Fundamentos de Design VR

Comfort e Motion Sickness

Motion sickness é o killer #1 de experiências VR. Prevenir é essencial:

Locomotion Strategies:

public class VRLocomotion : MonoBehaviour {
    public enum LocomotionType {
        Teleportation,      // Most comfortable
        SmoothLocomotion,   // Can cause sickness
        ArmSwinging,        // Natural feeling
        Dash,               // Quick transitions
        RoomScale           // Physical walking only
    }

    // Teleportation implementation
    public void TeleportPlayer(Vector3 destination) {
        // Fade to black
        StartCoroutine(FadeOut(0.1f));

        // Move player
        player.transform.position = destination;

        // Fade back in
        StartCoroutine(FadeIn(0.1f));
    }

    // Comfort options
    [Header("Comfort Settings")]
    public bool useVignette = true;        // Reduce FOV during motion
    public bool useSnapTurning = true;     // Discrete rotation
    public float snapAngle = 30f;
    public bool useTeleportArc = true;
    public bool showGroundGrid = true;     // Reference frame
}

Vignetting System:

public class ComfortVignette : MonoBehaviour {
    private Material vignetteMaterial;
    private float currentIntensity = 0f;

    void Update() {
        // Calculate vignette based on movement speed
        float speed = playerController.velocity.magnitude;
        float targetIntensity = Mathf.Clamp01(speed / maxSpeed);

        // Angular velocity também contribui
        float angularSpeed = playerController.angularVelocity.magnitude;
        targetIntensity = Mathf.Max(targetIntensity, angularSpeed / maxAngularSpeed);

        // Smooth transition
        currentIntensity = Mathf.Lerp(currentIntensity, targetIntensity, Time.deltaTime * 5f);

        // Apply vignette
        vignetteMaterial.SetFloat("_VignetteIntensity", currentIntensity * maxVignetteStrength);
    }
}

Hand Interaction Design

Physics-Based Hands:

public class VRHand : MonoBehaviour {
    private XRController controller;
    private Rigidbody handRigidbody;

    [Header("Grab Settings")]
    public float grabRadius = 0.1f;
    public LayerMask grabbableLayer;
    public Transform palmAnchor;

    private GameObject grabbedObject;
    private FixedJoint grabJoint;

    void Update() {
        // Check for grab input
        if (controller.selectAction.triggered) {
            TryGrab();
        } else if (controller.selectAction.released) {
            Release();
        }
    }

    void TryGrab() {
        // Sphere cast from palm
        Collider[] colliders = Physics.OverlapSphere(palmAnchor.position, grabRadius, grabbableLayer);

        if (colliders.Length > 0) {
            // Get closest grabbable
            GameObject closest = GetClosestGrabbable(colliders);

            if (closest != null) {
                Grab(closest);
            }
        }
    }

    void Grab(GameObject target) {
        grabbedObject = target;

        // Create joint connection
        grabJoint = gameObject.AddComponent<FixedJoint>();
        grabJoint.connectedBody = target.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

        // Haptic feedback
        controller.SendHapticImpulse(0.5f, 0.1f);

        // Trigger grab events
        target.SendMessage("OnGrabbed", this, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
    }

    void Release() {
        if (grabbedObject != null) {
            // Calculate throw velocity
            Rigidbody rb = grabbedObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
            rb.velocity = controller.velocity;
            rb.angularVelocity = controller.angularVelocity;

            // Destroy joint
            Destroy(grabJoint);

            // Trigger release events
            grabbedObject.SendMessage("OnReleased", this, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);

            grabbedObject = null;
        }
    }
}

UI/UX em VR

Spatial UI Best Practices:

public class VRUIPanel : MonoBehaviour {
    [Header("Positioning")]
    public float preferredDistance = 2f;    // Arm's length
    public float minDistance = 0.5f;
    public float maxDistance = 5f;

    [Header("Behavior")]
    public bool followPlayer = false;
    public bool billboardMode = true;       // Always face player
    public float followSmoothing = 5f;

    private Transform playerHead;

    void Start() {
        playerHead = Camera.main.transform;

        // Position at comfortable distance
        PositionPanel();
    }

    void PositionPanel() {
        Vector3 forward = playerHead.forward;
        forward.y = 0; // Keep level
        forward.Normalize();

        transform.position = playerHead.position + forward * preferredDistance;
        transform.position += Vector3.up * -0.2f; // Slightly below eye level

        transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(forward);
    }

    void Update() {
        if (billboardMode) {
            // Face player constantly
            Vector3 lookDirection = playerHead.position - transform.position;
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(-lookDirection);
        }

        if (followPlayer) {
            // Smooth follow
            Vector3 targetPos = playerHead.position + playerHead.forward * preferredDistance;
            transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, targetPos, Time.deltaTime * followSmoothing);
        }
    }
}

