5.6.0b7 & Daydream/Cardboard Programming.

Unity Engine
1

I just started to use 5.6.0b7 though Android studio still downloading SDKs. I would like to ask something related to Daydream/Cardboard programming for 5.6.0b7.

With the technical preview we should use GvrViewer(or GvrViewerMain prefab) to render for Cardboard.

Then how about 5.6.0b7? Do I still have to use GvrViewer with 5.6.0?? or can I program games without GrvViewer like “Oculus Rift”?

Do we still need to import “GoogleVRForUnity.unitypackage” for 5.6.0b? - I know that it requires for supporting Daydream controller.

Thank in advance and sorry for my poor English.

  1. For the technical preview and 5.6, GvrViewer is used only for in-editor emulation. It is not needed to run on a phone, so it’s fine to disable GvrViewer.
  2. Yes, you will still need to import the package, for the controller and other features such as the arm model.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your helpful reply!

By the way will not 5.6.0 release support remote debugging via Unity remote? Or is any other way to shorten development iterations for Daydream apps development? - without deplying

It should support remote debugging as well as we support it for current Android applications. The only option for in editor support is through what Google already provides.
