Version for oculus rift?

[Foris]

Hello.
Do you plan to release a version for oculus rift? For games from the oculus store.

[Sergio]

Hello.
There is no such plan. At least for now.

[Foris]

Thank you for your answer.

Hi, will it work on games running OpenVR (ie. rFactor2) and what features will work for games running SteamVR, using a Rift?

All, except - Reprojection Ratio, Dropped Frames and battery charge of controllers.

(some games may switch to Oculus API even if started via SteamVR)

Thanks. What do you mean when some games may switch to Oculus API, what would be the consequence w/ the app (ie. what then would be missing)? Thanks again.

fpsVR will only work on the Oculus Rift in games that do not force the Oculus SDK/API.
Some games (Elite Dangerous, Pavlov VR, ...) will override the SteamVR SDK/API when using an Oculus Rift, and prevent SteamVR from drawing to the headset. In this case, fpsVR will not work with those games. (fpsVR doesn't utilize the Oculus SDK/API).

I see... There a way to determine which games, or if a game does this (ie. forces to use the Oculus API)? For ex. PCars2 and Assetto Corsa & AC Competizione can run SVR or OR, rFactor2 runs SVR but recently also OpenVR, so I'm not sure w/c of these would be affected. Sorry if it might sound a novice question. Thanks again.

I suppose: run the SteamVR, run the game, open SteamVR mirror (if SteamVR still running), if there is no game's picture - it is that type of game.

Make an Oculus SDK version ?

I'd love that! Despite me purchasing it already :) And even though I have no use for it now since rF2 and R3E now runs with Open Composite, if an Oculus version is made, I can then use it again for AC and ACC :) Please :)

[Sergio]

The problem is.... I do not see a similar to SteamVR(OpenVR API) functional for overlays in Oculus SDK.

Can it pull up a window on the Oculus Dash screen ? That way you only see the info when Dash is up

Dash is an overlay that pops up when you press a button: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMjlM5vFSA0

About possibility add support for Oculus SDK, answer from the Oculus/Facebook::

Unfortunately, we don’t provide the ability for devs to plug into an overlay like Steam does, and we already have a built-in performance HUD that does similar things, so we will have to pass on your offer to add support for your tool to the Oculus SDK, but thanks for reaching out in any case.

I am considering adding partial support for the Oculus API in future versions (without overlays)

For more information on Oculus headsets support in the actual version of fpsVR, please, read in topic "fpsVR Q&A"

Update:
I am also developing overlays for OpenXR (except for SteamVR, since it already works with SteamVR). I already have a working prototype. But there are many nuances and problems, and I am not yet ready to say when such a version will be released or whether it will ever be released.

Couldn't it be done like how it was with the Oculus Tray Tool (by ApolloonVR)?
