Setting up OpenXR in Godot 4.3 involves enabling the OpenXR plugin and wiring an XROrigin3D node into your scene. This establishes the foundational VR architecture for controllers, hands, and passthrough configurations.

XROrigin3D scaffolding is the process of building the core XR scene architecture in Godot, anchoring the player's spatial origin. It is required to properly position VR controllers, hand tracking, and passthrough layers within the 3D environment.

Enabling hand tracking and controller input involves configuring interaction primitives within your XROrigin3D setup. This wires OpenXR input actions for motion controllers and tracked hands directly into your VR and AR interfaces.

Yes, you can export Godot 4.3 VR apps to Meta Quest by applying specific Quest export settings. This configures your OpenXR project to meet standalone headset performance profiles and ensures platform compatibility.

OpenXR passthrough works with Godot 4.3 for AR workflows by enabling specific passthrough layers within the XR scene architecture. This allows mixed reality experiences by overlaying virtual UI and objects onto the real-world environment.

The best way to handle XR UI in Godot is configuring interaction primitives mapped through OpenXR input actions. This standardizes user interface interactions across both VR controllers and hand tracking inputs within your 3D environment.
