XRTK developer update 21st April 2020

The event schedule is fast filling up with lots of people flooding to online and immersive events, including the XRTK themselves.

Check out XRTK at the XR Creators event in AltspaceVR

Come check out the XR Creators Unite AltspaceVR event featuring the Mixed Reality Toolkit (XRTK), with none other than @SimonDarksideJ and @Stephen Hodgson https://account.altvr.com/events/1455126216410399022

Saturday 25th April at 9 PM BST

We'll be talking XRTK and fielding questions and bowling answers, or just come and chat

Check out the new Input Mapping and controller system

We're fast revamping some of the XRTK UI in regards to Controller mapping and Input Actions. The team are hard at work to get this finalised for the upcoming 0.2 release.

As a preview, here is the updated input system view, offering direct access to basic controller mappings

The updated platform configuration in it's "Simple" view

And the more Advanced individual controller view, with sharable visualisation settings

The new system is a lot more flexible and requires even less code change/management going ahead. It's also UIElements ready, so we will have an easier time transitioning.

Other events happening

Simon (darkside) Jackson is running additional settings on getting meetings online and immersive. For those who have tried the more immersive platforms such as AltspaceVR and Mozilla hubs, you will have experienced a place that feels more like we are still together, rather than the flat 2D world of Zoom and Teams.

For those of us creating / managing and hosting events, the sessions show the easiest path to achieve that with AltspaceVR (and later hubs)

Check the follow on sessions here:

More details about the events can be found on the listings page below:

Everyone is welcome and should have fun just meeting out.

There will be additional sessions in the future on:

  • How to record your event – a step by step guide
  • A developer-focused event – for creating worlds, objects and components :D

Back to our regular broadcast

On with the show and whether you are interacting on the phone, in on-screen meetings or taking your first jump into VR, we look forward to seeing you there.
