Please this error is driving me INSANE!! And I can’t figure out how does it work. I know there are millions of topics, but there are no explanations and all are different.

This is my case:

Assets/OvrAvatar/Scripts/OvrAvatarLocalDriver.cs(15,36): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `OVRInput' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

            CAPI.ovrAvatarPose_UpdateHands(sdkAvatar, inputStateLeft, inputStateRight);
        }
    }
}

Why??
Please explain the theory behind it!
Thanks!

Hi,
Please download and import this package in your project. all errors will be gone. i have tried this and it works good for me. Oculus Integration | Integration | Unity Asset Store

There isn’t a theory. It’s Computer Science. You’re simply missing a package that exposes the type OVRInput (it’s a symbol that gets added to a symbol table for parsing by a compiler, etc.) OVRInput (which you get by downloading the Oculus Unity Runtimes) never got added to the symbol table. Since it’s off in the ether somewheres, the C# compiler alerts you that it found an unexpected symbol and throws CS0246. Go hop on Oculus’s Dev site and get those sweet, succulent unitypackages.

Considering that the oculus utilities has a bunch of errors, seemingly because facebook has a 3rd world labor sweatshop of 3rd world programmers that facebook hires on the cheap via the horrible h1b visa scam, that answer is relatively useless. I imagine the op CERTAINLY WOULDN’T want to run a while loop without a break statement while executing the trouble shoot.
