Oculus Go development transplantation must know: support Gear VR application does not support Google Play, the old SDK

With Oculus's first VR all-in-one Oculus Go coming to market, the company recently shared with developers how to bring Gear VR applications to Oculus Go.

Oculus wrote in an official blog post that Oculus Go provides binary compatibility support for Gear VR, and most applications that support Gear VR can be launched on Oculus Go without making any changes. But Oculus pointed out the key differences between the two mobile VR heads, and developers need to consider this:

Google Play Services: Unlike Samsung Galaxy devices running Gear VR, Oculus Go does not have Google Play Services installed. When running an app on Oculus Go, you can't rely on Google Play Services, such as Google Firebase, Google Cloud Messaging, etc., or third-party libraries that rely on Google Play Services, such as OneSignal.

2D Surfaces: Oculus Go doesn't have a 2D mobile display, so some application behavior doesn't make sense on Oculus Go, such as push notifications or verification via a separate Android application.

Camera: Oculus Gom does not have a camera and cannot run apps that require access to the camera.

Head-Touch Pad: The Oculus Go doesn't have a touchpad. When running on Oculus Go, your application should not use the head-mounted touchpad.

Different controllers: The Oculus Go controller and the Gear VR controller share the same input: Both are 3-DOF controllers that support clickable touchpads and forefinger triggers. Although the two devices provide the same input, the physical design of each device is different. If your application shows a visible controller, you should change the displayed model based on whether you are running on Gear VR or Oculus Go. Alternatively, you can choose a stylized controller model that is different from the Oculus Go controller and the Gear VR controller.

Requires the latest SDK: Some older Gear VR apps are still pre-release versions of Mobile SDK 1.0, which Oculus Go does not support.

In addition, Oculus briefly elaborates on some new features that developers can consider, such as fixed gaze rendering, dynamic throttling, and an optional 72 Hz mode. Oculus also recommends that developers use specific versions of development tools to access these features:

Extended reading: extracting maximum potential, detailed interpretation of Oculus Go's three key technologies: dynamic throttling, 72 Hz mode, fixed gaze point rendering

We recommend using the following tools to develop content for Oculus Go and Gear VR:

Use Unity 5.6.5p2 or 2017.4.2 with Oculus Utils 1.24.1 or later (all of the new features described here are needed).

Unreal4.18 extracted from Oculus's GitHub image.

For native code applications, Mobile SDK 1.21 or later is recommended.

Oculus was initially released in 2017, and many developers now have access to equipment. It is expected that the product will soon land on the market. The earliest may be the Facebook F8 conference held early next month.
