XR Origin

In the newest, XR Interaction Toolkit, the XR Rig is called XR Origin. Please, also see the manual on Configuring your Unity Project for XR. You can use the newest version of the XR Interaction Toolkit, i.e., 2.0.x. in Unity 2019.4.x.

On the XR Origin object, set “Tracking Origin Mode” to “Floor”, see also.

This is optional as it needs high tech-specs and a windows machine. You can find the instructions here.
