    We are planning to add Unity Free support in an upcoming release. There are changes going in on both sides to make sure it works well.


    Thanks also - I was wondering. I'm so comfortable with Unity (Free), and was starting to debate the change to Unreal..

    So happy to not have to relearn a interface, and small engine gripes.

    So 4.5.5 (FREE) has been added to support the SDK? I'm excited.

    So... has anyone actually got this working yet?
    I've got Unity Free 4.5.5 and Oculus SDK and runtime 0.4.3 and still get the license error in Unity :(

    Got it working flawless in less than a minute after updating Unity. Took my UFPS player, dumped the OVRcamera onto the player, dumped in some enemy AI and immediately had a working demo in Unity free. Pretty sweet!

    I have been unsuccessful as well at getting the 0.4.3 integration to work properly with Unity 4.5.5 free

    This is about as far as I can get... It works as in "does not give an error" but now I get a "No HMD Detected".

    Are you using the latest runtime and integration? You will need both. Does the configuration utility's demo scene work? If so, are there any errors or warnings in output_log.txt from one of the failed runs?

    Will you need an additional license to build for Gear VR or will that be free too?

    I am running the latest and greatest. I downloaded and installed all the 0.4.3 runtime/sdk/integration. And just downloaded a fresh install of Unity 3d 4.5.5f from their website.

    Basic Android functionality will be free. But the profiler and a number of performance optimizations may not be available right away.
