This VR Room project, developed for the Meta Quest 3 using Unity and C#, aims to create an immersive environment where users can freely move, interact with objects, and enjoy a seamless virtual reality experience. The project includes multiple interactive elements, performance-focused design, and visually appealing post-processing effects.
-
Interactive Environment
- UI Canvas: Utilized world-space canvases for VR menus.
- Object Interactions: Created XR Grabbable objects, such as a tennis ball, hats that users can pick up or wear, and added a remote to turn on a TV.
- Sockets: Employed sockets for easy object placement and neat snapping mechanisms.
-
Teleportation & Locomotion
- Implemented teleportation-based movement to enhance user comfort. Users can choose between continuous movement and teleportation from the settings UI canvas.
- Incorporated fade transitions to reduce motion sickness during travel.
-
Immersive Design
- Post-Processing: Applied anti-aliasing and other visual effects for a polished look.
- Lighting: Mixed real-time and baked lighting to balance realism and performance.
-
Optimization Techniques
- Performance Tuning: Reduced draw calls, used LODs, and optimized scripts to maintain a stable frame rate. Utilized a static method to further reduce processing overhead.
- Quest 3 Compatibility: Ensured the project runs smoothly on Quest 3 hardware by managing CPU and GPU usage.
-
User-Friendly Interactions
- Leveraged XR Interaction Toolkit for natural hand-based object grabbing, throwing, and wearing.
- Focused on intuitive experiences to help users feel grounded in the virtual space.
-
Comfort & Accessibility
- Offered teleportation to minimize motion sickness.
- Incorporated adjustable settings to allow users to tailor the experience to their comfort level.
This section captures real-time performance data collected during gameplay, focusing on CPU, GPU, and frame rate stability. These insights help identify effective optimizations and potential areas of improvement.
Observations
- CPU Usage: Frequently hovers between moderate ranges, indicating balanced processing overhead. Occasional spikes may occur during peak interactions or transitions.
- GPU Usage: Remains within comfortable thresholds, suggesting the project is well-optimized for VR rendering and visual effects.
- Optimized VR Experience: The stable frame rates and balanced CPU/GPU usage indicate strong optimization.
- Immersive & Interactive: Integration of XR interactions, object sockets, and post-processing contributes to a polished user experience.
- Future Possibilities: Further improvements could focus on advanced visual effects, more complex AI-driven interactions, and refined CPU load distribution.
This VR Room project demonstrates a successful blend of performance optimization, interactive design, and immersive visuals—all tailored for the Meta Quest 3. By combining user-friendly interactions with efficient rendering, this experience is both captivating and comfortable, establishing a solid foundation for future VR endeavors.
