    This product contains an assortment of Unreal Engine assets which can be imported into a pre-existing project of your choice.
  • VR Input Recorder is made to help one of the most annoying issues in VR/XR Development - taking your headset on and off all the time.
  • It uses Enhanced Input Injection, to emulate input actions at runtime, allowing the developer to playback recorded playthroughs while still debugging code in Blueprints and C++.
  • Uses Float, Boolean & Vector2D Input Actions
  • Game Inputs work without the PIE WIndow being active.
  • Gives new ways of Debugging
  • Gives new ways of iterating on game design tweaking variables on the fly, no more jumping in and out of headset to test simple things.
  • Awesome tool for Content Creators to get gameplay footage of their game. Record a playthrough, then use the editor to be your own Camera Man.
  • Sample code for use with VRExpansion


NOTE:

* VR Input Recorder is ONLY for Projects using the Enhanced Input system (ie VRTemplate)

  •  Input Recorder uses Tick to set positions, so there will be accuracy issues as performance fluctuates. It won't be exact.
  • The demo scene for VR Input Recorder uses the Epic VRTemplate as a base; Epics VR template requires OpenXR Plugin to be enabled. VR Input Recorder generally does not.
