@IrvingWalker82 9 месяцев назад

I would love to see some implementation of a virtual notepad. I think this software looks the closest to being able to have that! There are apps that allow you to use a mouse to ‘write’ notes but the idea of being able to pick up a pen or object and write in vr would open up great options from anyone wanting to use vatsim in VR I think.

@raymondgoubet 9 месяцев назад

Very informative video: thank you Mark! Well it is interesting, but I would prefer having a mixture of reality and Sim in VR. I explain. Put a camera on the VR headset. Then software will allow the user to define an area, of any shape (like the bottom half for example), for real view to appear over sim view. A toggle would swap from full sim view in VR to mixture real view and sim view. Their concept needs lots of menus to match the position of items, and this won't include any other objects like a glass, a pen, anything not controllers. A camera of the real view will always show you all, and we could toggle this. Do you see my idea?

@raymondgoubet 9 месяцев назад

@@bb-sky Yes, and will show everything when the user needs to. We could also mix the sim AND reality, to see both, with a choice to give priority to one, then toggle sim only.

Wonderful and much needed for VR. It would have been cool if you could simply print QR code stickers, attach them to your gear, and have the software pick up the placement and type of gear with the vr headset cameras.

@gerryabbott 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for highlighting this Interesting tech. Must be using the pass through camera for hand position, so that's going to be a requirement. If this can be done, surely the sim publishers can give us hand tracking in the pit. Saw somewhere that the pass through camera will take away FPS, so wonder how efficient its going to be. Holy grail is to have the actual replica hotas in the same position as the ones in the VR world, with hand tracking for all the other buttons. Avatar sitting some where else not properly integrated with the pit, will be an immersion breaker. Its a good step forward though.

@Josh23913 9 месяцев назад

Having virtual representations of my physical controls superimposed on top of the virtual cockpit would be too much of a break in the VR immersion experience for me. But I'm sure there will enough people interested to make it a viable product.

@SimHangerFS 9 месяцев назад

It’s an interesting observation, and one that has occurred to me also.

@86abaile 9 месяцев назад

It's of little use to me unless it works with openXR. If it did though and could be used with DCS standalone, it would be amazing for virtual cockpits (especially if visibility could be toggled with a button). Oddly enough, joystick and throttle visualisation are probably the least useful features of this software; where it will REALLY shine is fixed position keyboards and custom button boxes (no more looking down my nose to try to find my MFDs please).

@Pics2FlicksDennis 9 месяцев назад

@bronco5334 9 месяцев назад

It's a start, but finding joysticks, throttles, and keyboards by feel is pretty easy. We don't REALLY need a VR avatar for that. What we need VR interface with, is individual switches and buttons on button boxes and simpits. And doing that through "avatars" placed purely in VR is the wrong way to go about it. We need mixed-reality. Quest 3 already has excellent passthrough capability; we just need a way to define WHAT AREAS it shows in passthrough and what areas to depict the 3d VR world onto. If we could define an area, either by azimuths, real-world 3d space boundaries, distance from the headset, or greenscreen color-coding, then we could have it automatically show us our simpit and hands in reality, but everything else in VR.

@SJkopa 9 месяцев назад

@GreenBlueWalkthrough 9 месяцев назад

@docslappy8946 9 месяцев назад

Very useful but, for me, very immersion breaking. Unless... It can be set to only show the controller when you move your head close to it or press a specific button. I love the detail of VR cockpits and feeling that I'm really there. Having a ghostly hand and an inappropriate controller spoils that. I use some other software that activates a pass through view, around an object, and that can be set to only activate when your moves closer. I use it to see my keyboard when I need to.

@SimHangerFS 9 месяцев назад

The immersion question you raise could be the make or break for this application.

@Beltalowda666 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Mark, great video. Can't wait for the full review!! I am a little confused about the hand tracking. I assume you would need a VR headset that can track hands.

