Update 316...Telepath locomotion, reskinning real life rooms into VR, playing chess with hand tracking...
EDIT : i came down with something last night so having all this ready for all avatars at the weekend is possibly not gonna happen 😒
G'day 👋 (our Aussie friends will understand that 😃)
This update brings the following for Suki only, the rest of the avatars will have these things by the weekend.
Telepath locomotion, one of the few things that couldn't be done in the app was to manually walk the avatar using hand tracking, not any more! The vid best describes it, but basically make a closed fist, and tap with your thumb to activate a pointer for where you want the avatar to go to, point to somewhere on the floor (move your closed fist), when the pointer is green it means its walkable floor, and then tap your thumb again
The reskinning of our real rooms with Suki is ready to be used (but I will improve it), for safety there are some things that will be rendered in passthrough although this can be toggled off, the vids shows it. Please be careful with this feature, although it's safer now that certain things from our real rooms etc still show up, please take care
Chess can now be fully played with hand tracking! Close your palm when touching the chess board to move it. Pieces can still be moved with pointing at the pieces and squares to move with hand tracking. Or just use our fingers to make a pinch gesture on a piece, move it, release it. Please note : when we are pointing at the chess board/looking at it with hand tracking enabled, Suki can't hear us, this was to stop accidentally inputting our voice when we were just trying to move a piece, because moving a chess piece is the same as hand tracking voice input : a pinch. Suki can hear us when we look at her, so look at her if you want to speak to her (with hand tracking enabled).
The only thing left in the app now that hand tracking can't be used for is the Flowerbed VR scene, which will be worked on soon. Because it doesn't come with controllers I'm getting things sorted with hand tracking because I hope to have TykeAI compatible with the new Meta VR Glasses (no promises, but I will try) and also to possibly put TykeAI on the Meta Store with strictly safe for work avatars like Mervin, Tyke, Ravi, etc.
