Question

Adjusting the Chroma Key for Pass-Thru

Hello,

Not sure if this is already covered but I want to create a pass-thru window when using X-Plane 12 Flight Simulator with the Quest 3 S. I've created a pink shape that is the shape of my window and can project it onto my virtual environment but it is still pink and I want it to be a pass-thru window so I can see my controls in the real world. YouTube videos have lead me to an understanding that this idea is a strong possibility but pink isn't really what I want to see.

I'm projecting my 'shape' using OpenKneeboard and its shape, size and position are perfect for what I want. I understand that I now need to manipulate the chromakey of my Quest 3 S to allow me to see through my shape. I'm connected to the pc by a cable in order to overcome x-plane jitters and need to keep the cable connected whilst flying.

Can anyone enlighten me how I can achieve the window to replace the pink shape please?

Thanks very much

Judging by the abundance of replies it appears I’m the only one with this requirement.

The Quest 3S itself has no chromakey support.

From what I see people doing the chromakey with Openkneeboard are using Virtual Desktop to connect to the PC. About a year ago Virtual Desktop added chromakey support.

So you'll need to buy Virtual Desktop to get this working. Also Virtual Desktop doesn't support Link cable, it only works with wifi. But it's a much better experience than the official Airlink. (Playing No Man Sky with my Quest 3 on wifi, Airlink was near unplayable, Virtual Desktop ran fine)

Ok Kojack, thanks for that. I’ll try Airlink again with Virtual Desktop to see if XP12 can handle it.
