    Hi!
    Last time I was checking with Unity to work on path tracing, VR. However, the graphics pipeline was DX11-based, and it was not possible until DX12. Recently Unity progressed a lot in path tracing. Still, I have the same question, is it possible to work with real-time path tracing in VR now? If yes, I would really appreciate it if you could suggest some resources.

    It's probably more like a hardware performance issue, but I don't think this will be possible in the next 5-10 years.

    Hi! But I recently read VR plugin has been upgraded with DXR API, and allows path tracing.
