Are there any relatively low cost 6DOF standalone tracking systems in the wild? The closest thing I know are the Quest Pro controllers, but I don't understand why nobody is building such a thing as a plug an play solution that you can

How about running it inside a VM, they usually emulate PS/2 devices. Or are there similar debuggers natively in something like VirtualBox/VMware already anyway?

We are actively using passthrough in VRWorkout (to be aware of your surroundings while jumping and knee high running) and I have to say that even the low quality Quest 2 passthrough feels magical for that [1]. If you do look at 0:20 you can

I think one big factor is easy entry but almost no limit: Like BASIC back in the day it's a language that allows newcomers to do things long before they are comfortable with the added syntax requirements of C based languages Despite th

We did something similar for VRWorkout where group sessions were available as an external ical calendar. The problem was that one can not add an external calendar to google calendar from the mobile device. Only from the web calendar, which

I believe the bigger "problems" happen when a random laptop is used instead of the few that are rock solidly supported by major distros. I am the same BTW, I usually buy a laptop that maybe kinda supported and then cross my finger

I went for the paid syncing because I want it to "just work" while still having the futureproof way of storing the data locally in an accessible way. So far it has worked absolutely flawless. If I change a file it's changing

Given that not even an artist who handcrafts the whole song does know for sure I'd say they don't. They just use generic enough loops that the result is also too generic to run afoul of someone

Does it make much of a difference if you keep it open for 20 seconds or 2 minutes? I imagine that as soon as most of the cool air has flowed out of it (which should happen quite quickly), the additional energy loss is minimal There are comp

At least in the short term I think they are being more worried about getting shut down by the FCC. They have to fight even for the Supernatural acquisition where they subpoenad SimulaVR to appear as a witness for making their point that the

Sorry if that came over as negative. I really like what they did with it. I am using it in python and getting a video stream into OpenCV and sending commands to the drone is stupidly simple. If you are on the fence I'd say just buy it
