Question Can I do VR interaction with traditional Unity UI yet?

    Hi,

    For one of my products a few years ago, I had to write a ton of custom code to make the Oculus Rift work with the traditional Unity UI. Is it easier now, and if so, what do I need to include or configure, to interact with a basic UI I've designed in Unity's UI, in VR?

    Specifically I need sliders, buttons, and scrolling lists of images.

    Thank you!

    The fastest and most robust way as far as I know is still the CurvedUI asset (not mine). Unity also implements UI interaction in their official VR course, but it's very basic.

    Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit has a XRUIInputModule that will take raycasts from the controllers and feed them into the standard UGUI input system. You don't have to use all their other interaction features.
