XR Development in Unity
summary
Unity ships native XR support across 20+ platforms and demonstrates that VR input and tracking can be practical: controller poses attach with two lines of code using UnityEngine.VR nodes, and input mapping works via the Unity input system (with a new input overhaul planned). AR work uses the Apple ARKit Unity plugin to detect planes and anchors and produces a working iPad build in minutes — ARKit build in five minutes — while 360 playback maps video to a Skybox via a 3840x1920 render texture and a Skybox panoramic beta Shader so realtime CGI can layer over spherical video.
