Locomoção em realidade virtual 🇧🇷
Olá, Meu nome é Thiago Brendon, sou brasileiro e gostaria de compartilhar uma ideia relacionada à locomoção em ambientes de realidade virtual. Antes de tudo, não sou engenheiro nem especialista na área. Sou apenas um usuário apaixonado por tecnologia e jogos que gosta de imaginar novas formas de interação. Uma das dificuldades que observo na realidade virtual é a necessidade de controles ou equipamentos adicionais para movimentação. Em muitos países, incluindo o Brasil, acessórios avançados de locomoção podem ser caros e inacessíveis para grande parte dos usuários. Pensando nisso, tive uma ideia que pode parecer incomum à primeira vista: utilizar a língua como método complementar de controle. A proposta seria desenvolver um pequeno sensor ou touchpad posicionado no céu da boca, capaz de detectar movimentos da língua para frente, para trás e para os lados. Dessa forma, o usuário poderia controlar a movimentação do personagem sem ocupar as mãos e sem depender de equipamentos grandes ou caros. Acredito que a língua possui características interessantes para esse tipo de interação: Alta precisão de movimento; Resposta rápida; Não interfere diretamente nos movimentos da cabeça; Permite que as mãos permaneçam livres para outras ações; Poderia reduzir a necessidade de dispositivos externos de locomoção. Imagino que a combinação entre rastreamento do olhar, movimentos da cabeça e comandos simples realizados pela língua poderia criar uma experiência bastante imersiva e acessível. Não sei se essa ideia é tecnicamente viável ou se já existe alguma pesquisa semelhante em andamento. Meu objetivo é apenas compartilhar uma sugestão que considero criativa e que talvez possa inspirar futuras formas de interação em realidade virtual, quero que seja mais acessível para mim já que não tenho condições de ter um acho que assim fica mais barato. Obrigado pelo tempo e pela atenção. Atenciosamente, Email:*** Thiago*** [edited for privacy - this is a public forum]
We need to talk about the Meta Quest Software.
Hello, my name is Mateus Camargo, I'm a developer from Brazil, and I recently got a Meta Quest 3S. While the hardware itself is impressive, the software experience has some severe flaws. I’d like to highlight three major issues that aren't just bothering me, but a significant portion of the community as well. 1. System Performance and Fluidity The Horizon OS feels noticeably unoptimized. Simple tasks lack fluidity, and occasional stutters break the immersion entirely. Paradoxically, each system update seems to degrade performance instead of improving it. The OS needs a deep optimization pass to become lighter, more responsive, and efficient. 2. Lack of Environment Variety (The Horizon Home) The Horizon Home experience has become incredibly monotonous. We used to have access to a wider variety of environments. While the new default environment (Valley) looks beautiful, the current lack of options feels like a step backward. Stripping away diversity ruins the personal connection users have with their virtual space. 3. Missing Basic Productivity Tools It is frustrating that a powerful standalone headset lacks fundamental tools like a native Calculator, Stopwatch, or Notepad. While competing devices include these by default, Quest users are forced to rely on unofficial workarounds or heavy browser tabs just to take a quick note. Implementing basic, lightweight native productivity apps should be a priority. I hope the software team takes this feedback into consideration. The hardware is great, but the software needs to match its potential.One Touch Pro Controller Won't Charge
My left Touch Pro controller wont charge, I try to clean the contact patches but nothing changes, I try multiple different outlets but nothing changed, multiple different blocks even though you shouldn't and still its broken, just displays a red dot forever and no haptic confirmation either. No drops or water contact or anything of the such in the past before it happened, it had just been sitting nice and neat in its case. Of course im hesitant to open up my $300 controller that was clearly never designed to be opened, im hoping I dont have to send it to meta and pay more money, what can be done or am i out of luck?
Parental Supervision Issues
So my son bought a Meta Quest 3 last year. He’s 13 and all was well until I realised I needed to supervise the account as there are a lot of apps and games available that put simply, just aren't appropriate for the mind of a 13 year old. This was all good and I was able to approve, block etc things I didnt think were right, after speaking with him as to my reasons why. Fast forward to today and I get a message on my Meta App saying that now he is 18 I no longer supervise him! Confusing as he’s very much still a 13 year old. Now either there’s been a glitch in the system or more likely, he’s changed his DOB to - as it turns out - 1989. I cannot change it back as he no longer appears in my app as a supervised person, and when you try via his app, it asks you for proof of age. We uploaded his passport and apparently now have to wait 48 hours. Not quite sure what happens next. There is no human help desk for Meta Quest. Any chat room I’ve tried sends me into an infinite look of AI directed FAQs and all I really want to do is speak to somebody and get this sorted out easily. If anybody from Meta Quest is reading this, I’d love some help, but my guess is they’re not and I’m left trying to protect the online safety of my son with random passport uploads and a hopeful attitude.The new quest ui is terrible
so the new ui just came out for meta quest and its the most annoying overly complicated ui i have ever had the displeasure of dealing with anyone know any way to reverse it or suggest they change it back or at least give us the option to choose berween the old and new one its extremly annoying i know along of people feel the same way i have to slide thru like 9 tabs to locate an app i used to be able to see on one easy to slide screen and trying to open the call im on is like a 25 step process vs just clicking on one button on my quick menu please reverse this or give us the option to choose between the 2 or customize it
Not Getting My Replacement
I order a replacement controller on warranty over a month ago and did advanced replacement. It says should be delivered by April 28th still when I check it and the email support hasn't been much help! I just need my controller because I do this daily. I also ask for any more information they can give but they say they will and tell me nothing. I just wanna use my vr.
