UE5 Nanite confirmed for PC VR
Good times coming! : https://uploadvr.com/ue5-pc-vr-comments/ ?
Just in case someone hasn't seen more info on this since the original post, in one of the live streams last month they explicitly stated both Nanite and Lumen are too 'expensive' to do at 90 fps so there's no roadmap that it will come to VR in the next years. See here some notes about Lumen and VR at 1h13m02
Well that's not 100% what they said, at least in all their interventions regarding this subject. As you pointed out, and your video shows, Lumen is out of the table and will be for a long long time, (hope not forever). Not only because of performance but also because it uses deferred rendering and forward rendering has become the VR standard for a couple of reasons.
But their statements change when they talk about Nanite. Apparenly the possibility is there and it's not very difficult. It's just a question of them having the time to implement it ("connecting the dots", they said).
Of course we are talking about PCVR. I think standalone is also out of the table here.
