[Unity] OVR Avatar shows wrong controllers on quest 2

Hi,

I'm trying to show the users controllers with ovr avatar in unity.

On quest 2 it shows the original rift controllers.

Is this normal / is there a way to fix this ? I've already tried to regenerate the manifest file.

It works fine on other devices (quest / rift s / rift)

Adding Quest 2 controller support will depend on how you have implemented controllers in your app.

If you are using OVRControllerPrefab from the Oculus SDK then it should "just work". They have already updated this script (OVRControllerHelper) and prefab to support the Quest 2 controllers. The actual controller models, animations, and materials can be found in:

Oculus/VR/Meshes/OculusTouchForQuest2/*

If you are using the Oculus Avatar system and the Local Avatar prefab for controller support (which is necessary to see your hands on the controllers), unfortunately this is not yet supported by the Oculus Avatar SDK. I suggest you implement a short-term work around to show the Quest 1 controllers on Quest 2 rather than the Rift CV1 controllers:

Below OvrAvatarDriver.cs:77 (in OvrAvatarDriver.Start()) add

case OVRPlugin.SystemHeadset.Oculus_Quest_2

Oculus needs to update the Avatar SDK in order to support Quest 2 controller rendering with hands because the Avatar SDK's C API is responsible for setting the controller model. I downloaded the headers for the C API of the Avatar SDK and confirmed that no enum value exists for the Quest 2. See:

// Oculus Unity integration
OvrAvatarDriver.UpdateTransformsFromPose(IntPtr sdkAvatar)

// Oculus Avatars SDK C-API
/// Controller Types
///
typedef enum ovrAvatarControllerType_ {
  ovrAvatarControllerType_Touch,
  ovrAvatarControllerType_Malibu,
  ovrAvatarControllerType_Go,
  ovrAvatarControllerType_Quest,

  ovrAvatarControllerType_Count,
} ovrAvatarControllerType;

Any attempt to work around this limitation would likely get really hairy and I don't recommend it. Oculus is building a new avatar system for Horizon which will eventually roll out to the rest of us. It's possible that they haven't noticed this support is missing because they're using the new SDK internally?

ny update from Oculus on this? Would be great to get Quest controllers in the Avatar system...

I just tried it and did not work for me (no controllers rendered in game)
