Clear definition of launching "Mixed Reality Capture"

[Anonymous]

There's a lot of frustrated posts out there with people attempting Mixed Reality experience with Oculus home software. LiV doesn't seem to be compatible with anything but steam. Mixcast seems eerily similar despite their "sdk integration", Vcam just wants your money. I'm not saying these options -can't- work. They just didn't.

The how-tos here at Oculus were only partially helpful. Specifically:
"First, if you have not done so already, run the CameraTool to calibrate the camera or load a configuration file. This process needs to be repeated each time you launch Oculus to use a mixed reality capture compatible app. Information about this process can be found on the Camera Calibration page."

No problem. Pain in the ass, but the touch controllers lined up.

Time to get vague:
"Next, launch the app in mixed reality capture mode." - Ok sweet. Which game, and how?
" How you launch mixed reality capture mode will vary depending on how the mode has been implemented in the app. Please refer to the app's instructions for information about launching in mixed reality capture mode."
Er, wha?
I looked into Dead and Buried as an example, and it does have readmes and instructions with launch parameters, cfg files and everything. However. It just didn't work. Creating a shortcut with "-enablemixedreality" and other launch parameters seemed to have an effect, but not a virtual camera effect. I followed those readmes to the letter. Which is probably outdated info anyway.

There's a mod out there for Beatsaber called Camplus. It's just a virtual camera that you can line up with your green screen feed (just F'n eyeball it) and it works.

So what's missing? Where's the "enable virtual camera" feature? Where is there -any- feedback on the capture, not the setup. Do I just start buying "professional" software on the gambled premise that it -might- work? Do we have to develop a mod for each specific game just to integrate an additional third person perspective?

I know I'm not alone in this frustration. I've already made a sweet beatsaber vid, just the tip of the 'berg. Maybe I can answer some setup questions as well.
