Ok so there where we are today. There’s my Gantt chart on next versions upcoming.
The goal here is to solve all main concerns, since I (as a researcher and entrepreneur) and us (interest and developer group) need a well-working template for research and commercial purpose starting soon.
So here there are the upcoming projects:
Template 1.2: Same as 2.3, without the multiplayer functionalities
Template 2.3: All functionalities of 2.2 updated, see Gantt below
Template 2.3, Oculus-version: While standard, no-plugin 2.3 version will allow Direct-Connection between 2 Oculus users via Oculus Network, a plugin is needed to find sessions via this network and use Oculus Avatars. This version will also use the latest runtime 1.14 ( see Home - Meta Community Forums ) for more infos.
Finally, I’ll update the single player, SteamVR Template to 4.16 and optimize it. Give me a week or two for that. See Steam VR Template - XR Development - Epic Developer Community Forums for more infos.
The goal here will then to give more love to the Windows Mixed Reality and convert the Template to it because there are a lot of projects coming for that. The future is definitely a mix of VR and AR.
There’s my Gantt chart on next features for 2.3:
