Meta XR Simulator Setup Tutorial

Below is a tutorial organized based on the provided file content for setting up the Meta XR Simulator, based on GiovanniCocchiara's testing.

1. Download and Extract

1. Download Files:
   • Go to the official website and download v71 and v74 versions of Meta XR Simulator.
2. Extract Files:
   • Extract both versions to your local system.

2. File Copy Operation

1. Open the meta_xr_simulator_v71 folder and navigate to the path:
   meta_xr_simulator_v71\package\MetaXRSimulator.

2. Copy the MetaXRSimulator folder to the following path:
   meta_xr_simulator_v74\package.

3. If prompted about duplicate files, choose Skip Duplicate Files.

3. Configure UE-Oculus 5.5

1. Open UE-Oculus (version 5.5).
2. Go to the project settings:
   • Project Settings > Plugins > MetaXR.

4. Configure Meta XR Simulator

It is mandatory to use meta_xr_simulator_v74 for configuration.

In the MetaXR plugin settings, complete the following configurations:

1. Meta XR Simulator JSON File:

   • Set the path to:
     .../MetaXRSimulator/meta_xr_simulator_v74/package/MetaXRSimulator/meta_openxr_simulator.json

2. Meta XR Synthetic Environments:

   • Set the path to:
     .../MetaXRSimulator/meta_xr_simulator_v74/package/MetaXRSimulator

5. Setup Complete

After completing the above steps, the Meta XR Simulator is now properly configured and ready for use.

The setup was successfully tested in the latest UE Oculus 5.5.1 Phanto test project with image rendering as a reference.

Unfortunately, the engine's built-in MetaXR project has not been successfully configured yet. This might be due to some other settings issues or official compatibility limitations.
