How can we improve the Oculus Rift platform?

← Oculus Rift S and Rift

Give us a standing/sitting mode for the Rift S

I like to sit down at my desk and watch bigscreen which is seperate from my Place Space, but when I do that on some games it positions me as super far from center in Bigscreen occasionally and also it always trips my boundary visuals, so I have had to turn them off, which is a bit dangerous. Please allow us to change to 3DOF mode from the dash quick settings menu :)

    WHY IS THIS NOT A THING? WE NEED IT!

    Instead of putting ads on your software, try putting first features and QoL improvements that WE NEED.

    We need some sort of height adjustment, how hard is this to understand and implement??? Is such a basic thing that is silly that we have to beg for it! C'mon Oculus!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

    There's plenty of long-form games that would greatly benefit from this. A "height offset" or "manual height" feature would make the Rift S near perfect.

    Fallout 4 VR is a pain to keep standing for more than hour in, seriously

    I have fatal errors when I try to setup the guardian. Since I cannot adjust the height through this procedure, I have the same issues with many other users I just read their comments. Let us adjust our height manually too if we wish

    Yes please, it would be great to have the choice. Too, I usually like playing during the night, it would be nice to be able to play in the darkness without needing any lights in 3DOF.

    Yes, we need a sitting mode, or allow us to set the heigh manually. I can't play some games because I'm too near from the floor.

  • Sergio commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please, we need that mode.
    I don’t have the space to play in other way than sitting .

    This should be easy to implement.

    I like the Rift S. I don’t want to return it.

    c'mon man its been how long? how hard is it to add this feature. Some of us have medical issues and cant stand. Its not very fun being 3ft tall in a game. I'm about to go back to my CV1.

  • P W commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    A simple controller input to reset position is being built into a lot of games now (iracing and No Man's Sky on my part) so, as with NMS, maybe a 'depress both thumbsticks' to reset position would be handy?

  • Nelavik commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I want a reset height view button to set my virtual height to what I choose to be my height like we could do with the CV1. I don't want it to be a 3DOF mode tough.

    Just bought and got and rift s from a rift cv1 and im crying, that this havent been done yet, please lets us, decide own height manually like the cv1.

    I'm in a wheelchair after a cervical spine injury - quadruplegia. Unfortunately I am handicapped in the virtual world too.
    Yes, give us please sitting mode to play games. Also grabbing things is a big problem (fine motor skill is gone). My dream is the mouse and keyboard support, but that is probably unrealistic. Maybe auto toggle pickup or something like that.

    Thank you for doing something for us and sorry for english

    I can't stand up for long periods of time so I have to play VR games while sitting down. With the Rift CV1 you could set your height manually so that every game thought you were tall. Now that I have a Rift S, it does it automatically and it makes me look like I'm 4 feet tall.

    Some games allow you to adjust height but many don't as they rely on the Oculus settings. This is a major oversight and it really makes me sad. I love VR and I feel that a lot of games will be ruined for me.

    I've tried resetting the guardian system while sitting down, and resetting the view while in a game and nothing works. Please bring this feature back!

  • Xaveri Quinonez commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I can only play VR while sitting and on the new Rift S the floor is detected automatically and you can't set it manually like you could with Rift CV1. Because of this I'm 4 feet tall in every game I play. Please allow us to have a sitting mode so we can play games properly.
