Mixed Reality Extension SDK Unity

The Mixed Reality Extension SDK Unity library makes it easy for any Unity3D app or game to support user generated content (UGC) built with the Mixed Reality Extension SDK. It also makes it easy to test an MRE within a simple environment inside the Unity3D editor.

Prerequisites

  • Install Git
  • Use Unity Hub to Install Unity 2018.1.9f2 (or later) - Set environment variable UNITY_ROOT to the installation path.
  • Install Visual Studio 2017, including Visual Studio Tools for Unity and .NET development tools

How to build and run Hello World in the Unity3D editor

From command prompt:

  • git clone http://github.com/microsoft/mixed-reality-extension-unity
  • Run buildMREUnityRuntimeDLL.bat
  • Open Unity3D, project folder mixed-reality-extension-unity/MRETestBed
  • open the scene Assets/Scenes/HelloWorld.unity
  • click play You should now see a slowly spinning Hello World label and a clickable cube.

Scene Descriptions

The MRETestbed project contains 4 Unity3d scenes set up for different testing purposes

  • HelloWorld.Unity: Connects to a single MRE in the cloud on startup, no interaction needed
  • FunctionalTest-localhost.Unity. Requires a locally deployed functional test MRE from the SDK Repository. Generates a launch pad for each of the functional tests - just walk close to trigger them. Or touch the "run all" trigger to load every single functional test. There is also a pad for changing the global root - it moves, scales, and rotates everything in the world, which simplifies checking the 3d math.
  • TriggerVolumeTestBed-localhost.Unity: Connects to a localhost MRE when you walk close - useful for testing user join/leave.
  • SynchronizationTest-localhost.Unity: Connects twice to twice to a localhost MREs with the same session ID. When you click on the two spheres you will see 2 different connections to the same server, so you can perform basic multiuser testing without multiple machines or multiple unity instances.

The Localhost samples requires a local node server running, see the Sample repository for localhost deployment.

To Debug the Unity Runtime DLL

  • From within the Unity3D editor click Assets->Open C# Project. This opens Visual Studio and generates a solution file and project files
  • In the Solution Explorer, right click on Solution 'MRETestBed' (3 projects), click Add->Existing Project..., and select MREUnityRuntime\MREUnityRuntimeLib\MREUnityRuntimeLib.csproj
  • Press play in the editor
  • Select Debug->Attach Unity Debugger (requires the Visual Studio Unity Tools installed to show up), and choose Project MRETestBed, type Editor

Putting breakpoints inside the MREUnityRuntimeLib DLL is not always working, but pressing stop in Unity Editor, rebuilding the MREUnityRuntimeLib project in Visual Studio, and pressing play in the Unity Editor tends to fix it.

Integration guide

If you want to integrate the MRE SDK into your own Unity3D project, please see INTEGRATING.md

Overview

  • For more information, please see the Mixed Reality Extension SDK repository's README.md is the best source of information about features, current state, limitations, goal, major known issues, and roadmap.
