Documentation
SteamVR PC Demo
Designed to expand the existing OpenXR and Enhanced Input System Frameworks provided by Epic Games. The goal of this plugin is to make VR development both faster and easier to develop, no matter your experience level.
The template is designed to provide a framework for the most necessary features required to create a VR experience suitable for Mobile VR (Oculus Quest 1 - 2- Pro, Vive Focus 3, Pico neo) to all Desktop VR HMD's.
This means the project is not Physics based, other than player movement. This was a design choice to improve performance on mobile platforms.
Built with modularity in mind the template and its features have been designed to allow you to enable/disable unwanted features easily through multiple struct and some features can also be deleted completely if required. No more digging through individual blueprints and variables to turn features on or off. Decide what features your project requires and use only those. You can also enable or disable these during runtime with a set of custom functions provided.
Detailed Features List:
All features can be modified, enabled/disabled during runtime if required.
