Mixed Reality is the future of VR and this small step is a taster of things to come. To use Color Panel your headset must be capable of using Virtual Desktop and operating wireless. Currently I think this will be limited to Q2, Q3 and Pico4. Check out my follow up video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/imeXqGWtibtnjtksi=opGl3V7dh3Jj8aBV

This looks really promising. I have been holding off switching to VR specifically because of the passthrough issue and using all of my cockpit peripherals. The other one that I am watching closely is the Yaw VR version that seems much closer to a true mixed reality but is currently only in Limited Beta on Steam. Now if the Crystal Super has Color MR passthrough I will be set to make the move. 😊

This seems to be a wonderful tool! I hope I can try it tonight. An alternative modus could be a window that is fixed in your fov that you could toggle with a button on your stick or yoke. And with that window you could just peek around and turn it off when done.

How about making it respond to your head movements? It could pop up when you glance at it, just like the UI Panels in Elite:Dangerous! 😄

The pieces for a truly immersive vr experience are slowly coming together. I’m glad it supports openxr. I’m very curious how close an alignment you can achieve with your yoke and our TPM in the Comanche. This would be the true test. Probably closer than our Spitfire controls can manage.

This might finally allow me to fly on VATSIM or BATC in VR, because I might be able to take and see my notes.
@pmadsea0775 ай бұрын
I've been flying on the Vatsim network in VR for about a year now. I'm not sure if you find this helpful but I get my IFR clearance before putting my headset on. I use a kneeboard with my note pad and if I need to make any notes in flight, I loosen my headset strap just enough so I can peak out enough to see my note pad.

I have a Pico 4 which i think is great, it's my first VR set. What I'd love to be able to do is to use my hands/fingers to press buttons etc in the VR cockpit. The Pico recognises hands in the home area, so I feel it's tantalisingly close but I'm still waiting! I salute the creators of these add ons, i think they're really clever but I agree with others that it's a bit too 'immersion-breaky'.

I got a Quest 3 mostly because I was interested in checking out it's stand alone features and wanted to see how the passthrough worked. I'm considering selling it as I haven't had a ton of time to use it, but maybe this version of mixed reality might be really fun to play with in MSFS. My main headset is the Pimax Crystal for MSFS to have the most clarity. But I was impressed with what the Quest 3 has for resolution and how good the pancake lenses are. I noticed how wide the sweet spot was, and how comfortable it is to settle into. I feel on the Crystal I have to make sure it doesn't move too far out of position otherwise I lose the sweet spot.

THANK YOU. I cannot wait to see if this works in Virtual Desktop using VDXR instead of StreamVR. I have been trying to like RealityMixer ... actually, let me reframe the thought. I love RealityMixer, I just cannot stand using SteamVR as VDXR gives me so much smoother performance. When i try to use RM under StreamVR I actually get a little queasy because of the stutters. If this works with VDXR, I'm all in, though I wish it would have all the options of RM.

Question 2: If so, how exactly do I get to the Virtual Desktop settings window to make the streaming, video and passthrough settings! Question 3: Does “Virtual Desktop” mean the same thing as the Virtual Desktop in Windows 11? Thank you Hans Peter

( the "tick box" in pimax play wont stay ticked amongst other pimax unstable software shenannigens). So maybe this works on a pimax headset ? ..maybe worth a try. Credit to yourself ,the developer Spitice and of course Russ Barlow for bringing it to the communities attention. 👍😀
