How should I go about this part of my project?
So I've had long sessions within my VR headset, I'm sure most of us have. When I'm in these long sessions, I don't like taking off my headset and putting it back on to do many things. So far I could do pretty much everything I needed to except use the bathroom and read phone notifications. I can't really change the bathroom situation but I'm pretty sure I can fix the phone problem. So I made 2 c# applications, one for my phone and one for the PC, and got my phone to send notifications to my PC in real time. Heck if I really wanted to I could probably respond to messages. That's all fine and dandy but this leaves me sort of stuck. I was curious if it was possible to run a background app within the Oculus software that can send in notifications, sort of like when you get trophies? I don't want to result to just making it a windows form that uses the Oculus desktop, that's still sort of glitchy for me to the point where using the pullout can sometimes completely crash my headset. I'm well aware of the work ahead of me, the app isn't polished yet but this is for personal use and even just having a desktop version for nonVR use is already amazing. Any knowledge is appreciated very much.584Views0likes0CommentsPossible to create a background app that shows notifications (like low-battery/wifi-status notifs)?
A pain point of using the Quest (or any VR, I suppose) with headphones is that you don't hear your wife's texts about going to the aquarium in 10 minutes, and you miss out on real life (i.e. non-VR) stuff. I am an iPhone user and Swift engineer across all of Apple's platforms. As such, I wrote a simple (and very unofficial) iOS app that is capable of forwarding incoming iOS notifications. I would love to be able to create a background service app on the Quest that is capable of popping a notification regardless of which app I am in (hence the reference to the Low Battery & Wifi Connection Lost system-level notifications), and connecting my iOS notifications service to it. This would allow me to, for instance, play Beat Saber and momentarily see incoming text messages so I can decide whether or not I should press pause and respond.1.3KViews7likes0CommentsTracking pose in background
Hi, Using the SDK on PC, is it possible to get tracking pose while other VR app is running? From my experiment I was not able to initiate a session while other VR app was running. I am not looking to render anything, just to get pose information. I am able to do that using OpenVR but looking to achieve this via Oculus SDK. Any ideas? Thanks, Roy K.472Views0likes0CommentsFailed to pause when remove HMD.
Hi, maybe someone can help me, my app was rejected because it fails to pause when the user remove the headset. I already uncheck "Run in Background". I need to add code to OVR Manager? Using Unity 2018.3 with native Oculus Sdk and the lastest Oculus Integration Pack for Unity. Thanks.490Views0likes0Comments
