❤ Overview

The application uses the headset's cameras to display a live view of physical objects like keyboards, controllers, desks, and other surroundings within the virtual environment. This allows users to seamlessly interact with both the virtual and physical worlds simultaneously.

❤ Immersive Mixed Reality

Players praise the app's ability to create an immersive mixed reality experience. By having a live video feed of their physical environment displayed within the VR space, users can easily reference items like keyboards, controllers, and desks without having to constantly remove their headset. This enhances immersion and allows for more natural and intuitive interactions. For example, players note that being able to see their hands and physical controls within the VR space makes activities like sim racing, flight simulation, and productivity tasks much more comfortable and efficient.

❤ Customizable Camera Boxes

The application lets users customize the placement and behavior of the "camera boxes" that display the real-world objects. Players can adjust the size, position, and transparency of these boxes to best suit their needs. Common use cases include placing a camera box over a desk or keyboard to easily reference physical controls, creating a "cockpit" view that shows the player's HOTAS or racing wheel setup, and positioning a box to keep an eye on the floor or a chair for seated VR experiences. The ability to fine-tune the camera boxes and how they interact with the virtual environment is greatly appreciated by players, as it allows for a highly personalized mixed reality setup.

❤ Flexible Activation Methods

The app provides several different activation methods for the camera boxes: proximity-based (boxes fade in/out based on the user's distance), gaze-based (boxes are shown/hidden based on the user's line of sight), and button-based (boxes can be toggled on/off with a button press). This flexibility allows players to choose the most appropriate activation method for their use case and personal preferences. For example, sim racers may prefer the button-based activation to quickly toggle their wheel and HOTAS into view, while productivity users may find the gaze-based system more convenient for referencing a physical keyboard.

❤ Broad Headset Compatibility

The application is compatible with a wide range of VR headsets, including the Valve Index, Meta Quest 2/3, HP Reverb G2, and various Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Players note that the performance and visual quality of the camera feed do depend on the specific headset being used, with higher-end models like the Valve Index and Meta Quest 3 providing a clearer and more responsive experience. However, the app is generally praised for working well across the supported devices.
