XRSettings.LoadDeviceByName

Parameters

Description

Loads the requested device at the beginning of the next frame.

A list of supported devices which can be passed into this function can be obtained from XRSettings.supportedDevices.

In order to check for success, check XRSettings.loadedDeviceName on the next frame.

This function will try to initialize only the device(s) passed in, it will not fall back to other devices in the XRSettings.supportedDevices list. You can pass a list of values to fall back to other devices on failure. If no device could be initialized, it will fall back to XRSettings.loadedDeviceName as an empty string and set XRSettings.enabled to false.

You can disable XR by loading an empty string deviceName.

After loading a device, you may want to enable it with XRSettings.enabled.
