how to reset the view?

The method signature is

public static bool ResetOrientation(int sensor)

It is a static method and should be accessed in a static way. OVRDevice.ResetOrientation(0);

How can OVRDevice be accessed from JavaScript--with #prgama strict (no dynamic typing)?

Can it be done without moving the Oculus stuff into Standard Assets? (I want to avoid that for future-proofing/version upgrades, and just for sensible project organization.)

This fails for me with "'OVRDevice' does not denote a valid type":

private var OVRref : OVRDevice;

This fails the same way (with OVRController specified in the Inspector):

var VRController : GameObject;
private var OVRref : OVRDevice = VRController.GetComponent(OVRDevice);

(I've Googled some links that seem to talk about making Unity compile C# before JS, but the links point to a missing docs page.)

No you will need to move the OVR folder into the Standard Assets or Plugins folder. When you update to a new version of OVR integration, you will just need to move the folder again. It shouldn't cause too much pain.

Cool. So in that case, when I import a new OVR package, and then drag it (using Unity, not the Finder!) into Standard Assets where the redundant old version resides, will it replace every file and sub-file and maintain all connections within my project? Not make a mess and break things? (Normally I'd re-import a newly-updated package while the original files are still in their default location: outside Standard Assets.)

Exactly. You will just need to drag and drop again. It will replace the old files and replace the prefabs in your scene.

I wanted two reset view options in my game:
1) reset head to match body
2) rotate body to match head

The OVRDevice.ResetOrientation() works really well for #1.

I am using the UFPS Camera in my project. So, for #2, I went with this:
vp_FPSCamera.m_Yaw+=GameObject.Find("CameraLeft").transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.y;
OVRDevice.ResetOrientation(0);

Which works rather well. You look over somewhere besides forward, press a key and then forward is now the direction you were previously looking. Unfortunately, it does seem to render one frame of not what I want in the process. Not a deal breaker, but something I'd ditch if I knew how.

Can you exp[lain how you set these up? I would love to have both, I had reset set to R before using UFPS, but now it seems to be overridden. Thanks!

I have moved the OVR folder into the Standard Assets folder but I am still getting the problem described by AdamsImmersive:

Is there something else I could be missing?

I couldn't get the good'ol OVRDevice.ResetOrientation() to work at all with the latest 0.4.4 SDK.

After some digging around in the sdk, I found this:

OVRManager.display.RecenterPose();

Works for me. Hope it helps.

I think something didn't update properly when I first moved the OVR folder. It's working fine now with it in StandardAssets and using the OVRManager.display.RecenterPose(); command.
