTC.UnityPlugin/VRModule/Modules/SteamVRModule.cs Assets/HTC.UnityPlugin/ViveInputUtility/Scripts/Editor/VRPlatformSettings/OpenVRSettings.cs NOTE: OpenVR XR Plugin preview4 and preview5 CANNOT run without SteamVR Unity Plugin (v2.6.0b2/v2.6.0b3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chengnay Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 @mindless2831 Actually VIU v1.12.0 already published to Asset Store as well as Unity Package Manager. You don't need that zip file if you updated VIU to latest version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to use 2.6.0b2 or 3? This is a mess lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengnay Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 @mindless2831 You should be able to use SteamVR Plugin v2.6.1 with latest OpenXR Plugin and VIU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
