Unity VR project template

Unity’s VR project template provides a starting point for virtual reality development in Unity. The template pre-installs the packages you need for VR development and is pre-configured with headset and controller tracking in the Scene hierarchy.

Unity directly supports the following VR platforms:

• Oculus
• Windows Mixed Reality

For more information on how to start developing apps for these platforms in Unity, refer to their documentation in the list above.

If you are planning to target Valve’s OpenVR platform, you must download Valve’s OpenVR Unity XR Plugin and their SteamVR Unity Plugin for input.

To use the VR project template, follow these steps:
