Thus tutorial guides you through how to set up a basic plain in Unity VR along with interactive hands that follow those of the user and mimic their movement. The end product should look as follows:
video-1613635023.mp4Requirements:
Either a Windows machine or a Windows virtual machine (like Paperspace)
Virtual Desktop (follow step 2 of this guide for set-up instructions)
Oculus Quest 2
Note: This tutorial is based largely on the video 'How to Make a VR Multiplayer Gama - Part 1' by the YouTuber Valem. It does not follow the tutorial verbatim, however.
Steps:
Open Unity Hub
Click the down arrow next to the button that reads 'New' and pick version 2019.4.19f1
If you are operating a later version of Unity, the instructions in this video may prove more relevant
Name your project and make sure to choose a 3D template before clicking 'Create'
Go to Window > Package Manager
Select the dropdown menu that reads advanced, and from there pick 'Show preview packages'
Scroll down to 'XR Interaction Toolkit' and click Install
Note: your project may potentially restart after this step, depending on your input system
Exit the Package Manager and go to Edit > Project Settings > Player
Under 'XR Settings', check off 'Virtual Reality Supported'
Make sure to also include all of the headset types you want to support
In Project Settings still, click on 'XR Plugin Management' and click install
Similarly, check off the boxes relevant to the headset(s) you'd like to support
Note: if you get a pop-up that looks like this, click Ok
Right-click the Main Camera, go under XR, and select 'Room-scale XR Rig (Action-based)'
At this point, your hierarchy should look as follows:
Click on both the RightHand and LeftHand Controllers
In the Inspector toolbar, remove the XR Rig Interactor, then the XR Interactor Line Visual, and then the Line Renderer
The order of the final two matters, you will run into an error if you do it the other way around
To delete a component, right click the title and then select 'Remove Component'
Right-click the hierarchy toolbar, select 3D Object, then Plane
