Preview any mesh or animation in VR!

Persona Editor VR is an Unreal Engine editor plugin that renders the Persona animation preview scene (used by the Skeleton, Animation, Skeletal Mesh, and Animation Blueprint editors) to an OpenXR HMD in head-tracked stereo. Judge scale, proportion and weight the way you simply cannot on a flat monitor.

Persona Editor VR is currently only tested using Meta Quest headsets (via Quest Link).

The plugin is driven entirely by console commands:

• PersonaVR.Toggle - start/stop the VR preview on the most recently opened Persona editor

• PersonaVR.Recenter - re-zero the headset to the anchor camera

• PersonaVR.Status - log XR, stereo and session state for troubleshooting

Required engine plugins: Persona Editor VR depends on Epic's OpenXR and XRBase plugins, which it enables automatically. Both ship with Unreal Engine. No third-party code is included or downloaded.

Important notes:

- Persona Editor VR is currently only tested using Meta Quest headsets (via Quest Link).

- Editor-only. The plugin does not run in packaged builds.

- Windows (Win64) only.

- Viewing and recentering only - no motion controller or hand-tracking
