When using GVR Video Texture for rendering 360 video, you can place GameObjects within the 360 video sphere; however, those GameObjects will not be hit by raycast. That results in GameObjects being displayed, but not […]

Using a code baseline that Caitlin provided, I added more functionality. She experienced issues of the model moving in strange directions when attempting to move. I fixed this by giving the model gravity and locking its y-position. By using a random number generator, I created a script that makes the character model walk in random […]

I was able to create a Play Menu Scene in Unity. It will display a message “PLAY” on the screen and the play symbol below it. When the user wants to start the game, the user will press on the touchpad on the controller of the headset to switch to the main scene of the […]
