Small startups can’t compete with big companies, so usually, startups produce expensive headsets at a smaller scale to survive : see VRgineers or Varjo as an example. While Oculus is getting all the glory for the Quest, its competitors are not sleeping. We’re excited to try this headset when it becomes available. Doug Lombardi, Valve.

This is the first post in a series of technical posts in which we will be covering the bare bones of a Virtual Reality API (Application Programming Interface) and coding a few examples using it. we can’t use OpenVR and choose to execute directly in Oculus runtime); that will be dictated by the API/SDK we are using instead. .:

WebXR is a technology with enormous potential, but at the moment it offers far worse tools to develop for it than standalone VR , where we all use Unity and Unreal Engine. We all love seeing gray cubes in Unity, and this is what I love to do as tutorials (like for instance in this tutorial on how to get started with Oculus Quest in Unity ).

Our Unity Core Assets and the Leap Motion Unreal Engine 4 plugin both handle position and scale out-of-the-box for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. For the Oculus Rift, this offset is 80mm, while on the HTC Vive it’s closer to 90mm. With headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, the user’s eye lenses remain focused at infinity.
