Using the Quest 3 passthrough for Augmented Reality on architectural project
Hi, we’re on the verge of buying a Quest 3 for a specific solution to a VR/AR need. We’ve designed and completed a physical two-storey hotel suite, but the spiral staircase connecting the two floors has been delayed. We have a fully modelled and textured 3d model of the staircase and was hoping to use the passthrough element of the Quest 3 to drop the staircase in position in the existing hotel room and allow potential customers the opportunity to see it while wearing the new Quest. Problem is there’s little to no support on where to even begin with this so can anyone advise on where to begin? Is it possible? Many thanks
WebXR problem: Oculus Quest 2, device detects VR project as AR project
I am using WebXR to develop a VR experience that allows the user to walk into a room and interact with it. However, the glasses detect the application as if it were augmented reality and therefore, The Oculus Quest 2 changes to AR mode in the process, making the application unusable. The project is being developed in Unity 2021.3.2 and using the Simple-WebXR package for Web deployment, along with the Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK). It has to be an Oculus Quest 2 problem, because it also affects similar projects I developed with WebXR, older projects worked correctly, and they break too. I experimented this problem in all of them. I will show you images of how the application it should look like in VR and another one that shows the AR mode error. My Oculus Quest 2 Version is: 47421700667400000 Is there a mode switch for VR/AR that I'm missing? Is it related to the most recent update or the version of the oculus quest 2 that I have? I need urgent help with this. How it should look like on VR AR mode detected (Error)
Accessing Video-Passthrough
Are there any plans on letting Devs access the Quest's Video-Passthrough capabilities via SDK? I'd love to mess around with AR / MR Applications. I know that this is possible on the Vive Pro utilizing the SRWorks SDK but that requires to be wired. Having the same functionality but wireless would be a huge gamechanger for me.
User Setting: Enable / Disable Passthrough Camera For Apps
I think the decision to allow or disallow access to the tracking cameras should be a user decision. Therefore in the settings I would like to see options to enable or disable application access to the tracking cameras and the guardian system point cloud. This may require new application permission such as "Allow This Application Access to Tracking Cameras" and of course: API access to said capabilities. This would be no less of a security risk than allowing the device to access my microphone, my videos folder, my photos or my general FB account information and adding these features would enable mixed reality applications.
