Worldbuilding in VR with Unity's XR Interaction Toolkit

In this video, we'll be looking at how to set up the Editor for VR development, installing the XR Interaction Toolkit 2.5.x for Unity 2022 LTS, and how the VR sample works.

You’ll learn how you can build your project from scratch using the prefabs included in the sample to speed up the creation of your project, how you can create interactivity without any code, and some common practices and techniques that can assist you in your VR game development.

We test our project with the XR Device Simulator in Unity and a Meta Quest 2 device. Note that what you learn in this video can be applied to the upcoming version XR Interaction Toolkit 3.0 or Unity 6.

If you want to learn more, our comprehensive guide will help both aspiring creators and seasoned developers to delve into, and understand, the intricacies of building VR and MR experiences (or collectively referred to as “XR”) using Unity.
