OMG THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! Thank you for making it so easy to hop into VR dev! i was dreading having to spend hours scrolling through forums to get this all set up but now it just works which has bolstered my excitement to get developing!
You said to tell you what I plan to make…I plan to create a story driven game such as life is strange or the quarry, but in VR so YOU are living the experience and not another character. Showing your life story and dropping you in a crazy situation. I think it is a needed game genre for VR! And I’m excited to start! Thanks for the video 😊
@@ethanw041 yes, the project is still under way, I have a couple things I have to do to my computer so I can continue making it, but it is still going to happen soon
I wish the purpose for using Android Studio 4 was explained, as now there are far more versions, and using the link shown in this video now gives you a prompt to download Android Studio "Electric Eel". Took me way too long to find the old 4 version, but can i use 4.1 or 4.2? What even is this for?
annoying. So many Unreal Engine "tutorials" never clearly tell the viewer which version they are using. Sheer laziness. Many things are different between the different versions (like button allocation for Quest 2 between 5.0 and 5.1)
Thanks for this - am just wondering if this is still the correct information currently, and for using Quest 3 instead of Quest 2- for example do we still need to download Android Studio, and which version? There is now a Meta XR Plugin for Unreal 5, though I'm not sure if this is more geared towards actual Quest deployment, whereas I'm interested in using the Quest 3 for PCVR. My first tests with airlink/virtual desktop have been pretty bad- the headset feels laggy and the view shakes around a bit in the template VR scene in Unreal, whereas all other games/apps are very solid. I have not installed Android Studio as yet though.. wondering if you may do an upto date video for Quest 3/Unreal 5.3/Airlink at some point? Be well! EDIT: I've learnt you need to disable any Open XR related plugins in your unreal project, if you have the Meta XR plugin enabled. Once I did this, I'm getting a good result in VR via airlink (I still haven't installed Android Studio, haha). I'm happy with this but not ultimately satisfied, because I can't get a VR preview through other desktop mirroring software, for eg- virtual desktop, Meta Workrooms, immersive... Those last two apps I'd really like to get working, as my idea was to be able to work in unreal editor in VR with the keyboard and mouse as passthrough, and then switch to VR preview without needing to take the headset on/off. If anyone has any tips for this kind of workflow, please let me know! :)
Machine learning is definitely new and exciting, I look forward to it being implemented in some way or another in game development, albeit it will be a while before we see it.
Thanks for giving ur great tutorials. Actually. I have an issue in my Virtual Scout project. in VR view, there is no controllers. How can I solve it? My project is UE5.1, VR device are Vive, Oculus.
Thank you so much for the awesome video! Would it be possible to test a VR game without a headset? For example, I use keyboard WASD to move around and grab with different keyboards input with Unity. I am wondering if Unreal has a similar option.
This is a great video for first-time users. I have seen videos of people enabling Nanite and Lumen for VR headsets. Is this officially supported and if so a video about it would be very useful. Thank you.
hey!! I wanna ask how I can connect my PC to oculus I want to play my unreal project from PC to unreal land it does not showing VR preview option highlighted in ue
Hello, it says my GPU is not compatible with the quest 2 in the oculus app, is there a way to test the game without having to build an APK file every time?

Without changing anything, I seemed to be anchored in the center of the nav mesh unable to move on the flat surface. for some reason the stairs worked but not on the flat surface. UE 5.1
@@umbratherios5614 Delete the default floor and create a new one with the BSP box brush - just scale it out to roughly the size of the original floor. Make sure it's inside the Nav Bounds mesh. For some reason, the default floor doesn't seem to work. But create a new floor does. Hope that helps!
I would like to develop a software similar to OVR Toolkit that can bring up floating windows in other game environments, such as VRChat. How should I get started?
I did everything you say but it's not working for me. - Installed Android Studio 4.0 - Installed Visual Studio Community 2022 with the additional modules as per your video - Enabled Developer Mode on the app - Installed the Oculus app and linked the device (which I can confirm it shows as connected through Quest Link on the headset) - Installed and enabled the Meta XR plygin in UE When I start the preview in VR, nothing happens other than the window opening and the camera being set at 0,0,0. The only thing that doesn't seem right is the quest link troubleshoot saying the device is connected, NOT MEETING REQUIREMENTS. ETHERNET: NONE. Any ideas?
Heyho! Commenting this while starting the vid, Im very new to Unreal and Ive seen theres a VR project type and others like game type projects. I need to create a landscape for uni which should later be able to be used in VR too, can I work normally in a game project and later on still be able to view it in VR? I also personally dont own a VR headset, its only in the school, can I still work without it at home? (If the questions are dumb Im sorry, Im very lost)
I work for an organization and can't have a free copy of visual studio on my system. So organizations have to pay $45 a month to vr preview in unreal engine 5?
Hello, I started with the VR template and migrated a level I had built. I created the navigation mesh for it, but when I try to teleport, the pointer is not showing up, and the teleportation circle appears right next to me. How can i solve it?
How would i go about making a VR movie? using different camreas and sequencer? so bascially a short film but in 360 VR stereo. I've done this in 3dsmax but not unreal engine
I am a complete beginner so I guess this tutorial assumes you must know you also need to download Unreal Engine 5 and how/where to do that? That is a separate step not included in this video, correct?
This was going fine for me until I had to download the Oculus App for Mac. I have an iMac and the Oculus App isn't supported on my device. It sucks because I was really looking forward to dabbling in this over the weekend. 😞
Hello! Within the Basic template I can only teleport to the center of the map, but within the OpenWorld template everything goes fine, just hope someone could see this.

But the teleport function doesn't show up. Any clue what's missing ? From esthetic point of view everything looks good, I can walk in the environment, but it doesn't work the teleport. Vr set: Vive HTC
Would it be too much to show us how to make a kingspray like VR game? I mean where we can spraypaint on our own modelled environment (in UE5 i mean, not in kingspray). I'm sure you know that Kingspray is a VR graffiti art program.
