    Hi,

    When upgrading to 5.4.0b10 is it still a requirement to install the SteamVR Plugin from the asset store to use the Vive, or is SteamVR now supported natively?

    Thanks,
    Cameron

    I found an answer to my question here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/358720/discussions/0/405693392925227850/

    The TL;DR version: Yes, you should still install the SteamVR Plugin with Unity 5.4.0b10. The initial native OpenVR integration only affects camera rendering. Stuff like controller positions and inputs still require the SteamVR plugin from the asset store. It's possible to ship an OpenVR app with just the native integration, however, you will be missing a lot of the additional functionality that the OpenVR APIs provide.
