Some days ago, I was looking at the code of HitMotion: Reloaded, the fitness game that we of New Technology Walkers developed some years ago for the Vive Focus Plus, and all the intricate system I had to make in Unity to have a cross-platform VR game… and I wondered: “Is all of this mess […]

We all love virtual reality, but sometimes it gives us big headaches. And not because of the motion sickness, but because something doesn’t work.

As an Oculus developer since 2014 (ah, the good old DK2 times), I’ve always developed using Oculus Plugin inside Unity. I know it quite well and in fact, I’ve also made a tutorial about how to use your Avatar SDK inside Unity. Sometimes I also gave a look to other plugins, especially for developing the […]
