I have a question i'm making a vr game in unreal engine but i only have a PSVR so is it possible for me to connect the PSVR to my PC?
I'm pretty confident in saying that PSVR is propriatary to sony and would not work juste like plugging it to your PC. (pretty much like a ps4 controller where you need a third party software to emulate it as an Xbox controller)
Eventually if you have a dev kit or something but I assure that.

I need to share my desktop on Hololens2 in real time.
All the methods I have found deal with synchronizing the HoloLens2 screen to the PC side, instead of the PC side to HoloLens2. I want to try the Unity plug-in FMETP STREAM, but it doesn't seem to meet my requirements. What should I do to synchronize the PC screen to HoloLens2 in real time?
Please excuse my poor English. I would be grateful if you could answer my question.
FMETP STREAM should satisfy this use case, I find this post the developer replied, this package supports the case desktop Unity app stream the content to the VR headset. I believe it should also work for HoloLens.
Besides, the MixedReality-WebRTC release from Microsoft can help you enable real-time audio/video/data communication with a remote peer. It also meets your requirements. You can get it starts with this doc:Unity library overview
You can modify Hololens Remoting player. It streams desktop app to Hololens in real time.

I followed the Unity tutorial of an online multiplayer game (here), and the architecture is the following :
But I would like to have this architecture :
I would like to really separate the client part and the server part in an online game. I'm new with Unity and especially with online multiplayer game and I really don't know how to do that. I don't want the solution, but maybe idea of how to do that.
Thanks a lot for helping me.
I am surprised you didn't learn the Tut and post this question. obviously you can make separate server.
As unity UNet basic concept stated:
In the unity networking system, games have a Server and multiple
Clients. When there is no dedicated server, one of the clients plays
the role of the server - we call this client the “host”
Three Modes of UNet Multiplayer Game:
A Networking multiplayer game can run in three modes - as a client, as a dedicated server, or as a “Host” which is both a client and a server at the same time. Networking is designed to make the same game code and assets work in all of these cases. Developing for the single player version of the game and the multiplayer version of the game should be the same thing.
NetworkManager has funcions for entering each of these modes:
NetworkManager.StartClient()
NetworkManager.StartServer()
NetworkManager.StartHost()
Check UNetManager for more details
You can open a Unity instance as a dedicate server.
NetworkManager.StartServer();
However for current state of UNET you can only have 1 room per Unity instances.
Which mean if you want to open many game room at the same time it'll cost you a lot of hardware.
Run as headless mode (No GUI) will help you a bit but that's not enough (Currently I've done that on DO).
So my recommendation is don't use UNET if you want massive users on your game.
For a project at my university I need to create a Unity3D application on my laptop, in which the camera is stationairy and can be controlled to rotate in any direction using the gyroscope of my Android smartphone (Nexus 5), wirelessly or through usbcable.
I've looked at the possibility of OSC or the Unity Remote 5 App, but up till now haven't found a way that works in order to obtain this result.
Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated - I don't have much experience yet with all this.
Thanks!
If i was going to do this then I would use UNET (Unitys built in multiplayer networking API) and have the rotation sync over LAN.
On the camera I would have a Network Transform and a script to control its rotation based on accelerometer input.
The version on the phone would be the authority and sync it's rotation over the network to the client on the laptop.
Pros: Wireless, fast (over wifi), very little code required to make it work, lots of documentation available online.
Cons: Relies totally on your network situation, you will have to do a lot of trial and error to get a smooth experience (not jerky) i think.
As for getting the tilt input on the device, Unity have a great tutorial here: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/mobile-touch/accelerometer-input
It's pretty straight forward.
Sound like a fun project, good luck!
It's possible to do this via cable, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0 or Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE). I have implemented what you need in WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 for my current work.
It's pretty easy to get rotation values and stream them from Android but I don't think you will need to do anything because you can just use this!

So the question is how do you receive the data this is sending on Unity's side. The answer is the UdpClient class.
If you need more reliability because every second student in your uni library is torrenting Mr. Robot and your getting huge lag then I can tell you how to implement the same thing in Bluetooth, which is not super trivial as .NET 2.0 (which unity uses) doesn't support bluetooth libraries, but there are solutions...
When I saw the Google Cardboard for Unity, I assumed this meant that you would be able to make a Unity PC game and use your phone as a screen/controller. All I can see is it wanting me to make an android app which is all well and good, but it doesn't allow for input from the keyboard.
Is there a way to stream the Unity PC project to the device and retrieve input (i.e. Headtracking, NFC magnet)?
The problem with such a solution is latency. In VR latency is a big deal. The overall latency from input to photons reaching your eyes should be 20ms or lower. Regular games have 30-60 ms latency by themselves. Add to that the gyro latency, the phone display latency... If you want to add another 25ms or more ping to your VR experience, that's gonna be painful and may even make you sick. If you want to read more on why latency is such a big deal in VR, Michael Abrash wrote an excellend blogpost about it: post on latency
If you want to necessairly use a keyboard for navigation, consider using a bluetooth keyboard that can be used with android devices. Also keep in mind that with the current technology, especially without a dedicated headset, really dynamic vr experiences probably won't work very well and can make some people uncomfortable or sick. For a good read on designign virtual reality experiences, please refer to this guide from the Oculus Rift: http://static.oculus.com/sdk-downloads/documents/Oculus_Best_Practices_Guide.pdf
There's nothing in the Cardboard SDK for talking with a PC-hosted Unity game. You could adapt the code from the Unity Remote 4 project:

We are developing the app what you want except it uses GearVR instead of Cardboard. Please check the link below.

Streaming from your PC to your phone's Cardboard is possible using third-party apps, such as Trinus VR (the client app on your phone) and Vireio (the streaming app on your computer). The two apps will then communicate via your home network (Wi-Fi or other) to stream the images.
I am currently working on a project where I need to access a build in camera (software will run on a tablet), stream what the camera is showing, and allow the user to take a picture from the stream. I have a version of what I am trying to accomplish on my laptop with its built in camera working. The major difference is the Laptop is using windows XP the tablet is using windows 7.
Running the software on the tablet I get an exception (with some research it appears that exception is cause by no WIA device found). Is it possible that the built in Camera is not WIA compatible? The device does show in the Device Manager as an USB Camera Device, but unlike the camera on my laptop I can't access it directly. I have to use 3rd party software put in by the tablet maker to get the camera to work.
Has anyone experience similar problems? I have to believe if the tablet maker can do what I need I should be able to do something similar.
There also is the Windows Portable Device API that can access cameras, but that appears to be written in c++, without a .NET wrapper. Does anyone know of a simple tutorial of how I could get .NET to place nice with it? EDIT: Just tried WPD didn't list any devices either. I am beginning to thing this camera doesn't exist.
Any knowledge/ pointers to resources would be appreciated. (So far google has turned up the same few articles, no matter which way I approach the problem)
Turns out my Camera was not WIA compatible. I was able to get the tablet to do what I needed it to do using directshow (actually directshow.net)
Good links if others are trying to do something similar and having similar problems
