MosisUnreal (Unreal Engine 5.5)
Location: D:\Dev\Mosis\MosisUnreal\Plugins\MosisSDK\
Build Script (Recommended)
Use the build script for one-command builds and deployment:
cd D:\Dev\Mosis\MosisUnreal
:: Build, install, and launch (default)
build-unreal.bat
:: Build APK only
build-unreal.bat build
:: Install to device only (requires prior build)
build-unreal.bat install
:: Launch app (starts MosisService first, then MosisUnreal)
build-unreal.bat launch
:: Clean build artifacts
build-unreal.bat clean
The script auto-detects connected Android devices, handles APK and OBB installation, and properly sequences app launches (MosisService must start before MosisUnreal).

VR Pointer Interaction
The MosisSDK includes UMosisPointerComponent for VR ray-based touch interaction.
Key Files:
Public/MosisPointerComponent.h- Component headerPrivate/MosisPointerComponent.cpp- Implementation
Features:
- Raycast from component transform (attach as child of motion controller)
- Automatic detection of
AMosisPhoneActorhits - Touch state machine: Down/Move/Up events
- Optional Enhanced Input binding via
TriggerActionproperty - Manual control via
SetTriggerPressed(bool) - Debug ray visualization
Blueprint Setup:
- Add
MosisPointerComponentas child ofMotionControllerComponent - Set
TriggerActionto your trigger input action (optional) - Touch events are sent automatically when pointing at phone and triggering
C++ Setup:
// In VR Pawn header
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere)
UMosisPointerComponent* RightPointer;
// In constructor
RightPointer = CreateDefaultSubobject<UMosisPointerComponent>(TEXT("RightPointer"));
RightPointer->SetupAttachment(RightMotionController);
// In BeginPlay (if using Enhanced Input)
RightPointer->TriggerAction = TriggerInputAction;
Manual Control (without Enhanced Input):
// In your input handling code
void AMyVRPawn::OnTriggerPressed()
{
RightPointer->SetTriggerPressed(true);
}
void AMyVRPawn::OnTriggerReleased()
{
RightPointer->SetTriggerPressed(false);
}

MosisVR (Unity 6000.3.2f1)
Location: D:\Dev\Mosis\MosisVR\Packages\com.omixlab.mosis_sdk\
Direct APK Build (Recommended)
"C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\6000.3.2f1\Editor\Unity.exe" ^
-batchmode -quit -nographics ^
-projectPath "D:\Dev\Mosis\MosisVR" ^
-executeMethod BuildScript.BuildAndroidDirectCI ^
-outputPath "D:\Dev\Mosis\Builds\Unity\Android\MosisVR.apk"
Export + Gradle Build
For more control, export a Gradle project then build separately:
:: Step 1: Export from Unity
"C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\6000.3.2f1\Editor\Unity.exe" ^
-batchmode -quit -nographics ^
-projectPath "D:\Dev\Mosis\MosisVR" ^
-executeMethod BuildScript.BuildAndroidCI ^
-export true ^
-outputPath "D:\Dev\Mosis\Builds\Unity\Android\MosisVR"
:: Step 2: Build with Gradle
cd D:\Dev\Mosis\Builds\Unity\Android\MosisVR
gradle assembleRelease
:: APK at: launcher\build\outputs\apk\release\launcher-release.apk
Unity Editor Manual Build
- File > Build Settings > Android
- Player Settings: IL2CPP, ARM64, Vulkan + OpenGLES3
- For direct APK: Uncheck "Export Project", click Build
- For export: Check "Export Project", click Export
Native Plugin Build (Manual)
The native plugin builds automatically via CMake during Unity's build. To rebuild manually:
cd Packages/com.omixlab.mosis_sdk/Plugins/Android/cpp
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=%ANDROID_NDK_HOME%/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake ^
-DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-29
cmake --build build
Device Testing (Both Engines)
# Install MosisService first
adb install -r MosisService-debug.apk
# Install game client
adb install -r MosisUnreal-arm64.apk # or MosisVR.apk
# Launch service
adb shell am start -n com.omixlab.mosis/.MainActivity
# Launch client
adb shell am start -n com.omixlab.MosisUnreal/com.epicgames.unreal.GameActivity
# or for Unity:
adb shell am start -n com.omixlab.mosisvr/com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity
# Monitor all Mosis logs
adb logcat -s MosisSDK MosisTest RMLUI Vulkan
Vulkan HardwareBuffer Import
Both game engines use Vulkan to import AHardwareBuffer from MosisService.
UE5 Implementation
MosisUnreal uses UE5's built-in Vulkan RHI API for hardware buffer import:
#include "IVulkanDynamicRHI.h"
// Import AHardwareBuffer as Vulkan texture (zero-copy)
IVulkanDynamicRHI* VulkanRHI = GetIVulkanDynamicRHI();
FTextureRHIRef ImportedTexture = VulkanRHI->RHICreateTexture2DFromAndroidHardwareBuffer(Buffer);
// GPU-to-GPU copy to destination texture each frame
ENQUEUE_RENDER_COMMAND(CopyMosisTexture)(
[SrcTexture, DstTexture, Width, Height](FRHICommandListImmediate& RHICmdList)
{
RHICmdList.Transition(FRHITransitionInfo(SrcTexture, ERHIAccess::Unknown, ERHIAccess::CopySrc));
RHICmdList.Transition(FRHITransitionInfo(DstTexture, ERHIAccess::Unknown, ERHIAccess::CopyDest));
FRHICopyTextureInfo CopyInfo;
CopyInfo.Size = FIntVector(Width, Height, 1);
RHICmdList.CopyTexture(SrcTexture, DstTexture, CopyInfo);
RHICmdList.Transition(FRHITransitionInfo(DstTexture, ERHIAccess::CopyDest, ERHIAccess::SRVMask));
}
);

