This guide shows you how to set up Google VR development with Unity and build a demo Daydream or Cardboard app for Android.
Set up your development environmentHardware requirements:
Daydream: You'll need a Daydream-ready phone and a Daydream View.
Cardboard: You'll need an Android device running Android 4.4 'KitKat' (API level 19) or higher and a Cardboard viewer.
Software requirements:
Install Unity:
Make sure that the Android Build Support component is selected during installation.
Make sure your environment is configured for Android development.
Refer to Unity's guide for Android SDK/NDK setup.
Download the latest GoogleVRForUnity_*.unitypackage
from the releases page.
The SDK includes the following demo scenes for Daydream and Cardboard:
Scene Description HelloVR Simple VR game in which you find and select a geometric shape KeyboardDemo Daydream: Shows keyboard input on a UI canvas PermissionsDemo Daydream: Shows a correct user permissions request flow VideoDemo Shows various ways to use stereo or 360° video through playback or remote streaming Hello6DoFControllers Demonstrates use of experimental 6DoF controllersOpen Unity and create a new 3D project.

Note that although the scene here is monoscopic, the rendering on your phone will be stereo. Unity might display this warning message as a reminder:
Virtual Reality SDK Daydream is not supported in Editor Play Mode. Please Build and run on a supported target device. Will attempt to enable None instead.
Daydream: (Optional) You can use a physical Daydream controller instead of simulated controls while in play mode in the editor. To do this, use Instant Preview.
Interact with the scene using simulation controls:
Type Simulated action What to do Head movement Turn your head Hold Alt + move mouse Tilt your view Hold Control + move mouse Cardboard input Button press Click anywhere in the Game view Daydream input Change controller orientation Hold Shift + move mouse Click touchpad button Hold Shift + click left Click app button Hold Shift + click right Click home button to recenter Hold Shift + click middle Touch the touchpad.To prepare your supported device, enable developer options and USB debugging.
Build and run the demo scene on your deviceConnect your phone to your computer using a USB cable.
Select File > Build and Run.
Unity builds your project into an Android APK, installs it on the device, and launches it.
Put the phone in your viewer and try out the demo.
