GSoC 2019: Core Support of Virtual Reality Headsets through OpenXR

I’m testing the build now with a Windows Mixed Reality headset, but for some reason the scene appears out of scale (or it’s my feeling) and the appears rotated, Y as Z.

¿Any ideas on how can I solve the second problem? (I have to investigate the first problem, maybe it’s that big :slight_smile: )

Hi.

I am using Windows Mixed Reality headset on a Windows 10 machine. I have followed the instructions and I am getting the following error. Did anybody see this before?

We just checked via the Blender chat and it seems like there is an issue in the WinMR OpenXR installation - its testing app doesn’t run either.

First time that I have been able to test the build and work. Two things

  • I think that blender need a new “walk mode” only for VR because the original mode have problems when you are in VR
  • Allow the mouse in the VR view or select with a centered cursor.
  • Use ESC key to close VR mode
  • Improve bit depth in eevee mode because gradients are really bad.
