I’m starting to try to develop a so called Vertical slice of a VR Game with Alien Scifi vibes called Area51 and I’m keeping a log diary of all my endeavours, challenges, learnings and stuff that I need to write down so I have a trail of what I did in the end ;-). First off; getting my VR development environment in the right state. Found the following helpfull pointers on getting VRTK installed in unity. Not sure I will stick to Oculus Utilities (I have been using the cross platform SteamVR until now and been quite impressed by it) but I might try to develop something for the Oculus Quest, so why not try it out ? At least it will push me to take into account the performance and triangle count from the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open the Unity Hub and Using Unity 2018.4 LTS create a new project named \u201cEscape Room Vertical Slice\u201d<\/strong> and save it to the Desktop<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Go to the Asset Store in Unity and search for Oculus Integrations<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Click Import<\/strong> and Install<\/strong><\/li>
  4. When prompted to install the update for Oculus Utilities<\/strong> click \u201cYes\u201d<\/strong><\/li>
  5. When prompted to restart click \u201cYes\u201d<\/strong><\/li>
  6. Next Go to \u201cWindow\u201d<\/strong> and open \u201cPackage Manager\u201d<\/strong><\/li>
  7. Locate \u201cOculus Desktop\u201d<\/strong> and click \u201cInstall\u201d <\/strong>Located in the upper right corner of the window<\/li>
  8. Go to https:\/\/git-scm.com\/<\/a> and install Git<\/li>
  9. Once you have Git navigate to Desktop\/Escape Room Vertical Slice<\/li>
  10. Right-click the \u201cAssets\u201d<\/strong> folder and select \u201cGit Bash Here\u201d<\/strong><\/li>
  11. In the Command Window that pops up enter:<\/li>
  12. git clone –recurse-submodules https:\/\/github.com\/ExtendRealityLtd\/VRTK.git<\/a><\/li>
  13. In the Command Window Enter:<\/li>
  14. git clone https:\/\/github.com\/ExtendRealityLtd\/VRTK.Tutorials.OculusIntegration.git<\/li>
  15. Return to Unity and let it load<\/li>
  16. When prompted with the \u201c[VRTK]-Manage Input Mapping\u201d<\/strong> window click \u201cAdd Input Mappings\u201d<\/strong> on the bottom<\/li>
  17. You should see a \u201cVRTK\u201d folder in the projects Asset folder now, meaning you are ready to move on to the next video<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Update ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The VRTK stuff is already outdated it seems. Sigh….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You now have to install VRTK.prefab from
    https:\/\/github.com\/ExtendRealityLtd\/VRTK.Prefabs\/releases<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And adjust your manifest.json in packages\/ with <\/p>\n\n\n\n
