XR SDK
XR SDK
The Unity XR SDK is aimed at specialist users who want to develop their own XR providers that work with Unity. To download XR SDK, you must sign up for access on this page. The XR SDK package allows multiple backends (called “providers”) to implement a single engine feature (called a “subsystem”) in Unity. User applications can select and activate providers at runtime. A subsystem descriptor is metadata about a subsystem which can be inspected before loading or initializing a subsystem. This comes from a manifest file and is accessed via a C# interface. A Create method activates the subsystem and provides an instance of it to the user’s scripts.
