As the title says, my valve 2.0 base stations will not connect to my qp. I have a 7 tundra dongle, and two valve watchmen dongles. My base stations will connect if I'm using my index headset however. Up until a few weeks ago everything was working fine. I'm using virtual desktop to connect if that matters. Any suggestions are appreciated, I've been trying to get this fixed for weeks.

What's the best/most secure way to attach a vive tracker to a quest 3 headset. I don't wanna have to worry about it and have it be loose.

I use a meta elite strap if that matters...

Hello everyone!! My name is Bill Bui, and I am a Ph.D. student in the Human Factors Psychology program at Wichita State University. I am recruiting volunteers for a research study investigating various factors affecting a user’s satisfaction with augmented/mixed reality. This online survey involves your experience with a recently used augmented reality or mixed reality application. The survey will ask questions regarding your demographic information and insights on survey statements.

Your responses will be kept confidential. The study is expected to take approximately 10-15 minutes, and you will be compensated $3 for your time, provided through an electronic cash transfer. Additionally, your name will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win one of four $25 gift cards. Here is the link: https://wichitastate.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0CBWKnSmfQjXLcG

and with extremely igh priced im talking above 1k if it wil be priced like the q3 or lower or a little higher wil it replace smartphones?

Hey folks!
My girlfriend and I just hit a major milestone: we launched our AI-powered mixed-reality game on Steam after a year of development. It’s called JazzHands, and the cool part? It’s mixed-reality without needing a VR/AR headset! All you need is a webcam, which we think makes it way more accessible for everyone, especially for people who aren’t deep into the whole VR/AR ecosystem yet.

A bit of backstory: we’re both CS students in the UK, and the idea kicked off at a hackathon hosted by our uni. After a couple of hackathon fails, we wanted to go bigger. AI was all the rage, so we decided to mix it with computer vision, which my girlfriend was super into. We ended up creating a hand gesture recognition model (using MediaPipe) that tracks hand gestures via webcam, and that became the core mechanic of the game.

The first prototype was made in a sleep-deprived 24-hour crunch (we even made a DIY arcade cabinet out of cardboard for the retro theme of the hackathon). During the event, people came by to try it out and we got some amazing feedback. Spoiler: the gesture controls were pretty janky, and people ended up waving their hands around in frustration half the time. But hey, it was a start.

If you want to see our very first prototype from the hackathon days, here's the link: Devpost Hackathon Page.

Here’s where it gets good: despite the early messiness, we placed 1st! After that, the game started to pick up some attention from different groups, including medical researchers who wanted to see if it could be adapted for stroke rehabilitation. That opportunity helped us refine the game even more, and over time, we improved the gesture recognition, added a story mode, and built out the difficulty progression so it didn’t feel so static.

We showcased it at a few events, treated everyone like beta testers (shoutout to all the people who left post-it note feedback at the booths), and a year later, the full version is on Steam!

What I love most is that you don’t need a fancy VR/AR setup to play. It’s mixed reality in a super accessible way – as long as you’ve got a webcam, you can dive right in. This makes the game way more approachable to a broader audience, whether you’re into mixed reality or just curious about AI-powered games.

TL;DR: We made a mixed-reality game that uses a webcam for hand gesture recognition. No headset needed, making it way more accessible! Went from hackathon prototype to full Steam release in a year.

I recently looked into AR as a tool for my creative and practical use in the tattoo industry, and after some discussion with other artists I was led to believe this might be more of what I’m after. I have some very particular ideas about how I could use this technology to my advantage and I’d love to be able to ask some one with even a rudimentary understanding of mixed reality programming to tell whether what I have in mind is something that fully exists, or is something I could maybe see become a reality through my own endeavors.

Hi all,

I'm in the market to buy a laptop that will suffice for Unity based MR development and possibly some CAD modeling. Right now, I'm using an older Lenovo Laptop with integrated graphics (it's a hand me down), so I don't have much to work with because everything takes 10 minutes or more to load. My budget is around $2k USD. I'd also like to add that I'll be majoring in EE so if the laptop can be used for that as well that would be awesome.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate them.

Hi everyone,

I’m a cybersecurity researcher at UCLA, currently investigating privacy concerns in the realm of mixed reality (MR) applications. As MR apps increasingly blend our physical and digital environments, they offer incredible new experiences but also bring unique privacy challenges.

I’m eager to hear from those of you who use MR apps: What do you believe are the biggest privacy risks when using these apps? Whether it’s concerns about data collection, location tracking, potential misuse of personal information, or any other issues, your insights would be incredibly valuable to our research.

Your feedback will help us better understand the potential risks and consider ways to address them in the future.

Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts!

For those of you that have been looking for the opportunity to develop that application/idea you’ve been thinking about, Meta is accepting proposals for MR applications in the Lifestyles (Interests) categories. Listed Lifestyle - Interests categories: 

• Included: Arts & Crafts, Music (and music creation), Fashion, Shopping, Cooking/Food, Reading, Travel, Dating, Home DIY, Language Learning, and similar areas.
• Not Included: marketing activations, B2B apps targeting schools or professionals, video games, media consumption (like watching a movie or listening to music, fitness & wellness, or sports.

From the Lifestyle Interest's Blog Post; “Selected participants will receive grant funding across three paid milestones during the six-month program to prototype their concepts with small teams. In addition to grant funding, teams will receive mentorship and coaching from Meta, peer learning opportunities, and VC mentorship. Teams in countries where Meta Quest is supported are also eligible to receive up to three Meta Quest 3 dev kits. All dev teams will also keep full ownership of their IP, code, assets, design, and distribution rights.”

Depending on the question, I may be able to reply back on this forum. But if you may get an answer faster if you:

• Review the FAQ Page
• Read the Lifestyle Interest's Blog Post
• Email  lifestyleappaccelerator@meta.com 
• Or just throw caution to the wind and submit a proposal on the Meta Quest Lifestyle App Accelerator page

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, keep in mind the submission deadline is October 15,2024.  

We're also be hosting a couple of Webinars until the submission cut-off date to give folks a chance to ask questions. Here is the next Lifestyle App Accelerator Informational Webinar:
