Judder occurs during movie playback with VIVE focus

[ji_com]

Hi,

I am developing a Vive Focus app with Unity.
The app plays 360 degree videos and displays subtitles in space.
It uses AV Pro Video to play 4K video and Text Mesh Pro to display subtitles.

There is one problem, and if I move my head while watching the subtitles, a judder occurs.
The app runs at 75 fps.

I thought that using WVR Overlay would prevent the judder.
I tried it with things like "Interop_overlay.WVR_GenOverlay(ref_overlayId);" but I got a "DllNotFoundException:wvr_api" error and couldn't use it.

Is there any way to stop the judder?

 

This is my development environment.

・Unity 2018.4.14f1
・Wave SDK v3.1.4 Unity
・VIVE Focus ver. 2.04.1400.2

Thanks.

Hi @ji_com

If you're trying to keep subtitle fixed in front of the head, using overlay should be the correct approach.

At this moment Wave SDK does not formally support overlay in Unity plugin. The API only works in Android. You may refer to the sample Samples/Overlay_Test showing how to use native overlay API in an Unity project.

1) This sample is not a formal support of using overlay in Unity. It's for advanced developers.

2) This sample involves interaction between Game thread and Render thread. Multi-thread sync up should be taken care to avoid unexpected behavior.

3) You'll need Unity Low level native plugin knowledge: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/NativePluginInterface.html

4) See how to use Wave SDK overlay native API: https://hub.vive.com/storage/docs/en-us/Sdk_WvrOverlay.html

Hi, Cotta

Thank you for teaching me how to use overlay.
I'll try it.
