Graham Wakefield [vr] Package works for Oculus Quest 2

I have no idea, I don't have a Quest 2

The [vr] package supports both Oculus API (LibOVR SDK version 1.1.15) and SteamVR API (OpenVR SDK). If the Quest 2 works with either of those, it should work with [vr].

However there's a chance we might need to update the SDK versions for the [vr] package, as they haven't been updated for a few years now.

From a quick google, it looks like Quest 2 support was added to LibOVR in SDK version 23, which is quite a big jump forward. That means it might need a bit more work to update the [vr] package, I don't know how much their API has changed.

But if Quest 2 can work with SteamVR, then it might work already right now.

Hello Graham,
Thanks for answering in person in this short time :-)
Will borrow a Quest 2 and test it out. Perhaps it works out of the box.
Will post my experience.
All the best,
HH

Hello Helt and Graham,

I've tried out quest 2 with MAX /VR package with the cable (oculus link) and worked well. In order to connect to Quest 2 via cable you need to install the desktop Oculus App. I still need to try the wirelles connection.

hello sandroid,
thank you very much for the information !
have you also tryed to use the quest 2 controller ?
will test the wifi connection next week.
all the best,
HH

Any update on this topic ?
did someone managed to use a quest 2 wireless with Max VR ?
what about the controllers ?
Is there a way to get hands tracking in Max ?

Cheers

Mathieu

Hey everyone.

I'm very much interested in this topic as well! Thank you Sandroid for letting us now that the Quest 2 works well with the package, this is great news. Have you tried the wireless connection as well?

Ive just tested a Quest2 with Max VR : it works very well with airLink and Virtual Destop.
Much more stable and reliable than a Vive Pro Wireless, for a fraction of the price... it's amazing !

With AirLink : Max VR uses the Oculus driver ; it works just fine, I could use the controllers.

With Virtual Destop : you have more options to adjust streaming quality, and it allows you to run steamVR applications ; Max VR will run using steamVR drivers.
AND : there's a very cool option : you can use hand tracking : hands are seen as controllers (pinch & grab emulate trigger and button)
You can't get all hand's joints & fingers positions, but at least it's possible to use hands with Max.
I guess it *should* be possible to get hands data, as it seem to work in Unity (probably using developer mode ...)
Hands tracking on the Quest2 has smaller latency and wider field of view than using a leapMotion, but hands occlusion is a bit less permissive.

my conclusion after 2 days of test : the Quest2 seems to be a very good choice to explore VR in Max
inside-out tracking + image quality + low latency + wireless + attractive price = :-)

I would really love to find a way to get all hands tracking data into Max ; any help would be very welcome :-)

Mathieu, thank you so much for testing, those are all great news! Sounds really interesting indeed. Having native integration without Virtual Desktop would be great, but having hand tracking is already pretty amazing. Nice, will be getting one soon!

One extra thing that I just noticed: it seems that the VR package doesn't work with GL3. I get the error: "ob3d_draw_begin: GL Error: Invalid enumeration". Any ideas?

I've got a fairly untested build of a gl3 compatible vr.mxe that you are welcome to try.

To update first install the VR package from the Package Manager, and then replace this unzipped mxe64 into the externals folder of the existing VR package.
