[explicit Category specifier error when packaging in Unreal 4.27 for Focus 3]

Hi @dgmn,

According to this path, we think you put WaveVR under the Engine side such as D:/Epic Games/UE_4.27/Engine/Plugins/.       

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)):   D:/Epic Games/UE_4.27/Engine/Plugins/WaveVR/Source/WaveVRInput/Classes/WaveVRPawnMotionController.h(41) : LogCompile: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for any property exposed to the editor or Blueprints in an Engine module.

        Please follow the steps: https://hub.vive.com/storage/docs/en-us/UnrealPlugin/UnrealPluginGettingStart.html#prepare-your-development-environment

And put WaveVR plugin under <MY_PROJECT/Plugins/> such as <MY_PROJECT/Plugins/WaveVR>

[Packages in Unity Registry]

Hi @THubbard,

If you don't have preference to develop based on OpenXR, I'd suggest you to start from VIVE Wave XR.

https://hub.vive.com/storage/docs/en-us/UnityXR/UnityXRGettingStart.html

For the rest from UPM, which are mainly for OpenXR (PCVR or MobileVR) but as you know many of OpenXR features are still under spec. review, discussion or development stage so it depends on your target.

Hope this clarification is helpful for you.

Thanks.

[Direct Preview still not working]

Hi @vethetheth,

Sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for keeping feedbacks about the Direct Preview function.

In past periods we remotely worked with some developers to clarify their environments or setup steps, and indeed observed there were some missed points or steps may cause the failure case. 

So we try to record a video tutorial and rephrase our online document to make it more clearly, and we should share out quite soon.

Before that, we'd like to support your case via remote debugging.

Please PM me and we can setup if it's okay for you.

[Saving files generated from APP onto SD card - Vive Focus 3]

Hi @Virtual Resolution,

Wave SDK doesn't provide or manage this kind of path for Application.

Basically the APP should call from Standard Android API to access storage and also do related claim inside Android Manifest file for permission. 

This is the direction we could suggest, and maybe you could refer some examples from photo capture app.

Thanks.

[SRanipal Eye tracking Install issue]

So there are two runtimes installed in PC.

In theory, after the new runtime is installed along with VIVE SW, the SRAnipal environment will be change to the it.

 

Some trouble shooting suggestions:

1.       Close all SRAnipal runtime, from start-menu click VIVE SRAnipal (NEW one) instead of SRanipal Runtime.

This will start the new runtime.  Start an SRAnipal App to see if the SRAnipal robot eye is green.

2.       If the new runtime still not work, use the SRAnipal robot to pack log and send back to us.

Thanks.

[Unreal Engine 4.26 - WaveVR Plugin Issues]

Hi @Luky,

From your environment info., it's really outdated version either ROM code or SDK version.

Currently the generic ROM version is 3.0.999.456, and Wave SDK is 4.5.0.

Please upgrade your device first, and PM us the S/N if you can't receive the upgrade successfully since I observed yours was in 2.0.xxx which may be quite early DK version.

I think most of your issues may not exist after upgrading, and we can clarify the new issues based on the latest version.

Thanks.

Note: Please visit a dedicated Wave SDK Forum to discuss the content development experience.

[[UPDATE][Wave 4.5.0] Demonstration on how to use WAVE Passthrough Underlay/Overlay APIs]

Hello @hyunaseo,

There is no Unreal Blueprint function ready to connect passthrough underlay API.

Internally it's workable to call native API directly, and please refer below API.

https://hub.vive.com/storage/docs/en-us/WVR_ShowPassthroughUnderlay.html

Thanks.

[[UPDATE][Wave 4.5.0] Demonstration on how to use WAVE Passthrough Underlay/Overlay APIs]

Please check it out we have some updates on Wave 4.5.0 Passthrough Overlay.

[Packaging from Unreal Engine 4.27 to Focus 3 OpenXR]

[How to stream a Three.js app from PC to Focus 3? SteamVR Home keep booting up instead!]

Sounds like your Firefox doesn’t correctly connect to SteamVR.
Not sure if you do not grant this web site the right to access to VR device in Firefox.

Just try with Chrome and three.js VR sample. It works to Focus 3 via VBS + SteamVR.

Thanks.

[[UPDATE][Wave 4.5.0] Demonstration on how to use WAVE Passthrough Underlay/Overlay APIs]

Hi @michela,

Yes, these APIs are supported on Focus 3 from Wave 4.x series.

Let us know if you need further detail info.

Thanks.

 

[[UPDATE][Wave 4.5.0] Demonstration on how to use WAVE Passthrough Underlay/Overlay APIs]

There’re many inquires on how to use Passthrough image or access raw camera images to create a Mixed Reality experience or MR effects.
Due to privacy policy, we do not offer ways to access the raw camera images, but here’re some examples on how to use our existing WAVE Passthrough Underlay/Overlay APIs.
The following message will show you the difference between the Passthrough Underlay and Overlay, you may choose which one is best suited for your content design.

Passthrough Underlay

By calling "WVR _ ShowPassthroughUnderlay" API, you can show the Passthrough images underneath the original rendering content.

Here are some examples that use Passthrough Underlay, such as VIVE Room Setup, VR boundaries, and 3D Objects.

Passthrough Overlay

By calling "WVR _ ShowPassthroughOverlay", the Passthrough image will be showing on top of everything in the scene.

[UPDATE] From Wave 4.5.0, it's allowed to set passthrough overlay alpha value.
