Unity XR platform

Unity XR plugin framework We have been working to improve our multi-platform offering, enabling direct integrations through a unified plugin framework. The resulting tech stack consists of an API that exposes common functionalities across our supported platforms in a frictionless way for creators while enabling XR hardware and software providers to develop their own Unity plugins. This architecture offers the following benefits: Multi-platform developer tools such as AR Foundation and the XR Interaction Toolkit  Faster partner updates from supported plugins via the Unity Package Manager  More platforms have access to an interface to leverage Unity’s XR rendering optimizations and developer tools Unity has developed new XR plugins for our supported platforms as part of this shift. Additionally, we have deprecated our built-in platform implementations in 2019.3.  This framework will influence how we support various types of platforms: Officially supported platforms