Laser Pointer Interaction:

public class VRLaserPointer : MonoBehaviour {
    public LineRenderer laser;
    public float maxDistance = 10f;
    public GameObject reticle;

    private VRUIInteractable currentTarget;

    void Update() {
        RaycastHit hit;
        Vector3 endPoint = transform.position + transform.forward * maxDistance;

        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, out hit, maxDistance)) {
            endPoint = hit.point;

            // Check for UI element
            VRUIInteractable interactable = hit.collider.GetComponent<VRUIInteractable>();

            if (interactable != null) {
                if (currentTarget != interactable) {
                    // Enter new target
                    currentTarget?.OnPointerExit();
                    currentTarget = interactable;
                    currentTarget.OnPointerEnter();
                }

                // Handle click
                if (Input.GetButtonDown("Trigger")) {
                    currentTarget.OnPointerClick();
                }
            } else if (currentTarget != null) {
                // Left UI element
                currentTarget.OnPointerExit();
                currentTarget = null;
            }

            // Position reticle
            reticle.transform.position = hit.point;
            reticle.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal);
            reticle.SetActive(true);
        } else {
            reticle.SetActive(false);
            currentTarget?.OnPointerExit();
            currentTarget = null;
        }

        // Update laser visual
        laser.SetPosition(0, transform.position);
        laser.SetPosition(1, endPoint);
    }
}

Desenvolvimento AR: Mundo Real Como Canvas

ARCore/ARKit Fundamentals

Plane Detection e Placement:

using UnityEngine.XR.ARFoundation;

public class ARPlacement : MonoBehaviour {
    public ARRaycastManager raycastManager;
    public ARPlaneManager planeManager;
    public GameObject objectToPlace;

    private List<ARRaycastHit> hits = new List<ARRaycastHit>();
    private GameObject spawnedObject;

    void Update() {
        if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
            Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);

            if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began) {
                PlaceObject(touch.position);
            }
        }
    }

    void PlaceObject(Vector2 screenPos) {
        // Raycast against detected planes
        if (raycastManager.Raycast(screenPos, hits, TrackableType.PlaneWithinPolygon)) {
            Pose hitPose = hits[0].pose;

            if (spawnedObject == null) {
                // First placement
                spawnedObject = Instantiate(objectToPlace, hitPose.position, hitPose.rotation);
            } else {
                // Move existing object
                spawnedObject.transform.position = hitPose.position;
                spawnedObject.transform.rotation = hitPose.rotation;
            }

            // Align with plane
            ARPlane plane = planeManager.GetPlane(hits[0].trackableId);
            if (plane.alignment == PlaneAlignment.HorizontalUp) {
                // Floor placement
                Vector3 pos = spawnedObject.transform.position;
                pos.y = plane.center.y;
                spawnedObject.transform.position = pos;
            }
        }
    }
}

Image Tracking AR:

public class ARImageTracking : MonoBehaviour {
    public ARTrackedImageManager imageManager;
    public GameObject[] arPrefabs; // Indexed by image library

    void OnEnable() {
        imageManager.trackedImagesChanged += OnTrackedImagesChanged;
    }

    void OnTrackedImagesChanged(ARTrackedImagesChangedEventArgs args) {
        // New images detected
        foreach (var trackedImage in args.added) {
            UpdateImage(trackedImage);
        }

        // Images updated
        foreach (var trackedImage in args.updated) {
            UpdateImage(trackedImage);
        }
    }

    void UpdateImage(ARTrackedImage trackedImage) {
        string imageName = trackedImage.referenceImage.name;
        GameObject prefab = GetPrefabForImage(imageName);

        if (trackedImage.trackingState == TrackingState.Tracking) {
            // Position AR content
            prefab.transform.position = trackedImage.transform.position;
            prefab.transform.rotation = trackedImage.transform.rotation;
            prefab.SetActive(true);
        } else {
            // Lost tracking
            prefab.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
}

Occlusion e Lighting

Depth-Based Occlusion:

public class AROcclusion : MonoBehaviour {
    public AROcclusionManager occlusionManager;
    private Shader occlusionShader;

    void Start() {
        // Custom shader that uses depth
        occlusionShader = Shader.Find("AR/OcclusionShader");

        foreach (Renderer renderer in GetComponentsInChildren<Renderer>()) {
            renderer.material.shader = occlusionShader;
        }
    }

    void Update() {
        // Pass depth texture to shaders
        if (occlusionManager.humanDepthTexture != null) {
            Shader.SetGlobalTexture("_HumanDepth", occlusionManager.humanDepthTexture);
            Shader.SetGlobalFloat("_DepthScale", 1f / occlusionManager.humanDepthTexture.width);
        }
    }
}

