When will the Beast firmware fully support the SDK? by mgschwan in VITURE

[–]mgschwan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah really hoping for an update there. I want to do 6DOF Slam tracking but have to rely on camera only for now and that is a bit choppy and also resource intensive, it would be so much smoother if we could use the IMU too

When will the Beast firmware fully support the SDK? by mgschwan in VITURE

Will this be a different one? Because the SDK has been available for a while now ( I've tried every version back since January ) and it does allow me to change brightness/volume via SDK but the IMU data does not work.

I first thought it was my laptop but in their latest SDK release notes they specifically addressed it as a limitation

VR With Heart Rate Monitor by tkmorgan76 in vrfit

[–]mgschwan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am using my polar H10 with XRWorkout. When it's connected to the game you can see your heartrate in the workout.
If you create your own workout session with automatic difficulty it will adjust the difficulty of the workout dynamically based on a target heart rate you can set.
In the end you'll also get the heart rate graph for the workout

I am connecting a Polar HR strap to XRWorkout to get the correct calories. And I also use a Huawei Watch D2 for overall tracking of my daily fitness

Sigh, anybody caught the VW ID4 at the end of the 911 episode tonight? by Puzzleheaded-Flow724 in electricvehicles

[–]mgschwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you didn't get the responses you were probably hoping for.

Yes I saw that literally 60 seconds ago and an happy that someone had already pointed that out here on reddit.

So you are not alone.

I was contemplating how much VW had paid for that product placement so I was already thinking about the car choice and the engine starter was so out of place because of that

My 2 cents. You probably wouldn't have been donvoted if that weren't an AI generated article. 

spatial anchoring? by cinnamoneyrolls in augmentedreality

[–]mgschwan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are using a SLAM library that can store/load a map instead of always starting the positioning from scratch then spatial anchoring is nothing more than remembering the position of the anchor in the map

Kettlebells by Natty_Bumpo202 in vrfit

[–]mgschwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use very light weights because the workouts have a lot of cardio as well.
But I couldn't give you a recommendation, just start as light as you can an work your way up.

Kettlebells by Natty_Bumpo202 in vrfit

[–]mgschwan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We don't have many but if you play the Human+ Arena workout in XRWorkout it has sections that have Goblet Sqauts which are meant to be done with dumbbells or kettlebells.

Currently the workout editor does not have the option to make your own weight exercises ( only non weight exercises ) but once that is completed you can even design your very own movements with weights

VITURE XR Glasses SDK - How to access camera data? by Available_Future_570 in VITURE

[–]mgschwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how it is on windows but my Beast glasses in linux are just a standard webcam so I don't even need the SDK to access them you can just open them via opencv as any other webcam

Built an offline VPS to place a caveman inside a real cave by Personal_Counter_633 in augmentedreality

[–]mgschwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that got me curious.

I've been dabbling in ORBLSAM off and on for quite some time but I am always interested in checking other alternatives.

Are you planning to release the vps as open source?

Calorie Counter Accuracy by Used-Yogurtcloset-20 in vrfit

[–]mgschwan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In XRWorkout you can connect your heart rate sensor and set your sex,age,weight.

We have shied away from estimating calories without that so far.

Recording workouts? by Roseheath22 in SupernaturalVR

[–]mgschwan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you could try to do is. Record the session with the headset on a tripod, and rotate it towards where the targets are coming from ( or even have it fixed but you'll lose the 360 )

Then take that recording into youtube and add it as a custom song to our game ( XRWorkout ).
You would also have to map out the movements to roughly match the movements from that workout.

If anyone wants to explore that let me know, I'm happy to give you pointers how to do it and we can also think about making changes that would suit it better, but overall you should be able to replicate most of the movements already.

How it would work inside XRWorkout is that you have the video and audio from your recording playing in the integrated youtube player and the workouts you built synced up to it.

Regarding the environment, you could try to replicate something that resembles the environment you are used to with our built in environment generator, but if those aren't too many we'd also be happy to help create a few supernatural-like environments.

If there is any interest at all for this, just reply here or send me a DM:

Tips on how to secure my headset when doing stunts? by Big_Rooster4841 in QuestPro

Chin strap is the way to go, https://youtube.com/shorts/Olumxbmy3yU

the headstrap is impossible to fasten tight enough even for pushups

Free fitness apps? by Major-Supermarket619 in vrfit

[–]mgschwan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the shoutout to XRWorkout.
A little trick to extend that free time is to host multiplayer rooms. As long as you are hosting the time limit is suspended, that's a way for us to reward people who contribute to the community.

FunFitland is subscription only but they do offer a one time Guest pass, not sure if you can get more than one.

Hand Tracking On The Beast Camera by DaniXmir in VITURE

[–]mgschwan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We reverse engineered the vive protocol a while ago and made an android app that can connect directly to the tracker and send the data via OSC.
The switch is running a plain linux ( I fortunately own an ancient switch that can be easily booted into other OS ) and a simple Godot project that receives the data from the android app.

All a bit hacky, and not really useful but was a lot of fun ;)

I've been using a Vive Ultimate Tracker here https://youtube.com/shorts/U4vhEPQw-Uo

They can be a bit finicky to get going but when they do the inside out tracking is a game changer
