What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Standalone VR Headset (Meta Quest)
RequiredYou can learn a lot in Unity without one, but testing your VR scenes in an actual headset is a completely different experience. The Meta Quest line is the most beginner-friendly standalone option — no PC required to run experiences.
USB-C Link Cable for VR
RequiredConnects your Meta Quest to your PC so you can run and test Unity projects directly in the headset while developing. Much faster iteration than building and sideloading each time.
VR Controller Grips and Wrist Straps
Protects your controllers from drops during active gameplay testing and gives you a more secure, comfortable grip during long dev sessions. Your controllers are the most breakable part of your setup.