Light Estimation:

public class ARLightEstimation : MonoBehaviour {
    public Light directionalLight;
    public ARLightEstimationData lightData;

    void Update() {
        if (lightData.averageBrightness.HasValue) {
            directionalLight.intensity = lightData.averageBrightness.Value;
        }

        if (lightData.averageColorTemperature.HasValue) {
            directionalLight.color = Mathf.CorrelatedColorTemperatureToRGB(
                lightData.averageColorTemperature.Value
            );
        }

        if (lightData.mainLightDirection.HasValue) {
            directionalLight.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(
                lightData.mainLightDirection.Value
            );
        }
    }
}

Otimização para XR

Performance Targets

VR Requirements Rígidos:

Quest 3:
- 90 FPS sustained (nunca menos)
- 72 FPS modo economia
- <4ms CPU frame time
- <11ms GPU frame time
- 4GB RAM disponível

PSVR2:
- 90 ou 120 FPS
- Native 2000x2040 por olho
- Foveated rendering suportado

PC VR:
- 90-144 FPS (depende do headset)
- Super sampling comum
- 8GB VRAM recommended

Rendering Optimization

Fixed Foveated Rendering:

public class FoveatedRendering : MonoBehaviour {
    public enum FoveationLevel {
        Off,
        Low,      // 10% reduction
        Medium,   // 25% reduction
        High,     // 40% reduction
        HighTop   // 50% reduction, more on top
    }

    void SetFoveationLevel(FoveationLevel level) {
        #if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
        // Quest specific
        OVRManager.foveatedRenderingLevel = (OVRManager.FoveatedRenderingLevel)level;
        OVRManager.useDynamicFoveatedRendering = true;
        #endif

        #if UNITY_PS5
        // PSVR2 foveation
        PlayStationVR2.SetFoveatedRenderingLevel((int)level);
        #endif
    }
}

Multi-Resolution Shading:

// Shader optimization for periphery
fixed4 frag(v2f i) : SV_Target {
    // Calculate distance from center
    float2 screenPos = i.screenPos.xy / i.screenPos.w;
    float distFromCenter = length(screenPos);

    // Reduce quality based on distance
    if (distFromCenter > 0.7) {
        // Peripheral vision - low quality
        return tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv); // No lighting
    } else if (distFromCenter > 0.4) {
        // Mid quality
        return SimpleLighting(i);
    } else {
        // Full quality in center
        return FullPBRLighting(i);
    }
}

Batching e Instancing

Dynamic Batching para VR:

public class VRBatchOptimizer : MonoBehaviour {
    void OptimizeScene() {
        // Combine static meshes
        StaticBatchingUtility.Combine(gameObject);

        // Enable GPU instancing on materials
        foreach (Renderer renderer in FindObjectsOfType<Renderer>()) {
            foreach (Material mat in renderer.sharedMaterials) {
                mat.enableInstancing = true;
            }
        }

        // Reduce draw calls via texture atlasing
        CreateTextureAtlas();

        // LOD setup aggressive
        SetupAggressiveLODs();
    }

    void SetupAggressiveLODs() {
        foreach (LODGroup lodGroup in FindObjectsOfType<LODGroup>()) {
            LOD[] lods = new LOD[3];

            lods[0] = new LOD(0.4f, lodGroup.GetLODs()[0].renderers);  // Close
            lods[1] = new LOD(0.15f, lodGroup.GetLODs()[1].renderers); // Medium
            lods[2] = new LOD(0.05f, lodGroup.GetLODs()[2].renderers); // Far

            lodGroup.SetLODs(lods);
            lodGroup.RecalculateBounds();
        }
    }
}

Frameworks e SDKs

Unity XR Toolkit

using UnityEngine.XR.Interaction.Toolkit;

public class XRSetup : MonoBehaviour {
    void SetupXRRig() {
        // Create XR Origin
        GameObject xrOrigin = new GameObject("XR Origin");
        xrOrigin.AddComponent<XROrigin>();
        xrOrigin.AddComponent<InputActionManager>();

        // Camera setup
        GameObject cameraOffset = new GameObject("Camera Offset");

using UnityEngine.XR.OpenXR;

public class OpenXRManager : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        // Detect current platform
        OpenXRSettings settings = OpenXRSettings.Instance;

        if (settings != null) {
            // Configure features based on platform
            foreach (var feature in settings.features) {
                Debug.Log($"Feature available: {feature.name}");

