The Oculus VR Starter Kit Has Been Released!! This package gives you a
solid Framework to run around in your VR Environment and Interact with
Objects.

I wrote this for my students in the VR classes I teach, originally.
The goal was to get students past the technical stuff quickly so they
could go straight to telling their stories. Now in a couple of minutes
they can walk around and use objects in their environment.

Also in the past, with supplied scripts, there were problems with
memory issues in Unity. By writing all the code myself, I was able to
remove all these issues.

And of Course, Since this code is constantly being used in both
Class and Production Environments, It will always be updated with new
features.

I hope people Enjoy the kit and I look forward to seeing all the cool stuff people make with it.

Hi Eddie,

I'm currently using this asset, and I just updated the avatar SDK to 1.26. When I included the new local avatar the button rig stopped working. I've double checked the rigidbodes, the box colliders, and no values have changed. The hand & raycast components still work great on other gameobjects, but for some reason I can't get the button rig to work again. Could there be a compatibility issue with the new avatar?

It seems they changed quite a bit with the Avatar update. I already made the necessary changes and will submit it to the Asset Store on Monday. So you should have it on Wednesday.

Thanks for the update. I'm still using 2017.4 for my project so I haven't been able to get the last couple of updates. I might have to switch back to the old avatar SDK.

This looks very interesting, might pick it up to start my next VR project.

Am wondering..is it (or will it be)setup for network/multiplay/friends/rooms or any oculus or 3rd party (photon etc) multiplay in mind.

My last project the trickiest part was to get all the asssets and players syncing well. Incorporating Oculus friends and rooms api would be a great benefit also.

I'm interested in adding Photon. But it will be after adding some other features that were requested first. I have Photon accounts already so I will add it to the feature Request List.

Making the switch to 2018 was actually a hard decision for me. But in the end I had to move forward to 2018.

Version 3.0 now has Desktop and VR Mode. In Desktop Mode you can use the
"w, a, s, and d" keys for input when your not wearing the HMD. Also I
added a Motion Acceleration public variable so you can adjust how fast
