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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipxkqpWoubyYiKs.htmlsi=opGl3V7dh3Jj8aBV

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.

Looks interesting, but having to fiddle with that square across my panel leads to a new aviation paradigm: aviate, navigate, communicate, VR-fiddligate! 😆

@themorethemerrier281 2 ай бұрын

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! 😄

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'.

This might finally allow me to fly on VATSIM or BATC in VR, because I might be able to take and see my notes.

@pmadsea077 2 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 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.

I can confirm.it works with the Pico 4, but only at low resolution.

I never get to fly in VR because in order to stay married, my wife is usually in the room and we are also watching TV together. I could use this window to be able to watch TV whilst flying. 🙂. I just got a Meta Quest 3, and haven't really tried it yet. Do you have a video on how you did you OpenXR + Quest 3 setup? I am unfamiliar with OpenXR.

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.

Wondering if you could please explain step by step how it's done or show a video with Pimax Crystal. THANKS for all your great tutorials

@SimHangerFS 2 ай бұрын

Sorry, I need to be clearer. Pimax Crystal has all the specs to use it (openXR runtime and passthrough), but you need VD app and wireless capability which is still to be made available from Pimax.

You were positive about Pimax Crystal Light (affordable high resolution) but mixed reality has the future so isn't this a show stopper for the Pimax Crystal light (no real color pass-through)?

Hi Mark You must be a mind reader! ..lol Past couple of days ive been trying to get the "pass through" mode to work on my pimax crystal and for the life of me i cant get it to work ..grr.

I think this will be useful if your fumbling and need to look at something quickly in the real world like he demonstrated, then close the view. I wonder if you could map different views to different buttons on your controls. It would be neat if it could have multiple views stored.