                // Enable platform-specific features
                if (feature is MetaQuestFeature && Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android) {
                    EnableQuestFeatures();

                    EnableHandTracking();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    void EnableQuestFeatures() {
        // Quest-specific optimizations
        OVRManager.cpuLevel = 3;
        OVRManager.gpuLevel = 3;
        Application.targetFrameRate = 90;
    }

Gorilla Tag: Viral Locomotion

Innovation:

  • No buttons locomotion
  • Physical = fun
  • Social viral moments
  • Free-to-play smart
// Gorilla movement simplified
public class GorillaMovement : MonoBehaviour {
    public Transform leftHand, rightHand;
    private Rigidbody rb;
    private Vector3 lastLeftPos, lastRightPos;

    void FixedUpdate() {
        // Calculate hand velocities
        Vector3 leftVel = (leftHand.position - lastLeftPos) / Time.fixedDeltaTime;
        Vector3 rightVel = (rightHand.position - lastRightPos) / Time.fixedDeltaTime;

        // Only push when hands moving down and forward
        if (leftVel.y < -1f && leftHand.position.y < transform.position.y) {
            rb.AddForce(-leftVel * pushForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }

        if (rightVel.y < -1f && rightHand.position.y < transform.position.y) {
            rb.AddForce(-rightVel * pushForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }

        lastLeftPos = leftHand.position;
        lastRightPos = rightHand.position;
    }
}

Desenvolvendo para o Metaverso

Social VR Fundamentals

Avatar Systems:

public class MetaverseAvatar : MonoBehaviour {
    [Header("IK Targets")]
    public Transform headTarget;
    public Transform leftHandTarget;
    public Transform rightHandTarget;

    private Animator animator;
    private PhotonView photonView;

    void Start() {
        if (photonView.IsMine) {
            // Map to VR tracking
            MapToVRDevices();
        } else {
            // Replicate networked player
            EnableNetworkInterpolation();
        }
    }

    void UpdateIK() {
        // Full body IK from 3 points
        animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.Head, 1);
        animator.SetIKRotationWeight(AvatarIKGoal.Head, 1);
        animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.Head, headTarget.position);
        animator.SetIKRotation(AvatarIKGoal.Head, headTarget.rotation);

        // Hands
        animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.LeftHand, 1);
        animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.LeftHand, leftHandTarget.position);

        animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.RightHand, 1);
        animator.SetIKPosition(AvatarIKGoal.RightHand, rightHandTarget.position);

        // Estimate body position
        EstimateBodyFromHMD();
    }
}

Persistent Worlds

World State Synchronization:

public class PersistentWorld : MonoBehaviourPun {
    private Dictionary<string, WorldObject> worldObjects = new Dictionary<string, WorldObject>();

    [PunRPC]
    void SyncWorldState(string objectId, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation, string metadata) {
        if (!worldObjects.ContainsKey(objectId)) {
            // Spawn new object
            GameObject obj = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(prefabName, position, rotation);
            worldObjects[objectId] = obj.GetComponent<WorldObject>();
        } else {
            // Update existing
            worldObjects[objectId].UpdateState(position, rotation, metadata);
        }

        // Persist to backend
        SaveToDatabase(objectId, position, rotation, metadata);
    }

    async void SaveToDatabase(string id, Vector3 pos, Quaternion rot, string meta) {
        var data = new {
            objectId = id,
            position = new float[] { pos.x, pos.y, pos.z },
            rotation = new float[] { rot.x, rot.y, rot.z, rot.w },
            metadata = meta,
            timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow
        };

        await FirebaseDatabase.DefaultInstance
            .GetReference($"worlds/{worldId}/objects/{id}")
            .SetRawJsonValueAsync(JsonUtility.ToJson(data));
    }
}

Oportunidades são vastas:

  • Gaming é apenas começo
  • Education, training, therapy
  • Social experiences
  • Digital commerce
  • Remote collaboration

Indies têm vantagem única: agilidade. Enquanto AAA studios movem devagar, você pode experimentar, pivotar, inovar. O mercado recompensa originalidade sobre orçamento.

Hardware está pronto. SDKs são acessíveis. Comunidade é supportiva. Documentação é comprehensive.

A barreira não é técnica—é imaginação. O que você criará quando as limitações da tela plana desaparecerem?

O metaverso está sendo construído agora. Cada app contribui. Cada experiência define expectativas. Seja parte dos arquitetos, não apenas usuários.

Coloque o headset. Abra o Unity. Create something impossível.

O futuro é tridimensional. Entre nele.
