VR Player

To simulate your INTERACT scene in Virtual Reality you must use a VR Player.

Use the toolbar menu INTERACT > Add Player and then select the VR Headset :

VR Controllers

The default VR player uses your headset VR controllers to track hands position and interact with objects.

With your controllers you can interact with physicalize parts, navigate in your virtual scene and use VR tools.

Troubleshooting

Make sure that OpenXR is enabled in Edit / Project Settings / XR Plug-in Management when using VR Player.

Hand and finger tracking

INTERACT features a VR Player with hand and finger tracking which is suitable to proceed to precise manipulation operations.
You can either use your own hands, if your headset is equipped with integrated hand and finger tracking capabilities, or you can use other devices such as Leap Motion or Manus gloves.

You can grab and manipulate objects using your onwn hands.

To use navigation or VR tools you will need a VR controller

Troubleshooting

If your hands are not tracked during simulation, make sure your Leap Motion or Manus gloves are correctly setup. Also make sure that you only have one OpenXR Hand tracking extensions running.

Two navigations are available when using the VR Player.

The walk mode is an alternative to the fly one, allowing you to move sideways.

  • Go forward or backward by using your controller's joystick/pad up or down.
