How to know when the Health and Safety Warning is acknowledged by user (Oculus SDK v1.3)?

Thankfully the health and safety warning has its own screen now instead of being displayed over the program as it was before!

You can use the ovrSessionStatus to detect when your program becomes visible.

Call ovr_GetSessionStatus to get the status and look at the IsVisible member.

Something annoying in the new system, to limit conflict between the rift presentation interval and the monitor display, it is recommended to not sync to the vblank for the monitor swapchain, but ovr_submitFrame does not block as long as the health and useless safety message is on. It is a wast of resource to let a game run at 500fps a frame while the message is on…

Interesting, I'll add that one to my notes!

Thanks for the replies.

ovr_GetSessionStatus() returns a ovrSessionStatus structure that has IsVisible set to true, even when the HSW is being displayed.

I've found a hack solution by monitoring the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Oculus\Service_*.txt  file, looking for the line when the HSV is acknowledged.

It would be ideal if there was an official callback or something to let the app. know that the HSV has been acknowledged (and a corresponding function to know if it's being displayed).

Thanks for the info.  Sorry about my false information.  I had assumed that IsVisible would be false when your program is not visible!  So (1) this seems to be a bug and (2) there should be a way to know that the HSW is still visible.
