UI Toolkit compatibility and future

Unity Engine

Hello,

In Unity 2021.2 b16 I can’t install package com.unity.ui - “Unable to find the package with specified name…”

I found in 2022.1 alpha release notes this line:

  • UI Toolkit: Marked the com.unity.ui package, which is incompatible with 21.2 and above, as deprecated.

Does it mean 2021.2 and up version should not use UI Toolkit runtime anymore ? In this case how to implement runtime UI ?
And basically what is the future of UI Toolkit for runtime and 3D interface (I mean creation UI at runtime & manipulate in 3D space) ?

Starting with 2021.2, you don’t need a package for runtime UITK anymore; it’s already installed as part of Unity.

It doesn’t include runtime samples: World Space Rendering and it’s not clear does embedded version support 3D rendering. Embedded samples show only simple UI components.

There is no world space support yet. It will come later.
