OpenXR plugin

    This is the documentation for the .

    The plugin is supported on Godot 3.4 and later. However, it does not support the upcoming Godot 4.0 release.

    To start a new project that supports OpenXR, start by opening up the Godot editor and creating a new project.

    Copy the plugin into this new project in the subfolder using your operating system’s file manager. It is important that the plugin is placed in this exact location in your project folder.

    This is the bare minimum you need. However, for good measure, we suggest adding a DirectionalLight node and a few MeshInstance nodes so you have something to see. If you add those to the hand nodes, you can visualize where your controllers are tracking.

    Your scene should now look something like this:

    ../../../_images/default_scene.png

    To turn this simple scene into a proper game, the sky is the limit. Below, there are a few more topics specific to this plugin. However, the following resources are a good place to continue:

    • VR starter tutorial in the official documentation may focus on OpenVR, but almost everything there applies to OpenXR as well.

    • is a plugin that contains a set of handy sub scene to quickly implement locomotion, object interaction and UI elements in your XR experience.
