Varjo Reality Cloud Unity and Unreal Engine developer recommendations

  • Since the applications only render to headset, all the user interfaces should be immersive. Buttons or instructions in the 2D monitor window should be avoided as that window is not seen by a cloud user.
  • Keyboard or motion controllers are recommended for interaction.
  • Applications don’t need a specific quit function. When an application shuts down or crashes, it is restarted automatically.
  • Third party plugins and assets may not be compatible with the cloud setup. It is recommended to test them in isolation to see how they behave.
  • Multi-user features are not supported.
  • When an application is running in the cloud, you can use Varjo Analytics window to see advanced statics for performance debugging.
