What Is UEVR, and How Can It Make Almost Any Game Work in VR?
Converting regular flat video games into VR is usually something that takes developers a significant amount of time and money, but the UEVR mod promises to instantly convert thousands of games to VR without any effort from the developers themselves.
What Is UEVR?
UEVR is an open-source tool that turns Unreal Engine games into VR games with full 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) and baked-in VR concessions such as firearm free aiming or melee, as well as interactivity with the environment.
As you might have guessed from the name, the "UE" in UEVR is short for "Unreal Engine." Unreal is one of the most popular video game engines, and an enormous number of games are created using it. Games built using Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5 can be converted to VR using this mod, because those engines have built-in features to help developers create VR versions of their games.
What sets UEVR apart is how user-friendly it is. It has a graphical interface, which means you don't have to deal with any nerdy command line stuff. Just click a few buttons and you'll be immersed in your favorite UE game in no time.
How to Use UEVR
After downloading and installing UEVR, getting started with UEVR is surprisingly straightforward. The process involves launching the UEVR application, starting the game you wish to convert, and then using the tool to "inject" VR capabilities into the game. This injection process is the magic behind UEVR, transforming traditional games into VR-ready adventures with just a few clicks.
If that was all it did, it would be impressive enough, but the mod has a huge number of options to customize the experience. There are numerous interface and performance tweaks to help you get a specific game to work as well as possible. UEVR, while itself a mod, lets others create mods for specific games that work with UEVR. For example, if a given game doesn't work with motion controls, you can often get a plugin for UEVR that adds this feature to that particular game.
