Are oculus rift and Unity 5 compatibles ?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if Unity 5 can be used to develop Oculus Rift using the latest Oculus SDK ? According to the documentation Unity 4.6 should be used but what about Unity 5 ?

Thank you

 

No problem at all.
5.1 will even support the rift without the need of importing any packages anymore (it already does in current Beta).

 

Ok, sounds great !

So, just to be sure I quite understand, at the following web page https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/#sdk=any what do I need to start developing mac or pc Oculus game using Unity 5 ?

Thanks

 

Bali33, you just need to download the Unity 4 integration package and import it into a Unity 5 project. The package includes a camera prefab; just plonk that into your scene and you're good to go. You also need the Oculus runtime for Mac / Windows.

 

I don't think you want to use the Unity 4 integration package with Unity 5. Unity 5 changes how VR works (for the better, it's easier to use now). Don't mix the VR stuff between 4 and 5 or you'll have problems.
