Unity#

MiddleVR is compatible with Unity 2021 LTS, 2022 LTS and Unity 2023.3 / Unity 6. MiddleVR may work with later versions of Unity but has not been yet tested with those. MiddleVR is compatible with the following graphics APIs:

Direct3D 11
Direct3D 12

IL2CPP: If IL2CPP is enabled, your app will compile but synchronization / broadcast messages will not work.

Displays compatibility#

MiddleVR is compatible with projectors, LED panels, regular screens.

Curved LED panels typically use the Mesh Warping feature.

Cluster requirements#

To be able to achieve perfect image synchronization, MiddleVR requires that displays and/or GPU be genlocked together with specific hardware such as NVidia Quadro Sync cards. See Concepts swaplock & genlock.

Without a sync card, MiddleVR can ensure a maximum of one frame delay.

3D monitor or 3D projector compatibility#
