Virtual reality technologies offer extraordinary inclusion opportunities for people living with physical limitations. My son lives with SMA, a rare genetic disease. His medical condition forces him to live lying down most of the time. It would be wonderful if there could be an accessibility feature that allowed the oculus to be used while lying down. Without our sight could only being directed towards the sky.

need this

I also miss this feature. It is very surprising its not there.
I think the implementation is somehow very simple, because the projection knows what is the orientation of the headset, so faking this orientation would solve the problem. Question why is not there?
I can only think of some brain issues. I mean, in that situation the ground and the gravity would work in a way the brain is confused. This may create some issues like dizziness headaches or something worse. I am only guessing why the h* is not available. This is some of the most important features you can expect.

I suffer from neck pain which limits my vr experiences while standing so I would love to see this implimented as an option. I'm actually lying down with my headset on while typing this, so resetting the view for browsing and movies works great, but this trick does not rotate vr game worlds.

This feature would be so easy to implement, even code wise. I have a back injury that prevents me from standing/sitting for prolonged periods. I can only imagine how much of an incredible experience this would give to others that are disabled.

having oq2 for 3 days n since second day i miss ths option n googling "how to". very sad it doesnt work. walk the tokio, nyc, dubai 360 ,but see only sky n ceilings. please add tht option.

Wow, I never would have purchased if I knew ahead of time that the viewing screen could not be easily adjusted. I have chronic pain and need to lay in bed. My neck is killing bc I have to look down to watch apps.

May I suggest - since clearly we all want this.
But there are not enough of 'us' to push this.

We need to make this an Americans with Disabilities issue

#ADA4VR

Free people bedridden or alternatively abled to use VR.
It's a perfect match.

I agree that a play laying down option would be great.

please make shifting to 90 degrees possible

ye

It would be better if we could adjust the degree of rotation

After recent spinal surgery, it would be very useful to be able to orient the initial guardian setup panel like we can reorient the main control panel etc - or make it relative to the direction the headset is facing as opposed to a set location. I’ve been suffering from a spinal condition and am now post op and trying to care for my neck. It’s an inconvenience to not be able to do EVERYTHING from a laying position without having to move. If I put the headset on laying down. I have to sit up or crane my neck just to create a guardian, then I can reorient the control/ browser windows, but can’t reorient the aspect of most apps. Luckily Gravity Sketch can be used laying down. Please implement a reorient view function to accomodate people with mobility and pain issues - please please !!! Thankyou

Why is this not a thing? Can't work laying down all the keyboards are oriented for standing

Would be great for family members with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to stand or sit.

You can kind of do this already if you use the PC Link. Within Steam VR there's an app called "OVR advanced settings" - it allows to rotate the playspace temporarily (will reset the next time you launch Steam VR)

A true, PC independent, solution on the Q2 would be great.

PLS OCULUS ADD THIS

We should be able to rotate the world and it’s z axis at anytime with the oculus button. It’s kinda working with some app, but rotating the z axis in game is vital for that device to be useful otherwise than standing up!!

Why the **** isn't this a standard function. I don't want to hear "because it would be uncomfortable or disorienting". I'm sure you can get used to it.
This should require relatively little effort to implement, JUST DO IT ALREADY.

I find it difficult sitting and standing for long periods of time due to my disability and would love to play the quest for a length of time that doesn’t restrict me due laying down to play.
