I would like to be able to take my 85 year old friend Bob on a guided experience in the Quest. One where his hand controls are disabled and we are in the same VR location. Bob would be able to look around and get the full VR experience, but he could not move his location or interact with the system. I have written up a longer description of this request here:

I think you could have a tremendous impact on the lives of older adults with this feature. (You could also sell Quest headsets in batches of 10 with this feature, so good for you too.) If you had this feature I imagine people being brought to tears over it. Remember that woman in the recent Apple launch who described how the Apple Watch saved her baby's life? You would have similar video from older adults who have been released from the confines of their current life.

Hi,

There currently is a problem with the way Guardian handles proximity when both the controllers and the Headset are in close proximity of the boundary.

Currently:
When the Headset is close to the boundary, the fading-in degree of the guardian boundary is Exclusively related to how close the Heaset is to the boundary.

What does that mean?
If the headset is not close to the border, then guardian works fine. When controllers approach the boundary shows. As expected.

But when the headset is making the guardian appear, the fading degree will NOT be affected by how close the controllers are to the border. So let's just say the Headset makes the guardian appear juuuuust a little bit (fading in 10%), then no matter how close the controllers get to the boundary, EVEN if they are outside . . . . the guarding won't fade more, it'll always remain at 10%

How to fix?
Well, on the top of my head, one solution => Instead using the Headset proximity as sole indicator whenever the Headset enters the proximity zone, we could:
- Create an urgency metric that would be a sort of average of the 2 proximity metrics from headset and controllers. Ofc, it doesn't have to be average, optimizing the merging function could be an interesting problem in itself. But as a POC, I'm confident it'd work.

I hope that helped.

Best,

Oculus recently posted an OBS Plugin and Android app that will sync a real camera position with the game scene, and then the Quest creates a 3rd camera. It sends 2 layers of visual information to the OBS plugin, being in front of & behind the player, which OBS then composits with the real player on a green screen, to make it look like the player is in the world.

As a developer, I'd like the ability to use a similar system to send that 3rd camera to the PC as a normal scene view - no OBS or real camera required. This will allow my users to broadcast games from a spectator view, which is much better than first-person view. It can be used by users who don't have a greenscreen or want to show their real bodies.
