3DOF controller to enabling 6DOF Using Focus Camera

[ZealousAppex]

I'm confused, I've read that the new update supports camera tracking of the 3DOF controller to enabling 6DOF. Is this true and how can I activate and run it in Unity?

Hi ,

 

Could you share the source of detail new update you mentioned?

Do you mean System Update we released recently?

Or any news that you heard from this CES 2019?

Thanks.

A few places but here is one: "HTC released the first major software overhaul for the Vive Focus standalone VR headset. The new update includes several new features, such as smartphone integration, 6-DoF (degrees of freedom) controller support, and improved expandable storage support."

I guess that 6dof controller update was possibly support for upcoming controllers (rather than utilising the 3dof controller with camera to emulate 6dof).  Looking forward to the 3dof-6dof update if/when it comes out