@skytreks8687 9 месяцев назад

Immersion breaker. Putting a virtual representation of my HC Bravo quadrant would make it 'float' above, say, a 737's console because I have it attached to my desktop. My muscle memory has improved enough I don't need to look at my controls anymore to know where all the switches and knobs are. What I'm still waiting to become available is hand-tracking, or even haptic hand-tracking so my physical hands can interact with all of the many knobs, switches, and buttons I see in the virtual cockpit, which will only serve to enhance immersion vs breaking it.

@StekuVideo 9 месяцев назад

How the hands are tracked? Will it work only with Quest and its native handtracking feature?

@SimHangerFS 9 месяцев назад

Will work if your headset has hand tracking capabilities. So something like Pimax Crystal and Pico 4 would work for example

@laurentsamson8927 9 месяцев назад

Hmm, it's really impressive what this guy managed to do but I find it a bit of an immersion breaker. Personally, I have no problem finding and using my 2 main peripherals, the mouse and the joystick. So I don't want them to appear on the virtual cockpit. The only thing I have some difficulty with is my keyboard accessing certain hotkeys. So it would be great if it was precise enough to let me reach for particular keys instead of just seeing where my keyboard is. Overall, if this program can see my hands in 3D, what I would love to be able to do is actually be able to use them to interact within the cockpit switches.

@JB-fh1bb 9 месяцев назад

Not unless your wooden mockup has functional controls that can be mapped to the flight controls regardless of the VR headset. As far as I’m aware, no one is working on tracking non-functional controls in to VR

@sveng9933 9 месяцев назад

@@JB-fh1bb Thanks for the answer. That's sad because that's what I'm hoping for. But technically it couldn't be so far away, I can use the controller to turn rotarys or push buttons, and they do nothing else than track and tell the pc where my hands are. Am I missing something 🤔

@JB-fh1bb 9 месяцев назад

@@sveng9933 I empathize. It’s especially hard because it’s something that could be done with current tech and much easier with headsets that have the depth sensor. Someone could make software that: sees the wooden mockup, recognizes the things that look like buttons and knobs, tracks hand position as it touches the wood, and gives that back to the VR app as “actual” knob/button interactions. It’s possible it’s just that no one is currently working on it. If you can gather a team feel free to reach out.

@@SimHangerFS But it is the road certain cockpit builders will love to go. In fact, one should see it's own (hardware) cockpit and be able to flip switches, turn dials, tune radios, etc. The only thing they need is the outside view from the top of the glare shield. I'd like to have e.g. a 'blue/green screen' in front of me that gives me (in VR) that view. Would save me 3 large TV's or projectors and a big curved projection screen. 😁

@mururoa7024 4 месяца назад

They should change the Off/On buttons to be On/Off instead. The way they implemented it is reversed to normal logic (e.g. the ON position of the light switches in your house don't turn the lights off). You'd want to click ON to turn something on, instead of clicking OFF. Since it's a toggle button it should also change it's aspect to indicate the toggle state (on vs off). E.g. make it look like an actual switch, or make it glow or change color when it's "active" (just like IRL). There's various ways to solve this, but in general it's a bad practice to change the text on a button upon clicking, as it's likely to confuse users as to what the final state actually is.

I‘m not so sure about this. The yoke is the last thing I need to „see“ when in VR - as a matter of fact, I don‘t even need muscle memory in order to find it. If I‘m correctly positioned in my VR cockpit, it will be in front of me, right where I see the virtul yoke… On the other hand, when I fly for example the P-38, I would not want to see a Warthog throttle (or the Virpil in my case). Seeing the „real“ throttle of my plane in VR is enough to convince me that I am actually operating it, even though my hand is on the Virpil. Just my 2cts…

I think it would be good if, as it can sense hands, could use the same to identify and set positions of peripherals automatically, without the need for the manual drag/stretch activity. Or perhaps could implement some sort of small sticker(s) that could be put on the accessory maybe in a pre-determined location, to help automatically locate and set the position of the items?
