Add the Mixed Reality OpenXR Plugin to your existing Unity project

If you have a Unity project that’s already set up for OpenXR (you have the Unity OpenXR plugin installed and configured) and you want to add the capability to target your app for HoloLens 2 or Windows Mixed Reality headsets, follow the instructions below.

To determine if your project has the Mixed Reality OpenXR plugin installed:

1. In Unity, on the menu bar, select Edit > Project Settings.
2. Ensure that you’re on the XR Plug-in Management page with the Universal Windows Platform settings (Windows logo tab) displayed.

3. If Microsoft HoloLens feature group is grayed out or doesn’t exist, the Mixed Reality OpenXR plugin isn’t installed.
