What Quest 3 can do for VAM VR

[capta134]

Well, that is highly subjective. What is the likelihood an average man can have a super gorgeous girlfriend who has a supermodel body, be available on demand, and does not cost money?

You could be right for now but if mix VR gets more sophisticated and evolves further in the future, nothing is certain.

The above is especially true if VR integrates with fast-evolving AI technology such as ChatGPT AI.

I see some VAM plugins such as "Alive" already use ChatGPT AI. wow! So do not be surprised if next time you
go inside the scene, the girl remembers your name and your favorite things and can talk with you just like a real person.

Just tested couple days with quest 3 and its meh at best. Battery life sucks even with it being wired. When fully charged, I have about 2 hour-ish and quest link software side isn't all that great either. No hand tracking and couldn't change the environment or turn off the background sound. Hand tracking works in the wireless version but quality and speed suffer depending if you have a good wifi. My main purpose was to use pcvr and access everything through vr with my computer. It would be nice to have a plugin for hand tracking, instead of using the controller. Imagine hand tracking ur looks, be pretty nice.

VoxtaAI already does that (because LLMs are capable of this) and can, to a certain amount, even remember where your conversation has stopped last time and picks it up again, of course telling you by name
Plus you can configure as much characters and their background as you want, i.e. one being just smart and the other one being always horny...

but If you do sell the reverb just for the passthrough

@keycode actually I'm not super interested in pass-through, I'm mainly just interested in the absolute best image quality, not just for VaM but for watching adult videos. Sounds like the Reverb G2 is about the same as the Q3?

Quest 3 is still clearer because of the lenses, Reverb old fresnel lenses add alot of blur.

Hey @keycode you said you also have a Reverb G2? How does the Quest 3 image quality compare to it? I have a G2 and am thinking of selling it, then putting the money towards a Q3.

I sold my G2 about 2 weeks ago and have the Q3, never miss my G2 lol

it seems also that we can stop OVR service (so, not only steamVR, but even the online oculus-facesuck spyware too) when playing vam through VirtualDesktop... and a quest toy. Later today I will test if it is true what they told me in VD discord... it seems realistic to me, because the VD headset network tasks they are not involving oculus store crapware.

That is very interesting. Please let us know about your findings.

The clarity of the person in your video is impressive! Did you use Sally's plugin to change the background color?

 

[capta134]

So if you stop OVR proccess, can you still play VAM using virtual desktop "In VR" mode?

 

[capta134]

yes, without negative consequences... we loose nothing, besides some facesuck zukkiniberg spyware. And don't forget Saint66 bat file shared in here: for cleaning away steamVR crapware the best solution. All we can do (mostly just) to save us from invasive criminal shitware pollution.

Thanks for sharing. For those viewers who are less technical, the bat files startOVR.txt and stopOVR.txt use an internal Windows "net" command to stop and start the Oculus Runtime Service.

These bat files are 100% safe and harmless.

However, this is what Meta claims: "The Oculus Runtime Service powers your headset. Disabling this service will prevent Oculus from running on your computer".

I did disable this service and the only effect was not being able to use Oculus Link.( which is not important at all since VD works much better). I could run VAM VR with no issues.

I think Keycode's finding is very important since it prevents Meta from monitoring users activities on their PCs (if that's true).

 

[capta134]

forgot to notice: it seems that the fuxxxg OVR service has to bypass the ovrSTOP batch command at each time when we restart windows (probably because being per default ON in the auto-start register key list). I am sure it is/should be easy to solve this question simply placing that "stopOVR" batch command in an automatic "later" execute mode or better... maybe permanently disabling oculus VR runtime service in our system manager list (just for vam playing and quest headsets using VirtualDesktop).

Good ideas. Still some people with slow internet have no choice but to use Oculus link. They need to keep OVR alive to be able to play PC VR.

Well at least we now know their claim of " The Oculus Runtime Service powers your headset. Disabling this service will prevent Oculus from running on your computer" is NOT True or at least we do not need to have Oculus run in our computers for PC VR interaction with Quest 3.

You may consider making a VAM Guide for your findings. I personally find it worthwhile,

Yes i used that plugin. But I dont just match the chroma numbers to the virtual desktop chroma key. Instead, i manually move the little box around in the sally plugin color picker box until i see the least outline around the person. Gives much better result than just matching numbers.

I've looked everywhere. Somewhere a plugin was mentioned in connection with the passthrough that was called “no render” or something similar. I don't think anything was rendered other than the look. I can't find this plugin anywhere and I can't find the thread again. Can someone help me?

Are you referring to: Sally?CameraBackgroundcolor.4?
