Note

If a Mixed Reality Toolkit package is removed using the Unity Package Manager, it will have to be re-added using the previously described steps.

Using Mixed Reality Toolkit examples

Unlike when using asset package (.unitypackage) files, com.microsoft.mixedreality.toolkit.examples and com.microsoft.mixedreality.toolkit.handphysicsservice do not automatically import the example scenes and assets.

To utilize one or more of the examples, please use the following steps:

  1. In the Unity Editor, navigate to Window > Package Manager
  2. In the list of packages, select Mixed Reality Toolkit Examples
  3. Locate the desired sample(s) in the Samples list
  4. Click Import into Project

Importing samples

When an example package is updated, Unity provides the option to update imported samples.

Note

Updating an imported sample will overwrite any changes that have been made to that sample and the associated assets.
