Before you package, be sure to hit the checkbox in project settings for “start in VR” or use the launch parameter -vr

Oh my god... I was all prepared to watch a 49 minute video that begins with the life story of the KZfaqr, four ads for nutritional drinks, and a documentary on the history of virtual reality, interspersed with long-winded explanations for what "OpenXR" is, who developed it, the a list of alternative plugins and how each one of them works and differs from the others... Only to find it's a 49 SECOND video, where setup is complete 17 seconds in and then we just look around the world a bit. Bravo!

This was the first thing i did when the project dropped, hahaha! The frame rate was stomach turning, but the fact that it runs in VR on epic settings, without crashing, without errors really, right out of the box, is down right amazing. And it just looks so good! I love VR as it is today, but I'm so excited for what VR is going to be like in two or three more years.

You Tube is so much stupid... looks like there is not a stereoscopic in Unreal Engine and this is a problem if i have animated foliage in the scene and want render the left and right cam in two seperate renders instead simultaneous...

@brettcameratraveler 5 ай бұрын

Curious to know your take. I've tried this on the Electric Dreams Demo with a 4080/threadripper and noticing two things: 1) This method works but Unreal's Virtual Scouting plugin method is a choppy mess. Why? 2) Each eye in the headset is very clean individually but when viewed together stereoscopically, there seems to be a minor disparity in the way the scene is rendered between the two eyes and I don't mean the parallax but more a minor inconsistency in how all - and even distant objects are reentered. Is that a Nanite issue - perhaps not yet designed for consistency in stereoscopic rendering?
