2. Setting Up Unity XR

  • Download Unity Hub here and install it.
  • Open Unity Hub. Select the Installs tab and click on the Install Editor button.
  • Select a version of Unity (the latest Zoe release was tested with Unity 2019.4.0f1). Click NEXT.
  • If you plan on using an Oculus Quest, check Android Build Support; otherwise click DONE. The version of Unity you selected is now installing. Wait until that process is done.

Create a new Unity Project with Template: 3D (make sure you are using the version recommended for Zoe) with the name you want:

After importing, in the new interface select the hardware you are using for Unity to install also the necessary packages (make sure you wait until a process bar appears and everything has been imported). Here is the setting for using an Oculus Rift / Rift S:

Note: to use SteamVR (for HTC Vive headsets foe example) a separate plug-in needs to be installed. Check SteamVR support for more information.

Close the Project Settings window.
