Question How can I prevent a VR scene from being displayed on the hmd and on the computer screen on build?

    Hello, I have a VR project in Unity 2020.3.7. I am using HTC Vive Pro Eye with SteamVR. When I make the build and I run it, on my computer screen I can see the same as the person who wears the HMD but I don't want the scene to be rendered for the computer screen. I just want the user who wears the HMD to see the scene so I can achieve better performance. How can I do that?

    Thanks.

    There's two ways you could approach this. You could try using XR.XRDisplaySubsystem.SetPreferredMirrorBlitMode (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/XR.XRDisplaySubsystem.SetPreferredMirrorBlitMode.html) to set the mirror blt mode to `None`.


    You could also try using `XRSettings.gameViewRenderMode` (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/XR.XRSettings-gameViewRenderMode.html) to disable this as well.

    Please let me know if that helps! If not, I can circle back with the team for more advice!

    This has been very helpful, but does anybody know how to render some sort of splash screen so its not just a black rectangle?

    For built-in renderer you can add another camera with "target eye" = none / main display. And then use culling mask / layers to choose what is rendered by that camera. For URP you'll have to do some scripting pipeline modifications, I think.
