2) Make Canvas World Space

Instructions

By default the render mode of the canvas will be set to "Screen Space - Overlay", meaning that the canvas will always overlay the game view. For a world space canvas we want to switch the mode to "World Space".

"Screen Space - Overlay" and "Screen Space - Camera" are not compatible with VR as a render mode for a HUD

  • Change Render Mode of the Canvas to "World Space"
