AR Controller on Windows

Please note - use of an AR Controller device with Windows is currently alpha-quality.

To opt in to testing this Alpha quality feature, uncomment the WINDOWS_BLUETOOTH_ALPHA_OPTIN definition in Packages/AR Controller Beta SDK/Core/Scripts/Interaction/ARController.cs.

Known Issues

  • Scanning for devices is currently not possible. See “Pairing to a device” workaround below.
  • Occasionally, connection will take a long time to be established, or will not be established at all. If connection takes more than ~15s, you may need to exit and re-start Play mode.
  • If the above does not work, you may need to switch your computer to Flight Mode for 10 seconds, close and re-open Unity, then try again.
  • Battery level will not be reported
  • Firmware version will not be checked
