How to write a multiplayer Oculus Rift game in Unity and Photon Convrge VR 2015-05-25 | Summary:Import the Photon and Oculus Unity integrations.Drag the Oculus Player Controller prefab into your scene.Create a C# script to handle connecting to the network and instantiating the player, attach this to an empty GameObject (script is copied below).Create a C# script to handle the player synchronization (script is copied below).Create an empty GameObject for the player synchronization, add a photon view to this, and add the above script component to this.Turn this GameObject into a prefab by dragging it into the Resources folder (this is also necessary to use this prefab with the Photon instantiate call).Once the player prefab is instantiated we attach our own player to the CenterEyeAnchor of the Oculus Player Controller. Then we use the position/rotation of the Player controller for the global position of your avatar and the position/rotation of the CenterEyeAnchor for the local position.Voila. Start game.Scripts:gist.github.com/haydenjameslee/499483f79620bb36607d#file-networkedplayer-csgist.github.com/haydenjameslee/b549213497fa6cf702d2#file-networkcontroller-csBlog Post:http://www.convrge.co/multiplayer-oculus-rift-games-in-unity-tutorial
