Remember me yapping about S6? Good times. It's been dead with bloated battery and cracked screen on a shelf for 2 years.

Getting S6 for collection is not worth it. Even for Innovator Edition S6 GearVR. It overheats as a slut, dies within an hour of non-VR activities. And any VR related activity would be cut short by phone throttling in about 15 minutes, dropping framerates to what it feels at Max 30fps, and phone would disable chromatic aberration correction.

Now, Note 5 performs the same, lasts for 1.5 hours of Continuous VR, overheats at 20+ minutes.

Tsk, you see, sometimes i look at what ive done on the internet (fudge real life) and think about things.

So far, i think im quite behind to my own expectations. Yeah, i make avis, and a huge Yeah on onr of my 3DS homebrew projects kinda booming on reddit (look, 1.5k upvotes and 600+dls on mediafire is still a huge number for Me), and if we cound my nexus account with my mods eh, meh +2k dls.. Practically these are still laughable numbers. Especially if we look from a viewpoint of an avg 10yo tiktoker with 67+ mil followers.

What i got on my mind of slightly increase that statistics by doing a few things

Picking up my abandoned MOCAP poroject, and post it on Somewhat functional form already (i had issues with interpolation and file sizes), so, ill just ignore both of those issues for now, polish other things up, and post Free alpha already. And any other version would also be free. Because Fudge Luxor. (not github tho, im too embarassed to show This project to world)

Update my OSC-Controller app's github repo and add layout customization (i think this one is important), AND add a brr... i hate to say it... A vRcHaTFuRy asset that would set things up automatically. (For self-admitted computer illiterates)

And i Might pick on YT since i got quite a few things to yap about, if you look at my older posts. i Absolutely love old VR tech, and i could yap about it for hours.

Probably also he-he, a funny beatsaber ranking numbers, tho hwo in their Right mind would brose trough peoples' profiles and even look for them on social networks?! im not a bandoot for ya'.

ain't got no aura, and hopelessly trying to aurafarm. And ontop of that i will personally decompile and resale MY application on Unity, since "your" game does not belong to "you", due to Wokedot's copyright and license, and how easy it is do decompile things and literally return them back into the project including code comments. Obfuscation? Oh-ooooh, you're probably violating god's number one rule of not making open source games and get 99.999% of geedauwt clankers against you on gadut related forums. Who in their right mind, and not under substances or gunpoint would use DwokeDOT_NET, i would've dismembered myself at the point of addressing a scene from a file location in the project, instead of using a convenient immutable ID for asset that Never-Ever changes. Also, what the hell the C# extension is? It's a half-baked .NET implementation by amatures, that doesn't work in most cases.

Why did Doki Doki Literature Club were made on Python? No idea. But that also was a thick mistake. Bad yolo aura.

Now, go and do Normal things a Normal Person (not a furry) would do, like uhh, umm, Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 on Windows 11 with the Bestest Microsoft 360 Copilot with C# Tollkit SDK plugin, and Unity with Their new Unity AI✨ in Unity 6.9_67_f9-11. If Unity is not your thing (your reeeel dummy, no swag, F), use Unreal Engine 5! Get an Amazing Microsoft Visual Studio 2026 on Windows 11 with the Bestest Microsoft 360 Copilot for C/C++ plugin pre-installed (never-ever use clang, we don't talk about that castrated junk, using it is like committing a world's cheapest te*st attack in IT), and use AI✨ Upscaling! UE5 would allow your artistic self to release itself, and performance doesn't matter! Just enable AI✨ Upscaled Frame Generation, and get cinematic motion!

Since i got distortion figured out (mostly), i decided that it's time for a second sell point for me; a somewhat functional hand tracking.

(The first and main were freedom and lack of any account/registration requirement. Headset just WORKS. And it's also super cheap., almost like M-Quest 1) A little addition, im NOT talking about 2D point type of tracking, because it can be ran on any single-camera device, and does Not track fingers/depth. And it's Exclusively about Original HTC Vive Focus (with a single controller) in a vacuum, with no comparison to other headsets, because i like to tinker with things.

