Unreal Engine VR Template 4.13 overview - VR Diary Episode 2

This is a video overview of the new "Virtual Reality" Template scene included in the upcoming Unreal Engine 4.13. This template scene is a fantastic launchpad for anyone looking to create seated, standing or room-scale interactive Virtual Reality experiences. It includes generic motion controller support. In this video we give an overview of the 2 main systems included in the Unreal Engine 4.13 VR template. We focus only on the motion controller demo scene, demonstrating these systems with the HTC Vive. There's a teleport locomotion system which includes a visualization of your room bounds and your orientation in 3D space. There's also a very nice and simple pickup system that provides visual and haptic feedback as you approach, pickup and drop objects. It has great physics support and is very responsive. We were excited to hear that Unreal Engine finally offers a Virtual Reality template 'out of the box' and we are very impressed with it!
