Question about Meta UI and returning to app
Hello, I am reaching out on behalf of one of our clients, who has reported the following: While running our application, their users may occasionally press the Meta button, which invokes the Meta UI and temporarily makes it so they cannot interact with our application until the Meta UI is closed out of. This part makes perfect sense. However, the issue is that they have reported difficulty in closing out the Meta UI and returning back to our application. Normally, users can either press the Meta button again (or press the 'Resume' button while the Meta UI is overlayed) to return back to the application. In our client's case, they state that they have to press the Meta button / press the 'Resume' button multiple times before the Meta UI finally responds to the action and closes out, returning to the application. In their troubleshooting, they could not find any consistent pattern that would indicate a condition that triggers this. For instance: They are using Quest 3 headsets Some of them are on Shared Mode or Kiosk Mode, while others are not Some of them are on an MDM solution while others are not The controllers do not have any noticeable debris on them and are regularly cleaned with approved electronic sanitization products (i.e. low moisture wipes and set to dry in a UV cart, not using any sprays) The controller batteries are also regularly charged before any session of our application is run Tracking frequency on controllers is set to 'auto' *Especially for the 2nd and 3rd point listed above about Shared/Kiosk Mode and MDM solution - it does not matter whether these headsets have these enabled. The issue occurs on headsets that have these enabled as well as those in which these are not applicable. Can you kindly please suggest additional troubleshooting suggestions that our client can try, as this issue is significantly impacting their use of the application? Thank you, and please let me know if there are additional details I can share.
How to manage ray interactions on multiple Unity Canvases on top of each other?
Hi, How do I manage disabling and enabling multiple world space canvases so the Ray interactions work properly, when the canvases are placed in front of each other? The UI canvases are default Unity world space canvases with ray interactions added with the quick actions described in this article: Add an Interaction with QuickActions | Oculus Developers The problem is that I have two worldspace canvases with ray interactions placed in front of each other, kinda like in layers. When I disable the canvas gameobject in front, the interactor cursor hits the disabled (invisible canvas) and does not properly pass through to hit the second canvas (which it should do). How can I ensure the cursor interacts with the first active/visible canvas and does not get captured by disabled ones?
Gaze/Head Tracking Combined w/ Limited Hand Tracking or Gamepad Controller (Ex. Apple Vision Pro UI)
This implementation could drastically increase the ease of use of the Quest 3 UI, and bring it much closer to the usability of the Apple Vision Pro UI for a fraction of the cost, while still allowing the flexibility of trackable controllers, conventional hand tracking, and the use of gamepad controllers or other Bluetooth devices such as keyboards or mouses. This post is directed to other developers who may have ideas to suggest as a solution, or may be interested in incorporating some of these ideas into their projects.

(XBox One Controller) "I love the gaze cursor feature when using a controller. Lets me quickly take actions when I don’t want to use the Quest controllers. One thing bugs me though. I’m unable to drag using the gaze cursor. If I hold the A button on an Xbox controller it will rapidly select an item instead of select and hold on to it. Are there any tricks around this?" This is directly copied from a reddit post by Independent_Fill_570 a month ago and it hasn't received any responses yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/MetaQuestVR/comments/1byjora/is_it_possible_to_resize_windows_with_a_contro... I'm having the same issue. I love the ability to use the gaze tracking for the cursor, but it restricts the ability to resize windows, reposition windows, long click (as it only repeatedly single clicks rapidly instead), so selecting text longer than a single word is also an issue. The gaze control seems to be the best substitute to the Apple Vision Pro's eye tracking cursor. Is there any way of using the gaze control to guide the cursor, but a hand tracking gesture to select or click, without it engaging as conventional hand tracking while gaze tracking is enabled? I've spent many hours now searching the internet, looking into potential sideloading options, and even pouring over the Oculus PC source code, but haven't really found anyone talking about this except for the one unanswered reddit post I've linked to. The XBox One controller has basically the same buttons available as the Quest 3 controllers do, minus the tracking, but with the gaze tracking it would be wonderful to have the controller buttons mapped properly and I can't seem to find a way to remap the gamepad keybinds without it being run through Steam and a PC link. I'd like to be able to do this natively on the Quest 3 standalone. Hand tracking only for the selecting or clicking would also be great, but even just the buttons being mapped properly so that pressing A clicks, and holding A holds the click until released would fix the issue. I am aware that pressing the select and menu buttons together toggles the gaze tracking off, and enables very limited use of the Xbox controller buttons for use in a keyboard or such, but that's not what I'm asking about here. Thanks in advance to anyone who has any helpful information to provide on this issue. If gaze tracking were combined with limited hand tracking gestures like making a closed fist, I feel like the quality of this product could more easily rival the user interface of the Apple Vision Pro.
