Is it possible to add plugins to the Male VR hands? Im not talking about the malke person, just the floating VR hands. If you could add the chroma keyaiier to them it might work? That way atleast youd see your own hands instead of those. Maybe replace the texture file with just a transparent image?
Does anyone know where the VR Hands texture file eve in? or the .vap file?

Going, Going, Gone - Plugins + Scripts -

This plugin is a remixed/salvaged/refactored version of the numerous plugins and scripts which are "around" that deal with making body parts disappear or transparent. The main difference is that this plugin is less "aggressive" in replacing...

Going going gone works for this, makes the possessed person invisible and if you lower the render que you can see your arms infront of the character. Ir doesnt work perfect, you have to scale the person to match your arm and hand sizes but its all we have? I only tested it for like 30 minutes so maybe some tweaks will get the right result.

Wow it freakin works! I keep accidentally grabbing her though. It's like Virtual Desktop messed with my controller settings. Any thoughts on how to fix?

So far Virtual Desktop is not working well for this compared to Steam Link, don't know why but Steam Link just performs better in terms of hand tracking
 
I'm using ALVR (https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/) instead of ALXR on my Pico 4 Ultra and passthrough is working pretty well, although I'm still tweaking settings to try and reduce the green borders. It allows you to set the chroma key using either RGB or HSV. The HSV implementation is more complicated and in theory more flexible, but I'm not seeing better results yet.

ALVR also has hand tracking, but I can't get it working in VaM yet. It's fine using Pico Connect but then there's no transparency and it would be nice to have both at the same time.

The good thing is that we're not dependent on ALXR, which seems to be a bit out of date now.
 
I have an issue where the background changes color on my PC but through my Quest 3 it stays black.

I am using VD with a Quest 3. Looks to be a Sally Color plugin issue but not sure.

Thanks!

Try reinstalling the Sally color plugin and removing the old versions
 
Sharing my setup that's working with a Meta Quest 3S & Steam on Windows 11 -- super easy to get the passthrough without VD, but I get a border.

Setup:
SteamVR
ALVR (alvr_streamer_windows.zip only): https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/releases/tag/v20.14.1
ALVR right through the quest store: https://www.meta.com/experiences/alvr/7674846229245715/
CameraBackground Plugin: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/camera-background-color.24185/

With SteamVR on, I just run the ALVR Dashboard from alvr_streamer_windows on the host PC, then within the quest I run the ALVR app. Connect + trust, and then it's off to the races.

I do have developer mode enabled with passthrough over link turned on, haven't seen if that's required or not yet.

What border? Show a pic by what you mean
 
For sure, it's definitely due to the chrome key being super strict, and the camera background bleeding onto the model, is my guess.

Just some edits:
I've done this with other colors, messed with aliasing settings, etc. This is super common in any chrome key application (and called out! The reason we'd do a blue screen is blue on skin isn't as perceptible!).
Solid black has other issues with shadows, obviously. I want to be clear this isn't a problem with the software, just the technique -- though I do want to dig in to see if there's ways to make the chroma key a range in ALVR or similar. Feathering didn't seem to do it for me. Another avenue is to see if I can remove the reflection on the model from the ColorBackground plugin, and isolate space that's not supposed to be rendered at all from ones that interact with scene atoms.

I'm using a blue color, so the border line is subtle. I'm using Virtual Desktop. I try with green color, but the border line is way bigger.

The same one that is in this article :
Blue (0, 71, 187) Similarity 20%, Smoothness 3%

However, if you have clothes / hair or a scene that use blue color near this setting, you will get passthrought on these.

If you mean movement on the stick, then the problem is in the latest update of steam vr. I rolled back the version of steam vr and movement through VD worked.

i see this now: https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/native/android/mobile-passthrough-over-link/ . since i am using meta quest link app over the wired connection, i wanted to ask can i directly use this?
Click to expand...
Short answer: No

1) Almost zero apps let you do that with Quest Link wired connection. If you want to experience how bad it is yourself download "Medium by Adobe" and try it
2) It is extremely laggy and desaturated compared to wireless passthrough since it is rendering a separate camera layer. Why you ask? Ask Meta, I genuinely don't know why they would do that

In summary: You cannot do it with that
 
I am able to launch through virtual desktop but all I get is a black screen nothing else. does anyone else have this issue?
