Hi,
is it possible to create an vr overlay app with unity? I want to show something in an existing (non unity) vr game as overlay like an App with an invisible background.

thx

I don’t think so.
Certainly not on standalone VR. Maybe on PCVR but that’s outside of my knowledge

Hi, i only mean PCVR.
OpenXR provides an Overlay Featire called XR_EXTX_overlay and may be it’s possible to define this feature in Unity. I have found two links about it but i don’t know how to implement and than how to use.

It’s possible using SteamVR, but it’s not supported well, and you’ll need a beefy PC.
