Basic VR IAI kitchen setup in Unity, a minimalistic version of the Unreal IAI kitchen https://github.com/robcog-iai/RobCoG This version does not include lighting/ walls etc. since its intended use is to simulate communication to the Knowledge Graph (Tutorial for this can be found here: https://github.com/michaelakuempel/Unity-REST-KG). It will then be deployed to AR.
To set up the project with Unity 2018 using the .Net framework: Go to Edit -> Project Settings
- check the Windows Store icon Player settings: in -> Other section
- change Scripting Backend to .Net in -> Publishing section
- check the following Capabilities: InternetClientServer PrivateNetworkClientServer SpatialPerception (if you want to include object recognition and/ or anchors for AR) in -> XR Settings
- check: Virtual Reality Supported (ensure Windows Mixed Reality is set) Vuforia Augmented Reality Supported (again for object recognition -> will be used in later version with AR) Quality settings:
- set the quality for your used system to low
Project setup for Mixed Reality and VR:
- Select Main Camera in the Hierarchy panel
- In the Inspector panel, find the Transform component and change the Position from (X: 0, Y: 1, Z: -10) to (X: 0, Y: 0, Z: 0)
