Movement Sample

Unreal-Movement is a package that uses OpenXR’s tracking APIs to expose Meta Quest Pro’s Body Tracking (BT), Eye Tracking (ET), and Face Tracking (FT) capabilities. With this package, developers can leverage tracking to populate VR environments with custom avatars that bring the expressiveness of users into the virtual environments that they create.

Documentation

Oculus Unreal fork

The Oculus Unreal fork will give you the most up to date integration of Oculus features. However, you must build the editor from its source.

Follow the instructions on Accessing Unreal Engine source code on GitHub to obtain:

  • an Epic account
  • a GitHub account
  • authorization to access the Unreal Engine source repository Disregard instructions on downloading Epic’s Unreal Engine source code as you will be building the Oculus-VR fork of Unreal Engine source.

Make sure you have Visual Studio installed properly:

  • Launch the Visual Studio Installer and click Modify for the Visual Studio version you want to use.
  • Under the Workloads tab, click Game development with C++ if it isn’t checked and then click Modify.
  1. Download the source code from the Oculus-VR fork of Unreal Engine on GitHub.
  2. Open a command prompt in the root of the Unreal, then run this command:
.\GenerateProjectFiles.bat -Game MovementSample -Engine <full path to Unreal-MovementSample directory>\MovementSample.uproject
  1. Open the MovementSample.sln file that has been generated in the Unreal-MovementSample directory.
  2. Set MovementSample as the start-up project and Development Editor as the configuration.
  3. Hit F5 to build and debug the project (and the engine).
    • Depending on your machine, the build may take awhile to complete.
