LogInPraydog's most ambitious project to date is finally accessible in public beta.
Praydog, a renowned Software Developer and VR Modder, has accomplished a seemingly impossible feat with the successful launch of the Universal Unreal Engine VR Mod (UEVR), a mind-blowing framework that lets you turn any Unreal Engine-powered video game into VR.
Having been in development for quite some time, the modification introduces features like motion control, head tracking, and more to non-VR titles created with Epic Games' flagship engine. Now accessible in public beta, the solution is compatible with Unreal Engine versions 4.8 to 5.3, providing a comprehensive toolset to convert your favorite games into immersive 6DOF VR experiences with minimal effort.
The mod comes with:
- Full 6DOF support out of the box (HMD movement).
- Full stereoscopic 3D out-of-the-box.
- Frontend GUI for easy process injection.
- Supports OpenVR and OpenXR runtimes.
- Native UE4/UE5 stereo rendering system for a truly immersive VR experience.
- 3 rendering modes: Native Stereo, Synchronized Sequential, and Alternating/AFR.
- Optional 3DOF motion controls in many games, essentially emulating a semi-native VR experience.
- Optional roomscale movement in many games, moving the player character itself in 3D space along with the headset.
- User-authored UI-based system for adding motion controls and first-person to games that don't support them.
- Automatic handling of most in-game UI so it is projected into 3D space.
- In-game menu with shortcuts for adjusting settings.
- Access to various CVars for fixing broken shaders/effects.
- Optional depth buffer integration for improved latency on some headsets.
- Per-game configurations.
- C++ Plugin system and Blueprint support for modders to add additional features like motion controls.
