VueXR Rig

The preview feature within VueXR Rig allows you to test and experience your XR content directly within the Unity Editor before deploying it to a target device or platform. It provides a real-time simulation of how your XR experience will look and behave, allowing you to make adjustments and refinements as needed.

Here's how the preview feature works within VueXR Rig:

  1. Real-time Simulation: The preview feature renders and simulates your XR content within the Unity Editor's Game view. This allows you to see a live preview of how your objects, animations, interactions, and other elements will appear within the XR environment.

  2. Interactive Navigation: You can navigate and explore your XR scene within the preview mode using the available input controls. This allows you to move around, interact with objects, and test the user experience firsthand.

  3. Testing Interactions: The preview mode enables you to interact with your XR content using the simulated input controls. This allows you to test the functionality of click event triggers, user interactions, and any custom behaviors you have implemented.

  4. Visual Feedback: The preview feature provides visual feedback in real-time, allowing you to see how lighting, shaders, materials, and other visual elements are rendered within the XR environment. This helps you ensure that your XR content looks as intended.

  5. Iterative Refinement: By using the preview feature, you can iterate on your XR content, making adjustments, tweaking settings, and refining the experience until it meets your desired outcome. You can test different scenarios, evaluate the performance, and fine-tune the overall user experience.

It's important to note that the preview feature within VueXR Rig provides a simulation within the Unity Editor and may not perfectly replicate the behavior and performance of the XR experience on the actual target device or platform. Therefore, it is still recommended to thoroughly test your XR content on the intended device to ensure optimal results.

Overall, the preview feature within VueXR Rig offers a convenient way to preview, test, and refine your XR content directly within the Unity Editor, providing a more efficient development workflow and helping you create a compelling XR experience.

A step-by-step guide to previewing XR experiences within VueXR Rig

Here's a step-by-step guide to previewing XR experiences within VueXR Rig:

  1. Open your XR project in Unity and ensure that you have the VueXR Rig package installed and set up.

  2. Create an empty object in the hierarchy and rename it.

  3. Set up your XR content by adding 3D models, animations, interactions, and any other elements you want to include in your XR experience by adding them to the empty object. This will make it a parent object.

  4. Drag and drop the parent object to the project window to make a prefab.

  5. Select the Vue Player object in the hierarchy window.

  6. Now drag and drop the prefab to the prefab to play field in the inspector.

  7. In the Unity Editor, navigate to the Game View tab, which provides a live preview of your scene. Set the aspect ratio to 1920 X 1080.

  8. Within the Inspector, you'll find various controls and settings for previewing your XR experience.

  9. Adjust the preview settings as needed, such as choosing the desired XR mode (AR or VR), enabling/disabling interactivity, horizontal/vertical placement, etc.

  10. Click the "Play" button within the Unity Editor to start the preview mode. This will simulate the XR experience within the Game view.

  11. Use the available input controls, such as mouse and keyboard or supported XR input devices, to navigate and interact with your XR scene.

  12. As you explore and interact with the scene, observe the behavior, animations, and any triggered events to ensure they are working as intended.

  13. Make any necessary adjustments or refinements to your XR content based on the feedback you gather from the preview mode.

  14. Stop the preview mode by clicking the "Stop" button in the Unity Editor when you have finished testing and making changes.

  15. Repeat the process of previewing, adjusting, and refining your XR experience as needed until you are satisfied with the results.

It's important to note that the preview mode within VueXR Rig provides a simulation within the Unity Editor and may not perfectly replicate the behavior and performance of the XR experience on the actual target device or platform. Therefore, it is still recommended to thoroughly test your XR content on the intended device to ensure optimal results.

By following these steps, you can effectively preview and iterate on your XR experiences within VueXR Rig, allowing you to fine-tune the content and create a compelling XR experience.
