How do I re-center to Oculus stored forward direction?


Hi,

Oculus Home always seem to orient its room correctly according to the forward direction defined during setup.

But in Unreal 'forward' always gets set to the direction the HMD is facing as the app/game starts.

How can I get the setup forward direction instead?
Ie I don't want to just reset ori+pos, I want to set to the same forward Oculus Home is using.

Cheers
Fred

    Anyone here from Oculus that would know how to do this?
    How Oculus home manages to always start with 'forward' in the same direction?

    That sounds great!  We're still at 4.17 while we are working on a certain part but will need to update UE version later on when that section is ready.
    I'll make a 4.18 test project then and check it out!

    UPDATE:  I just installed UE4.18 to try in a fresh project and Yes it does seem to work! :) That's great as it would have been a bit of work trying to do that on my own covering a range of sensor arrangements.

    Thanks a lot
    Cheers, Fred
