I started the VR Add-On in September of 2017 which ended up being a year before the character controller was actually released. Since then I have been working on it off and on (mostly off) until recently when we released the PUN multiplayer add-on.
Since then things have been going better than I expected and we should be able to release a beta version soon. I plan on following a similar structure as what we did with the multiplayer add-on where we release the beta to the Opsive Store first and then as soon as everything is stable we'll release on the Asset Store. So, with that said, what is the VR Add-On?
The VR Add-On for the Opsive Character Controllers is a collection of view types, movement types, and abilities that allow your character to use a VR headset. Most of the features that have been added are designed to be used in a first person view but it does also include support for a third person perspective. Physics based item interactions (such as pulling a clip to reload or pulling back a bow to shoot) will not be supported in the first version of the add-on.
The VR Add-On will include the following abilities:
Most of the features are complete, just need to do a lot more testing and polishing before we release. I'll be posting some more gifs and we get closer to release but to start things off here's one where I use the sword to destroy a crate.
