The Complete List of Sample Unity VR Projects

Hey guys, I wanted to put together a list of my favorite sample projects that you can grab and learn from.

In my opinion, these projects are pure goldmines, they don’t just showcase design principles around specific features but also provide direct examples of how to use them, which is especially important right now for something like a hackathon.

For an even larger collection of Meta samples, see the GitHub list of all Meta sample repos here:
