VR Motion Cancellation - Time to test!

Yes, via SteamVR

There is a "startdesktopmode.bat" in the install directory that allows you to play with the interface...

This makes me rethink my construction, now I do not know whether to make a seat move or a full frame ...

Ahh thanks I'll give that go. I've only just ordered Touch, specifically for this purpose, didn't know it came with that.

Once it arrives I'll post results.

hello
It works with games outside steam .(cv1)?

put the steam VR on, turn on the emulator, let it be turned on, and can you run the game outside the steam? it is right?
user cv1...

I just asked the guys over on the FaseTech Racing Cube face book page how they were going to deal with VR motion cancellation and they seem to not have the same problem and they have their Rift sensor mounted on the rig?

Is this issue related to only a few motion simulator builds?

I've seen their videos and have been getting emailed the sneak previews of their platform...and wondered what they were doing about cancellation. Please press the point with them and ask what their solution is.

Where you have a camera placed on a platform or outside a platform?
thanks

So far they have only replied saying that they don't have an issue because they use an Oculus Rift sensor at head height.

I quoted an explanation that was given to me about the problem and haven't had a reply.

Can anyone explain to me exactly how to get the game in steam? Work in cv1 ... what should i choose if i cv1 in pare (running in okulus rift? Or vive?) I have to install to revive if i have an oculus? Where do i have a camera on or off the platform?
I'm in real chaos and maybe I'm not one of the oculus users /
thanks

Hey Fluke, it depends on how far and fast the sim moves how noticeable the issues are with the camera mounted on the rig. If all there was was optical sensing, mounting the camera on the rig would provide a frame of reference fixed to the rig. But the inertial sensors trip it all up.

People were tuning down the travel to keep the motion from messing with the tracking. Apparently Oculus changed something about how they handle the inertia data and that whacked mounting the camera on the rig - most likely they weighted the inertial data more somehow since they are processing more video in multi-camera setups.

But to not have a tracking issue, they may be moving slower and not as far. Pure guesses though. Not familiar with their sim. But the issue will remain and cause tracking artifacts unless properly corrected by knowing the position of the platform and subtracting it out of the head motion. If it's not much of a correction maybe it doesn't matter?

If you look at there vids showing the rig in action, it shows very fast movements including rotation. I suppose slow and high degrees of movements would be okay for flight sims and the rig is capable of being dialled down, but rapid movements for driving sims is likely to see the same problems everyone else seems to be trying to get round. Unless I have it all wrong?

I think you are right. Just going by what others are saying about motion cancellation and the increase in comfort and quality it gives, if they aren't doing it too, there may be motion artifacts in VR.

I spent some time trying to get this working on No Limits 2, but unfortunately the Open VR implementation of NL2 is just horrible, with an image that distorts similar to looking through a fish bowl when you move your head. So have gone back to my Camera Gimbal and Oculus driver which works well enough for me. May try it again on Assetto Corsa when I have some spare time, but I don't really have an issue with my current setup .

Eg. Fast movement - Tracking Camera on a Gimbal - This old video tells the story (even with camera losing Gimbal lock for a second, it was barely noticeable in the VR Headset - I have now fixed that issue). Like I said - currently good enough for me and no configuration stuffing around or Open VR issues.

Yep, downloaded/installed and enabled when Steam VR is active.
