Unreal Engine 4 Integration 1.6 Released

Unreal Engine 4 Integration

Unreal provides built-in support for Oculus Rift and Gear VR development on Windows.

Unreal apps run on the Oculus platform automatically apply stereoscopic rendering to the main camera as well as positional and orientation tracking for the Rift, or orientation tracking for Gear VR.

Wwise users: the Wwise redirection patch is no longer required in Unreal Engine 4.11 or 4.12. Requires the WwiseUE4Plugin from AudioKinetic’s ‘master’ branch on Github.

4.12

New Features

• Added adaptive viewport scaling, which automatically changes pixel density based on resource availability, with configurable min/max. See our Unreal Console Commands guide for details. (Rift only)
• Added Blueprints plugin that supports calls for Gear VR functionality such as GPU/GPU throttling, querying headphone connection, querying device temperature, and more.

API Changes

• Oculus Touch: Added PlayHapticsSoundwave to Blueprints, which permits playback of soundwaves (stored in UE4 in USoundWave assets) directly to the Touch controller.
• Added SetHapticFeedbackBuffer to the C++ Haptics interface, to submit byte arrays to be played at 320 Hz on the Oculus Touch controller.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug where unfocused Wwise apps continued playing audio. Requires the WwiseUE4Plugin from AudioKinetic’s ‘master’ branch on Github.
