Where is unity private build of the Mixed Reality Technical Preview (MRTP)

According belowing:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-...installation_checklist_for_immersive_headsets
If I want to development App for immersive headset, I will need unity private build MRTP.
Where can I get the private build?

 

Does anyone know how to get access to MRTP builds with Microsoft account manager?

 

Apparently, getting access to the MRTP builds is going to take a while so I was wondering if it's possible to use 5.6 or 2017.1 beta for Windows Mixed Reality development?

Thanks

 

Hod do you get access?
thanks

 

Is there an ETA on the 2017.2 beta? I'm actually able to get Windows Mixed Reality running on 5.6, but, unsurprisingly, it's very finicky.

 

Heyo! I was following this thread all day yesterday, then lo and behold look what just appeared on https://unity3d.com/unity/beta The first 2017.2 beta release! Let's get cracking.

 

Aaaannnd so much for that. Up and running in Unity using these settings (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/unity_development_overview) and when I press Play in Unity, my headset goes black. My Unity Editor windows show that tracking is working, but I can't see anything in the headset.

 

Sure @unity_andrewc I was soooo close to getting started too!

 

@unity_andrewc bug report submitted from alex.coulombe@gmail.com! hope it's helpful.

 

@unity_andrewc very strange! I don't believe much of that is accurate. In the new Unity beta, there's a platform called 'Universal Windows Platform' and there is no longer a 'Windows Store' platform. I definitely had and have UWP enabled and Windows Mixed Reality set up in Player Settings/ XR Settings.



And no the Editor isn't crashing, the Acer headset is. Everything in the Editor behaves as it would if I had a Rift or Vive plugged in. But in the headset it fades to black, blinks, then fades to blue, then goes through the headset setup process again, then re-enters the 'home' mode. Seems like a crash to me.

 

Yeah I'm certain:


Very strange about the bug report. Any chance there's a bug with the bug reporting ?

 

@unity_andrewc tried turning off Vuforia AR and killing DWM. Same results. Hm! Should I reach out to Microsoft or Acer as well?

 

Also I wanted to see if there was any change if I tried to run the built version of the app, but the built result doesn't seem to have an executable. How do I run it?

 

thanks for continuing the conversation @unity_andrewc

1) new project, followed your steps in order, and it's working! No headset crash-- fades to black then I see inside Unity. Weird... went back to my previous project and that one still isn't working despite settings being identical (as far as I can tell).
2) I'm currently using Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 16232.rs_prerelease.170624-1334
3) yes everything is running in the headset with the mixed reality portal before I press play

 

Oh man so weird. Okay now I went back to the new project I made and it's crashing again.

 

Just tried to create new project from scratch, same steps as before, and this time the headset fades to black and doesn't crash, but then it stays black and I can't even get back to the home screen, even if I exit Unity entirely.

 

gotcha! thanks very much

 

Just an update on all this-- it could be the problem is my CPU doesn't read AVX instructions. Take a look at the thread over here:

Yep! Using the beta on a new computer now and it works very smoothly.

 

I'm new to Unity IDE and very impressed so far by completing some tutorials.

The author of this article mention permission from Microsoft Account Manager? I installed Unity 2017.1.0f3 (64-bit). I have the Acer Headset and aim to develop mixed reality apps. Am I good to go with the Unity version I have installed?

 

I'm having some trouble getting Unity 2017.2 to work with my Acer headset. I have installed beta 5, and followed all of the steps of the "install the tools" page on Microsoft. The computer is updated to the latest "fast" insider preview and I have the insider SDK installed as well. The headset runs fine in the MR portal app (the cliff house) but when I start Unity with the headset plugged in the editor is blank (all white) I can select the menus but all of the windows (hierarchy, project, game, scene, etc..) are not visible. If I select Play from the menu the headset just restarts the MR portal app and doesn't render the unity project.

I have unity setup for the windows universal platform and virtual reality checked (with the mixed reality SDK selected in player settings).

If I try to run Unity without the headset plugged in I get all of the windows in the editor and can use Unity just fine by itself. As soon as I plug in the headset all of the UI in the editor freezes but I can still quit the editor.

 

What is RS3 OS?

 

I see, and how does one get this version? I signed up for the insider program and set my update settings to Fast (Active Development of Windows). My current version is 1703 build 15063.502

 

Ok finally got it working. Getting windows to update to this version was very difficult on our computer. But once we updated by using an ISO download from the windows insider website it updated and now Play mode works in Unity 2017.2 Thanks for your help pointing out we needed a different version. We now have build 16257 as well. Is single pass rendering supported yet for Mixed Reality?

 

Hi.... My develop MR environment is like this:
1. Windows 10 Home Insider Preview build 16275.rs3_release
2. Version 1703
3. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / driver version 22.21.13.8541(385.41)
4. Unity 3d 2017.2.0b8 version
5. Porting setting is done as instruction.
(Building setting - Universal Windows Platform-switch platform- any device- d3d- latest installed -local machine
- unity c# project
player setting - .net(script backend) -virtual reality support)

My problem with my HP headset : When I press Play in Unity, my headset goes black, but I can see work well in unity play mode game screen when I controlled gaze in mixed reality portal.

What shall I do ?

 

I solved this problem by changing the settings of NVIDIA 3D settings.

 

With the lecture of Mixed reality 250(chapter 1 holo world), I met those 3 messages!
I guess that those messages seems to have happened because I have no Unity Mixed Reality Technical Preview (MRTP), and there's no MRTP for 2017.2.0b8..... What should I do?

AH!!!!!!! I appreciate your help!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!

 

Would someone please either point me to a link that has a VERY straightforward, step-by-step process from opening unity to running in a Windows MR (Lenovo in my case) headset, or post that process here? I have seen lots of tidbits here and there, but no direct "do this, then do that, then do this, then you will be viewing your scene in the headset"....? Just looking at a cube would be enough. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi @jessechunn for it to simply work, just:

1. Switch Platform to UWP
2. Open player settings (for UWP)
3. In the XR setting, ensure VR mode is enabled for Mixed Reality.

Or simply download / import the current version of the MRTK (https://github.com/Microsoft/MixedRealityToolkit-Unity) and use the "Apply Project settings" option from the Menu (new menu added by MRTK)

 

Thank you sir.
