UE5.6 passthrough windows Ques
I'm trying to implement passthrough windows using the MetaXR plugin's passthrough feature in UE5.6. I achieved passthrough using https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unreal/unreal-projected-passthrough-tutorial/#1-create-a-solid-plane, but I'm having trouble implementing the same feature as https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unreal/unreal-customize-passthrough-passthrough-windows/. An actor is always obscuring the view, and replacing materials doesn't work. Are there any solutions or methods to resolve wall obstruction in passthrough implementations?😭
MetaXRInteraction missing Ray visuals for ISDKControllers, but ISDKHands working as intended.
I recently upgraded to the version 1.81.0 of MetaXRInteraction on the Oculus Unreal engine fork. Version 5.6.1 And the controller components don't have ray visuals when interacting with menus. The functionality works, I can click, and elements change when hovered, but it's hard to aim. What's weird, is that the ISDKHand components, do have proper ray visuals. (Expect for the right reticle not getting blue when pinching) I am not sure what is broken, or how to get this working. All parameters are defaults. And I only turn off/on the Ray and Grab components (for both ISDK Hands and ISDK Controllers) when the user selects a hand preference in settings using the Set Active function. Video demonstrating the issue. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GZB-dCXpaxryZP92I9jXAnZO34Lg9WHP/view?usp=sharing Thanks!
Meta Quest 3, Unreal 5.7: Need help with trying to get Opacity to work.
Hi, is there a way to get Opacity to work on Meta Quest 3? The simplest and most obvious way in UE5.7 obviously refuses to work on VR glasses but I was wondering if there was some work around on this? I tried to look everywhere for any glues how to get it to work but googling around hadn't yield any results. I'd be most grateful for any advice and help I can get.Unreal Engine 5.7 plugin or fork ETA?
Hi! As I'm compiling 5.6 I was thinking of just checking if there is any sort of timeline or ETA on a potential UE 5.7 fork and/or a 5.7 compatible plugin? It's probably a lot of work for Meta considering the improvements made in 5.7, but the nice features the 5.6 fork has would be really awesome to have in 5.7 as a sort of "new baseline", best of both worlds kind of deal. I'm starting on a rather large project soon and I'm afraid that I'll be stuck on 5.6 if migration doesn't play nice, and by the looks of it 5.7 seems really promising performance wise as well but I'd love to have some of the features from the plugin to go with it. Alternatively, if you have already started with 5.7 and have some indicators of whether or not migration is looking doable then I'd love to know. Best regards Morten
Accessibility Feature Request: Conversation Focus Mode for Ray-Ban Meta Display Glasses
Hi everyone! I’m a Ray-Ban Meta display glasses user who is hard of hearing and wears hearing aids daily. I’d love to see a conversation focus mode added that prioritizes voices directly in front of the wearer and reduces background noise. In busy environments, this would make a big difference for hearing-aid users and others who rely on clearer speech in real time. If this type of accessibility feature is ever developed, I would absolutely love the ability to have it added to my glasses and would be happy to provide feedback or participate in any beta or user-testing opportunities. I’ve also submitted this through support channels, but wanted to share here in case the team is gathering feedback.Passthrough randomly disables during runtime
UE 5.5.4. Meta XR plugin v78. I have an apk that I sideload onto several headsets. The app works fine while connected to my laptop for development. Never an issue. The packaged apk works fine on the headsets during testing. Seems solid. But then I'll launch the app and hand out 10+ headsets to the customers, and they walk around for a while, eventually some of the headsets lose passthrough. The app is still running and tracking. You can see the virtual objects, but they are on the field of black. You can't see and of the surroundings. Double-tapping the side of the headset simply pauses the app and takes me to the menu. I can't get passthrough working again once this happens. I added blueprint code that every 10 seconds checks if the passthrough object is null and, if so, initialize another passthrough, but that didn't help. I've fired up 10 headsets let them run and walked around the room holding several of them, grabbing them all over the headsets (in case the customers are pressing some button), but I can't get the passthrough to stop working. Hence why I don't have a log file to attach. I'm at a loss what could be happening and how to recreate the issue. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
