> 2. We'll consider adding a keyboard/mouse as optional add-ons. We have thought about including a "keyboard apron" as an item add-on that is actually differentiated from other keyboards, and one that would be particularly useful for VR computing (with the added freedom of movement).[1] Would something like this interest you? Note that we'd use a more accessible keyboard than the 40% "Corne keyboard" one shown in the photo.
I can't use a computer without having a keyboard, and I can't use a keyboard without being able to see it.
If you can solve both of those, then I'll seriously consider acquiring one. Perhaps not version one, but version two for sure. Something closer to a traditional keyboard would suit me better, however; I'm not likely to be walking around while wearing this.
- mtsr 5y agoMany of the target users are probably perfect touch typists. But according to the product comparison the SimulaVR also has handtracking. I wonder if it'd be possible to track hands and keyboard accurately enough for those who are not perfect touch typists.
- moron4hire 5y agoThe Quest 2 can do it with two specific models of keyboards (Logitech K830 and more recently Apple Magic Keyboard), so it should't be outside of the realm possibility.
- zeeb 5y agoSimulaVR has a "webcam view" that allows you to see your mouse and keyboard through passthrough video: https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula#mouse--keyboard-view https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula#mouse--keyboard-view
- kanetw 5y agoYep, and with our headset we'll have full background replacement. We've tested it internally with two off the shelf cameras but it's not public yet.

- georgewsinger 5y agoOur headset supports an "AR Mode", which which allows you to see keys on your keyboard when it's placed in front of you.[1][2] (This is the main reason why our headset has AR Mode: not every is 100% proficient at touch-typing, and being able to see your keyboard is key for productivity if you can't). [1] Here's the snazzy demonstration of AR mode in our sales copy: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0558/4591/2646/files/SimulaOne_AR_Mode_535x.gif?v=1644970598 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0558/4591/2646/files/Simul... [2] Here's a more down to earth video of us testing AR mode last summer in our compositor: https://youtu.be/6H5-mdGpKZg https://youtu.be/6H5-mdGpKZg Note this is just an early test with a single fish eye lens (grainy; distortion not corrected). Our actual AR mode is much higher quality than this. Expect discussion of the technical details in our upcoming blog posts/updates.
