Q2: How to set Camera Culling Mask?

A: The attribute Culling Mask can be set in LeftEye of Pvr_UnitySDK and Camera of RightEye:

  1. Those that have adapted to the Cardboard SDK and used the toggle culling mask option can be done by modifying the Camer property directly.
  2. If you need to modify the toggle culling mask by code, please refer to the modification methods of ordinary camera.
  3. When the left eye and the right eye need to see different objects, the lefteye and righteye camera Culling Mask of PicoVR controls and displays the Layer. The left eye camera Culling Mask does not check the Layer of the right eye object and the righteye camera Culling Mask does not check the Layer of the lefteye object.

Q3: How to set the anti-aliasing?

Q4: How to implement the exit function in Pico devices?

A: The developers can realize the corresponding functions themselves or find the QuitGame.cs script under the AssetsPicoVRSDKScripts directory of SDK, drag it to PicoVR’s GameObject, and press the return key to exit at runtime. Note that in this way, the developers need to release the resources loaded dynamically by games or applications themselves.

Q5: How to apply sensor to other objects in the scenes?

A: Set up according to the following steps:

1 ) Uncheck the Pvr_UnitySDKHeadTrack script on head in PicoVR in the scenes:

Q7: How do you upgrade the PicoVR Unity SDK to the latest version?

A: The use of the SDK application for the first time can follow the steps described above for adaption.

For applications that have been adapted to the old version of SDK, if you want to upgrade them to the latest version of SDK, you need to follow the following steps:

1 ) Delete all files from the old PicoVR Unity SDK.

2 ) Import the new version of SDK UnityPackage, replace the old controller prefabs in the scenes with ControllerManager prefabs in the SDK, and the related functions attached to the old controller prefabs need to be transplanted into the new controller prefabs.

3 ) The PvrController0/ controller is the Pico’s controller model, which can automatically switch the model based on the type of controller currently connected.

4 ) White dots, rays, and models under PvrController0 will automatically display and hide according to the connection state of the controller.
