Step 1: Begin with a New 3D Project

Start by creating a new 3D project in Unity. This will serve as the foundation for integrating Oculus passthrough features.

Step 2: Import SDK from Oculus

  1. Go to the Oculus Developer Center and download the necessary SDK.

  2. Open Unity and your new project.

  3. Navigate to Assets > Import Package > Custom Package.
