Hi,
ive successfully managed to get Virtual Reality running with my HTC Vive and the JD Camera, very nice
Is anyone aware how to use the Vive Controllers to control the arms, like in that video as JD controls the arms live and sets up new frames via button clicks?
That would be awesome!
Thx and greetz!! Thomas

@Mickey666Maus how are you using ez-robot and the oculus quest as I am looking at buying one but want to make sure that I can use the headset and controllers with ez-robot. The oculus quest is not wired to the computor right?
Also could smeone create a plugin that allows you to use you oculus quest with ez-robot.
I know the oculus quest used to allow Steam VR to work with the headset. I read somewhere recently that oculus pulled support for steam vr. I think that's the only option you have, is to see if you can restore steam vr support.
A plugin can never run on the oculus device. That won't be the solution. What you'd need is an Android application that can run on it.
Have you tried to load the Virtual Reality Robot android app on your device? Can the oculus quest access google play?
It's going to be a tough process because the oculus is a pretty closed ecosystem. Unlike the other vr headsets, oculus doesn't really co-operate with the open standards.
I can install it I think by downloading the vr.apk that connects to synthiam but the controllers would not be able to be used, and I want to be able to use the quest controllers with the quest. Also I have not bought the quest yet. Have any quest controllers hanging around:D.
The vr.apk does not work with the Oculus Quest....
You do not need a plugin, you can simply send the servo positions to the ARCs Http Server, its very easy!!
The problem was, that we only got it to work with Serial Bus Servos...so it will not work on any robot using standard PWM servos!
Also you need to build a custom .apk in Unity for your robot, which might involve learning Unity!
