Installing Packages

The easiest way to get started with VR/XR using Meta Headsets such as the Quest in Unity is using the Meta XR All-in-one SDK. There are 3rd Party alternatives such as VRIK or Hurricane VR, but we will be using the Meta integration SDK as it is free and easy to set up.

For more information on the Interaction SDK, you can go to the Meta Quest Docs.
