Upgrading from older versions

Upgrading from anything from 2.3+
Delete SteamVR folder and import. Make sure to restart the editor after everything imports successfully. Sometimes dlls get stuck in import limbo.

Upgrading from anything from 2.1 - 2.3
The location of actions.json and associated bindings has changed. They will get automatically moved from project root to StreamingAssets/SteamVR/

Upgrading from version 2.0
You will need to delete your SteamVR/SteamVR_Input folders, Save and Generate, and then re-set your actions that you've assigned in the editor. You do not need to recreate your actions file or bindings files. This was necessary to support Unity's new serialization in 2018/2019. If you've made changes to your SteamVR/Resources/SteamVR_Settings.asset file, remember to keep it.

Upgrading your project from 1.2.3 or below
You will need to delete the SteamVR folder and rewrite your input layer. See the new documentation site here: https://valvesoftware.github.io/steamvr_unity_plugin/ for more information. If you don't want to do that then do not upgrade to this version.

Documentation

Quick Start

If you want to explore the interaction scene you'll need to open the SteamVR Input window (under the Window Menu), click yes to copy example jsons, then click Save and Generate to create input actions.

For the most simple example of VR with tracked controllers see the sample scene at ​SteamVR/Simple Sample

For a more extensive example including picking up, throwing objects, and animated hands see the Interaction System example at ​SteamVR/Interaction System/Samples/Interactions_Example
