This project is based on a template for working with OVR hand tracking in Unity. The TrackingScene
contains a minimal scene with everything needed to get started. In addition, the project comes with:
.gitattributes
file pre-configured for Unity.To speed up compile times, the project splits up your code from third party code to avoid recompiling files which have not changed. This means that your code should live in the Assets/Project/Runtime
directory. This also means that you must update the Project.Runtime.asmdef
Assembly Definition file when importing third party libraries. In some IDEs such as Rider 2022 this can be done for you automatically.
Due to a bug in the OVR hand tracking implementation of OpenXR, you must use different backends depending on how you launch the project. By default, the project uses the Legacy LibOVR+VRAPI
backend, enabling you to run hand tracking in Unity PlayMode over Oculus Link. However, when you wish to build the project into an Android apk-file, you must change the backend to OpenXR
. This is done through Oculus > Tools > OVR Ultilities PLugin > Set OVRPlugin to OpenXR
. If you wish keep working in the editor afterwards you simply select Set OVRPlugin to Legacy LibOVR+VRAPI
in the same menu. Remember to switch your platform to Android before building. You do not have to switch back afterwards.