Required Vulkan Extensions
UE5's VulkanRHI enables these automatically on Android:
VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer
VK_KHR_external_memory
VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation
Raw Vulkan Import Pattern (Reference)
For custom implementations outside UE5:
// 1. Query buffer properties
VkAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID props = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_PROPERTIES_ANDROID
};
VkAndroidHardwareBufferFormatPropertiesANDROID formatProps = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_FORMAT_PROPERTIES_ANDROID
};
props.pNext = &formatProps;
vkGetAndroidHardwareBufferPropertiesANDROID(device, buffer, &props);
// 2. Create image with external memory
VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfo extInfo = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO,
.handleTypes = VK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_HANDLE_TYPE_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_BIT_ANDROID
};
VkImageCreateInfo imageInfo = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO,
.pNext = &extInfo,
.imageType = VK_IMAGE_TYPE_2D,
.format = formatProps.format,
.extent = {desc.width, desc.height, 1},
.mipLevels = 1,
.arrayLayers = 1,
.samples = VK_SAMPLE_COUNT_1_BIT,
.tiling = VK_IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL,
.usage = VK_IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT | VK_IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT,
.sharingMode = VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE
};
vkCreateImage(device, &imageInfo, nullptr, &image);
// 3. Import memory from HardwareBuffer
VkImportAndroidHardwareBufferInfoANDROID importInfo = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_ANDROID_HARDWARE_BUFFER_INFO_ANDROID,
.buffer = buffer
};
VkMemoryDedicatedAllocateInfo dedicatedInfo = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_DEDICATED_ALLOCATE_INFO,
.pNext = &importInfo,
.image = image
};
VkMemoryAllocateInfo allocInfo = {
.sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_ALLOCATE_INFO,
.pNext = &dedicatedInfo,
.allocationSize = props.allocationSize,
.memoryTypeIndex = FindMemoryType(props.memoryTypeBits, VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_DEVICE_LOCAL_BIT)
};
vkAllocateMemory(device, &allocInfo, nullptr, &memory);
vkBindImageMemory(device, image, memory, 0);
Double Buffering
The imported image is copied to a local texture each frame via GPU copy to prevent data races with MosisService rendering. This is a fast GPU-to-GPU blit operation.
