  OpenVR plugin for Unity's XR API

  

I am just trying to make my own apartment in VR. I am not looking to have large audiences for this project, at all. It's just a family project really. I am in the "Unity VR project template" page. It says: "If you are planning to target Valve’s OpenVR platform, you must download Valve’s OpenVR Unity XR Plugin and their SteamVR Unity Plugin for input." Are there really compelling reasons to target the Valve’s OpenVR platform? I would rather keep things as simple and straightforward as possible. Hence, if doing without running the game files in Steam will be easier without sacrificing any essentials then I would.
