AppOculus Plugin

An AppOculus plugin is used to support the Oculus Rift head-mounted display.

It can be rendered in both the windowed and the full screen mode.

To use the Oculus Rift virtual display with Unigine, perform the following:

1. Plug in the Oculus Rift
2. Get and configure the Oculus Rift SDK
3. Implement the application logic and launch the AppOculus plugin on the application start-up

To launch the plugin, specify the extern_plugin command line option and STEREO_OCULUS define on the start-up:

main_x86d -extern_plugin "AppOculus" -extern_define STEREO_OCULUS
				

Also you can create a new project with Oculus support by checking the Oculus support option on the New Project tab of the Unigine SDK Browser.

Head-tracking support is available by default.

Full Oculus SDK sources are required for the AppOculus plugin compilation:

1. Get the Oculus Rift SDK
2. Set path to the <Oculus Rift SDK>/LibOVR folder in the OCULUSROOT environment variable:
   Shell commands

   OCULUSROOT=<Oculus Rift SDK>/LibOVR
   						

3. Compile the plugin with the build script:
   Shell commands

   C:\UnigineSDK\utils>build.py --plugin AppOculus
   						

   You can also compile the plugin manually with Scons:
   • Go to the <UnigineSDK>\source\plugins\App\AppOculus via the command line
   • Type scons and press ENTER:
     Shell commands

     C:\UnigineSDK\source\plugins\App\AppOculus>scons
