VD for passthrough

[VAMIC]

Really can't wait to try this with the Quest 3 when it arrives, but this also works on Quest 2 for anyone curious. Truly a game changer and much easier than past methods.

If you pick up an object inside VaM and then put the controller down and wait for it to go to sleep - once it does, you end up holding the object in your virtual hand anyway even without the controller as I'm guessing the hand tracking gets activated and still works as it goes through

wow so cool

... it's a science fiction dream made true.
(now, if only we could kill that idiot "quest guardian" - meaning: just a disturbing security safety element when using passthrough that is showing any obstacle)

Wasn't there developer settings to disable Guardian completely? Cannot check now, not on PC

unfortunately I think it is not anymore possible (at least for my very limited skill and Geduld) !
I was checking yesterday various (reddit unofficial) methods, very promising and smart BUT one more boringly complicated than the other (for a peone chronic newb like me) ... ensuring unrestricted .apk access to the quest (via usb of course). Very nice but it remembers me too much the last century adventures when it was a standard to spend a lot of time with some antique smart-phones' operative system.
or
I was also trying to "test" with an official actualized zukkiniberg "developer" meta account ... a meta absurdity beyond the imagination requiring a full day just to understand the logic of an infinite list of fucking meta-rules for this once banal alternative (with rift-s and before).
I was looking for and finding a lot of talks ... but no method fast easy plug-and-fap: in the zukkiniberg gang they fear too much legal consequences if an idiot steam player has accidents falling from an open window during a fps session

ps: thanks THANKS a lot for your Gotham .bat method : I get around 100 fps passthroughing in my studio a sex action scene with 2 persons, sim hairs, a lot of plugins (cue, naturalis, etc. etc.) for both male/female and a 3 points lights. ? ... getting rid of steam crapware was also only a dream with reverb. Really thanks a lot to a german Bat-man ?

Just had the chance to check it. In Settings -> Developer there is still the option to deactivate Guardian

Its in the settings of your headset, not in Oculus SW (given that you have enabled developer mode in your smartphone app)

Hello when I launch VAM using VD it launches through SteamVR
Is this normal or not ?
I do not have Occulus software installed on my PC.
What is the best performance wise ?
Thanks

Make a batch file like this (replace your path to VAM), launch Virtual Desktop and start the batch file from there, this will bypass Steam:
"C:\Program Files\Virtual Desktop Streamer\VirtualDesktop.Streamer.exe" "F:\VR\Clean\VaM.exe"

Ok i will try but what is preferable ? Steam VR or not ? And shall I install occulus software on PC ?

Bypassing Steam is advised. Try the batch file, I am unsure if it requires Oculus SW (I have it installed). If VAM is not starting in VR, install it

thanks! enabling dev. account in quest app ??? I was trying to... since the first day, then I was deleting each invasive, privacy spycrapware dirty shit zukkiniberg app ass-print from my mobile device. The "two" options (they pretend that those gangster blackmails are "options" ) we need to obey to get a banal fucking developer freedom?? ... the most funny is that we "must/can" create (???) a sort of "real" [????] "technical team" a sort of private company for digital creatives ... to enable two factors verif. login with our phone number, to show them that we have a credit card account and to enable in the app a list of bullshits spycrapware etc. etc. ... and all that just to cut away boundaries guardian??? ... no, thanks!... So I can keep like it is, I guess ? . Fuck off zukkiniberg!

that's the actual procedure to piss out a bloody zukkiniberg dev. account with quest 3.

ps: last but not least.. was I forgetting to mention how many gracious reminders to "share" our shit private data in fuckfacebucks (facebook) there are in any "naz-social" quest 3 setting list?? should I mention that too?

OT: about your kind video ------> I saw those (real wood boxes?) very very nice two loudspeakers near the monitor. Are they active powered monitors with bluetooth connection? wich model/mark .... hoping you can share something about them before they ban me and my vam hub registration too (was moving my pc away in a room far from my beloved hi-fi ... so I need there too a similar good but cheap surrogate to enjoy music)

No, this are Edifier Studio Monitors (R1700BT), wired and powered (they have a bluetooth option as well).
I am a sound whore, I need good sound

And really, setting up a dev account is easy peasy, but you seem to have a Zucki hate, cannot help u there.
I am glad he brought us all the affordable toys

But anyway, removing the Guardian will also disable passthrough, lol

 

[spidaman75]

Does anyone know what the default values are for the passthrough colors? Thanks

There are no such. The chroma color is set by you, the VD ones have be the same ones in VAM.
Some say blue'ish is best, some green'ish, some use a mix.
It also heavily depends on scene lighting and content, since everything in the chroma color range will be keyed out as well.

ok thanks I just wanted the original ones as I play other games and I can see my room in my other games as well lol

Any idea how to color the male with the green color but keep the physics and collisions?
Setting the skin color doesn't do much since the lighting changes the shades.
And anyway it would be nice to disable male rendering in VAM but keep his collisions
