SOLVED: Hand Tracking not working in Unity Editor or Windows PC Build
EDIT: This was solved in the v62 update! https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Announcements/Meta-Quest-build-62-0-release-notes/ba-p/1145169 I have been attempting to use Hand Tracking over either Air Link or Quest Link for use in a Windows PC build. After setting up a project and playing a sample scene, the tracked hands are not visible. Hand Tracking is working on the device in the Quest OS and during Quest Link. When the unity app is running and my palms are facing the headset the oculus menu buttons are visible but not the hand mesh. Steps to reproduce: Create new Unity project. Install Oculus Integration and XR Plugin Management (select Oculus as Provider) Open any Hand Tracking supported Scene (I mainly am interested in the Interaction SDK) Hands will not be visible. Depending on the scene, the hand mesh can be seen not moving from it's initial position. Tested on multiple computers (Windows 10 & 11), and multiple devices (Quest 2 & Pro). Both Quest devices are on v47. I have tested this with Oculus Integration v46 and v47.23KViews1like15Comments
Is There a Way to See the Passthrough in the Engine Editor?
Is there a way I can see the passthrough working in the Unreal Engine editor before I make a package of the game? Or is the only way to visualize it in the package. I just want to make sure it's all looking and working properly before wasting time waiting for a package to finish cooking.950Views1like0Comments
Play in Editor no device rotation
Hi, I am just getting my new PC setup and I am trying to get the play in editor feature to work so that I can just hit the play button and run the game. I have the quest 2 hooked up through a link cable and I can get the game to run on it when I press play I am not getting any kind of rotation from the headset or the controllers. It seems like it only tracks position. When I deploy to the device it works as expected. Does anybody know what it could be. I put a breakpoint inside of TrackedPoseDriver.OnRotationUpdate and it never gets it, though I did verify that the action is binding. TrackedPoseDriver.OnPositionUpdate on the other hand, does get hit. Thanks1.1KViews0likes1Comment
Wireless editor preview on Quest?
I'm trying to sort out some tricky physics issues and need to do trial and error. I'm on Unity 2019.2 and deploying to the Oculus Quest via Build and Run, which takes quite a while to build and test for each iteration. I'd like to see the preview when clicking "play" but on the Quest. There's a possible way to do it with Oculus Link, but I think it could work with Virtual Desktop streamer over wireless. If you google "virtual desktop unity script" you'll see something that once worked but it's no longer in the asset store (4 years old). Is there an updated version of this or some other method that works wirelessly?1.2KViews0likes2Comments
Unreal Entitlement on second Play in Editor (PIE) Skipped
I created a Rift application on the Oculus Dashboard for debugging. The first time I launch a PIE instance the entitlement will succeed and I can perform a request, such as getting all of the friends; however, once I stop the first PIE instance and launch a new one I get a warning and I cannot perform a Platform SDK request. LogOnlineEntitlement: Warning: Oculus: Oculus platform service not available. Skipping entitlement check. If I restart the editor and launch a new PIE instance, it will succeed.

Here's a script for preventing editor crashes when reloading while in play mode
OVR crashes the Unity Editor when saving a script while in play mode. I'm not sure if the crash occurs exactly before or after reloading. Here's a script that detects when Unity will reload, removes OVR, and stops play mode. I haven't successfully restarted the play mode, but I'm happy to have it not crash anymore. Using Oculus Integrations 1.41 on Unity 2019.1.2f1, targeting Quest headsets. #if UNITY_EDITOR using UnityEngine; using UnityEditor; [InitializeOnLoad] public static class EditorOVRCrashCatcher { private const bool DestroyRig = true; private const bool DestroyAvatar = true; // register an event handler when the class is initialized static EditorOVRCrashCatcher() { AssemblyReloadEvents.beforeAssemblyReload += DestroyOVR; } private static void DestroyOVR() { if (!EditorApplication.isPlaying) return; //Debug.Log("Before Assembly Reload"); GameObject rig = Object.FindObjectOfType<OVRCameraRig>()?.transform.root.gameObject; GameObject avatar = Object.FindObjectOfType<OvrAvatarSDKManager>()?.gameObject; if (DestroyRig && rig) { Debug.Log("Destroying OVR Instance"); Object.Destroy(rig); } if (DestroyAvatar && avatar) { Debug.Log("Destroying OVR Instance"); Object.Destroy(avatar); //Throws errors once ovr is destroyed. } EditorApplication.ExitPlaymode(); //Haven't figured out a way to restart play mode so I'll just stop here. } } #endif Snippets from crash log: libovravatar.DLL caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module libovravatar.DLL at 0033:e7450b10.

Unity and Oculus Go: Preview in Editor
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. Have spent some time searching but have not found conclusive answers. Is it possible to preview my scene in the Editor (or on the headset directly) without building and deploying an APK? In other words is there some way to "play" my scene, use the controller, and move the camera around? Either using keyboard controls, or using a tethered headset?7.1KViews1like9CommentsUsing controllers in Unity Editor (MAC) - improvement of iteration time soon ?

We're working on it!" is there any news on that?543Views0likes0Comments
Bringing a TextEditor to VR
Dear all, I'm wondering... what would be the best way to bring a TextEditor to VR? What I need to do is to display a file line by line and edit this file and do syntax highlighting. Just use GUI.TextField and implement? Or is there some prefab, etc. for this task? Best wishes, SG3KViews0likes4CommentsOculus CV1 in Unity Editor Not Working
Hello, I've had the CV1 headset of Oculus for a couple weeks and I've had the issue where I cant use it in the Unity Editor. Previously I had been using DK2 and everything worked perfectly, but with the new headset I get the error message "[VR Device] Initialization of oculus device failed". The only way for my to test any changes I've made in my scene is by building the .exe and running it which is annoying. Is it not meant to work in the editor anymore or have i missed a step? My current setup is: Unity 5.3.4p4 Oculus SDK for Windows v1.3.2 Oculus Utilities for Unity 5 v1.3.2 OVRPlugin for Unity 5.3 v1.3.2 As suggested in the OVRPlugin documentation I have deleted Unity's contents in the C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\VR\oculus folder and replaced it with the extracted content from the OVRPlugin. Thanks!3KViews0likes5Comments
