Mystical VR Forest Showcase | Unity XR & OpenXR (HTC Vive)
In this video, I’m showcasing a recently completed VR scene built from the ground up in Unity 2022.3 LTS. The goal of this project was to create a highly atmospheric, interactive valley environment utilizing standard Unity XR and OpenXR, completely free of third-party XR frameworks.
Take a look at the core mechanics, including teleport locomotion, snap turning, and the primary XR interaction: opening suspended glowing jars to release a butterfly, dragonfly, or bumblebee to trigger the scene's progression.
🛠️ Tech Stack & Features:
Engine: Unity 2022.3 LTS (URP)
VR Framework: Unity XR & OpenXR
Hardware: Optimized for HTC Vive
Locomotion: Teleport & Snap Turn
Key Interactions: Physics-free suspended jar interactions, XR grab/release mechanics, custom event triggers, and auto-progression logic.
Environment: Modified "Mountain Environment – Dynamic Nature" asset with custom campfire, NPC, and insect animations.
Let me know what you think of the atmosphere and lighting in the comments below! If you have any questions about setting up OpenXR interactions without relying on external SDKs, feel free to ask.
