Access to the proximity sensor state?

[Peter Thor]

Hi,
is it possible to access the proximity sensor state of the Focus 3 (PC VR with VBS)?
 

I do not seem to be able to use the path "/user/head/proximity" with a Focus 3.

For e.g. the Vive / Vive Pro we are able to detect the proximity sensor state via the "/user/head/proximity" path in the sources block in the bindings file for the "vive_pro" controller. This does not seem to work with the bindings file for the "vive_cosmos" controller.

The SteamVR input debugger is constantly showing TRUE for the "HMD Proximity Sensor.

The attached video is showing how it works with the Vive Pro headset. The attached picture shows how I've configured the vive_cosmos controller action and binding files.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, it is not supported.

Thanks for the reply.

Thats a real shame. I really hope future headsets have the ability to send the state further in the software layer.

Is it possible to access HMD worn status of the Focus 3 in standalone app made with UE5?

GetHMDWornState() is not working. It always send "worn" status.

Hi @ScreamingBeaver,

Standalone app?

May I know your project is developing using WaveXR or OpenXR?

Which plugin version did you install?

Yeah, application is running on headset, not on PC

Project is in research state, I use ViveOpenXR for now. The version is 2.4.0, UE 5.4.4

But I can switch to WaveXR fast, if necessary

I was told that Wave is supported but not OpenXR.

If you can switch to WaveXR fast, do you mind to give it a try?

Yes, it works in WaveSDk

However, I noticed WaveSDK use OpenGL. But I need Vulkan for 8k 360 video playback

 I tried to move logic from WaveSDK to ViveOpenXR. App packaged well, but I cant run it after installation 😞

Is it even possible to do it?

Hi @ScreamingBeaver,

For ViveOpenXR, it required Unreal to support it too.

It is not just plugin side effort.
