Text-Insertion Pointer is disappearing in Meta Quest Link on Win11
Hi, I'm using Meta Quest Link to dev in Unity and recently (the past couple weeks/month or so?) the mouse cursor has been disappearing whenever it would change into an 'I' caret insertion pointer. So for instance in the entire sub-window in Visual Studio where my code is I can't see the mouse cursor at all. The cursor is still there on the real desktop screen, it just doesn't show up on the reprojection of my desktop. Also even this text field that I'm typing in right now makes the mouse cursor disappear when I hover over it. As you can imagine it makes precise mouse operations difficult. I've tried modifying the Windows mouse Pointer types but it doesn't look like the different pointer types are supported by Meta Quest Link as they show up as garbled bitmaps. Link is trying to display them and is almost there but perhaps the bitmap width that Windows is sending is different than Link is expecting so the recreation of the mouse pointer is garbled. Anyway, the main issue is that the text-insertion pointer is disappearing in text fields. Thanks for any help! Best, Thalleren
Dumping QWERTY and porting an alternative text entry system to Oculus
It seems that we are about to continue using QWERTY for text input, even though we are entering a completely new technological era with VR/XR/Oculus/Metaverse. Puleeeeeze! Let's NOT! About two centuries ago, QWERTY was purposefully designed to slow down typing! It's time to put it to rest. There are much, much more efficient alternatives for a single finger/hand full text entry, more suitable for VR/AR. Our imminent technological transformation begs for a commensurate technological innovation. My question is, given that a non-qwerty input tool is implemented and available for Android, what's the easiest way to port it from Android Studio to Oculus?
