Home environments

How do I get rid of the avatar and the hands.

 

I'm trying to work (remote desktop), and I constantly get these avatar hands obstructing my view, reaching for the controllers that I placed out of the way. 

Can you guys just make simple stuff that works rather than lots of gimmicks? Maybe an adult mode that has all the stuff made for 5-year-olds automatically turned off? 

 

When I go into settings to change the environment it moves just for opening the settings. Not even changing anything.  Then I have to reset them. Why? Why can't you just do normal things in settings without massive disruptions? I have to go get my left controller because just changing things isn't actually available in settings. Why? what sense does that make?

 

Zuck made a "that's not special the quest can do that too" video after the vision pro was released. Just do the basic practical things that are possible with the current hardware. Surely resources on the headset can be saved by having the option to turn off this extra garbage and streamlining for the stuff that's useful. 

 

I'm really on the edge of ordering a Galaxy XR and moving up to dealing with their problems.

    No, because this is a community troubleshooting forum, not a direct line to Meta engineers. Reading constant complaints just makes our eyes bleed and not want to help. The problem is on your end, btw, so quit outsourcing responsibility.

    Get the Galaxy XR. This is a community that tries to offer help with issues we have control over. We are not developers or for that matter, your mummy carrying boxes of tissues to give you something to cry into. Contact the development team and give them your suggestion like an adult. No point in ranting here to us. As steve_40​ says, we are not a complaints department. We are not "you guys". We don't work for Meta. We don't get paid by Meta. We volunteer help to those who need it. We don't console whingers.
