Android XR Updates for Unity, Unreal, and Godot

Posted by Luke Hopkins, Android Developer Relations Engineer for OpenXR & Ryan Bartley, Android XR Product ManagerToday, we are excited to announce that official support for Unreal Engine and Godot has arrived for Android XR.

This means you can iterate on complex interactions in "Play Mode" while receiving live, high-fidelity data from the headset’s sensors. Without this streaming capability, testing even a minor change to eye-tracking or spatial mapping would require a full APK export and installation. The Hub enables low-latency testing for the following streamed extensions: Core & Interaction Support XR_EXT_hand_tracking & hand_interaction: Streams 26-point hand meshes and joint data for immediate interaction testing. XR_EXT_eye_gaze_interaction: Virtualizes eye-gaze data to test UI and foveated logic on your PC. XR_EXT_palm_pose & XR_EXT_uuid: Real-time precision tracking and persistent object ID streaming.