SOOooo, the brave souls who had tried (or found) any apps that included hand tracking could tell, that it's here clearly for a checkmark to say Oh yeah, it's here. And yes, it is indeed here, and poll rate (pps = polls per second) varies on an application's FPS. Here's some observations (doesn't matter if VBlank is on): 15 pps anything between (15-40fps), 20pps up to (70fps) and 25 when above 70.

It really depends of contrast lighting, so strapping a usb C LED in front of headset is a nice addition, that would also increase poll rate of cameras themselves during the day time, because headset don't need to change exposure for dark spots.

There is not interpolation between those poses. They are fed as is as an output in GestureProvider component. And even then, there's around 1/3 second of delay bettween the latest poll, hence, some kind of "motion prediction", or as i prefer to call it, a Motion Amplification needed. Same with rotation.

And it's Only the wrist tracking. You can get same thing by setting tracking pose from Skeletor to 3D Point to simplify things to yourself, and get rid of issues with fingers. (poll rate and tracking quality is the same as Skeleton tho), probably a good idea to include a hand tracking timeout, so hand won't disappear on immediate hand loss, and stays visible for 2-3 polls, in case the tracking itself looses the hand for whatever reason and finds it shortly after.

At last, the fingers themselves. Oh-h-h-h boy, where do i begin that one.. They are here. Yeah. And they probably are the lamest thing from entire hand tracking algoritm HTC had made until they released vive Flow. Asfar as i know Frooxius had to Modify the way it worked in Neos for Vive Pros just to make it a bit more stable. Fingers collapse on themselves, making weird stuff under most hand angles and just break on each joint Plus default MeshRender object for prefab hands is Super unoptimized and causes that joint jank on a first place. Fixes i got on my mind are including a Heavy modification of that hand MeshRender hand script to Remove that joint jank and only set each finger' rotation on Y axis, so they at least won't go sideways (bisides the first bone in a finger), and make a Simple curl parameter for each finger that would return float, and Not 4 V3 vectors per finger. Plus, as far as i can tell, script tries to calculate finger length every frame. In my case, id would've been more like; When headset's proximity sensor detects user (Application.Unpaused), wait for user to bring hands and calibrate them for idk, 30-90 polls, and then use that hand&finger size calibration until proximity senser gets re-triggered by re-putting headset on (by Potentially, a different person)

There's gonna be more yapping about this headset later on, because i'm too invested into this thing, and i'm just in a mood for this type of stuff as of rn.

im like on the edge of max ipd.

Yes, i exist, Hello, and my ipd is 72; a blobfish's ipd.

And it's hard to impossible to find a daily-drive headset with Anything close, even quest 2 with it's 68 is not enough, i have to shove the pen eracer between lense containers and plasticky bits to fixate the ipd on slightly higher value than a max possible one.

a year later. Then, and now, still, i feel anxious about that game. Not in a bad bad way, but like, weirdly. i do see appeal in it, and i wanted to make some stuff with it back then, but then kinda forgot about it, because simple process of my neurons firing memories of that game made me feel too anxious and kept me up an night, and i don't want to get older by being constantly on nerves.

i like tis random ah "leak" on gear vr controller from around 2016.

Even ignoring design and practicality, How in the universe those buttons would click, and joystick move? i mean, macbook 2016's keyboard vibes + 3ds joystick? And now with practicality and comfort.. however made this render.. are they on crack? How in the Universe would you Hold it? It's a piece of flat soap that is Not made for human hands. And the final thing: Gamepads exist, and what was the Point of modelling This inpractical abomination with no shifts, second joystick and d-pad? OG GearVR Innovator Edition for Note 4 had Samsung's gamepad included. And judging by new meta logo that got changed from an Eye, it came after Rift CV1. and rhymes with GVR 4 with controller THAT ALREADY HAD AN XBOX ONE GAMEPAD WITH IT. i think im gonna explode with how Absurd this render is, gravy.

ive been todays years old when i found out that "Swatch" is a brand.

Riddle me this, nerd, how in the universe trigger on trackers marked as a float, when it doesn't work with anything analog.
