OSVR-Unity Asset for Linux/Ubuntu version of Unity

[davidchu2000]

Is there a Linux version of OSVR-Unity Asset? The one I downloaded seems to be for Windows only. After imported into Ubuntu Unity, the server path is hardcoded for Windows. I believe this could be the problem my Unity cannont connect to OSVR server.

Nope, but if you have the OSVR libraries (osvrClient.so, osvrCommon.so, etc.), you should be able to copy them into the plugins folder. Let me know if this works.

RenderManager in Unity via the Unity Rendering Plugin is not yet supported: https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-Unity-Rendering/issues/5

To clarify, the steps to take are: 1) build OSVR-Core on Linux, 2) copy the osvr___.so files from the lib directory to the Plugins folder in Unity. 3) make sure the .so files are set to Linux in Unity.

I copied about 13 libosvr*.so to my Unity 3D project plugin directory (i.e. ~/unity3d_projects/monkeyrun/Assets/Plugins/x86_64) wen I brought up the OSVR Utility , I still saw the OSVR Directory path is Windows' path. And when I clicked on "print tree" button, there was not re-action. None of the buttons were enabled.

The utilities pane is separate functionality from the actual in game usage of the plugin, it's just a launcher for some utilities that are built with OSVR Core or commonly distributed with it. The failure of those launchers should not affect being able to actually load and create content using the OSVR assets.

You probably don't want them in x86_64 folder, since that's confusing and Unity may default them to the wrong platform based on folder name, but it should still work once you've verified the .so files are marked for Linux. Run the server normally and then play in Unity. The editor utils won't work on linux but are not necessary.

Basically I'd like to verify the osvr core/server I built on Linux. I don’t have a HMD at this moment. I tried the command line osvr_print_tree and osvr_reset_yaw, they seemed to be able to talk to the server.

I wonder what the next step I can do? Preferably something more graphical.

[DuFF14]

You can run in extended mode with the window on the main monitor, and adjust display settings in the config file, but I'm not sure if the changes will take effect as-expected without a HMD connected. https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-Core/blob/master/apps/sample-configs/osvr_server_config.renderManager.HDKv2.0.extended.json
