@XPlaneOfficial @OpenXR Thank you 🙏

@cyannick @OpenXR Hi Yannick, Could you contact us with the following ben@x-plane.com, dellanie@x-plane.com and chris@x-plane.com Thank you!

Hey @XPlaneOfficial I'm the author of an upcoming @OpenXR runtime for MacOS that brings PCVR on Mac. It works today with Quest. I'll release the runtime on github. I tried to force OpenXR on MacOS but it doesn't work, I suspect that it's because OpenXR is not linked with the executable and because the checkbox is disabled. I can give you an early access to the openXR runtime if you want.

F-JGBA final runway 35, full stop

@MoonWalkerLD I’ll contact @XPlaneOfficial devs to ask them to enable @OpenXR on MacOS builds now that it works 💪

@cyannick Multi-monitor flight sims are the best! Your M5 handles those graphics beautifully. Hope you sort the OpenXR issue soon 🤩

This is how performs a MacBook Air M5 with the X-Plane 12 simulator and two screens. Graphics between high and medium. It’s smooth and fast, unfortunately I can’t force the VR mode to test my OpenXR runtime.

Started to work on a (Swift/SwiftUI) compagnon app to tweak streaming parameters, install the runtime globally or use the dev one, etc.. GUI is pretty bad for now, I'll pimp it later, but I no longer need to edit a config file ;-) It's optional of course.

@migero_usausagi @unity @godotengine I'm not yet too familiar with @godotengine XR, but I guess there is already something for that. I need it to test it on godot ;-)

@cyannick @unity @godotengine hope it will be a template in godot

Hand tracking is now working with the OpenXR OSX Runtime in @unity (and @godotengine). I'll showcase a more complete demo than this procedural sky ;-) I really need to work on the latency now... When fixed, I'll release it on github. #pcvr #macos #openxr #unity #godot

@DennysKuhnert @unity @godotengine Thanks!!

@cyannick @unity @godotengine Very cool! 🙌

@EinarJohnson_XR Thanks for your support

Love seeing all of @cyannick’s amazing progress.

@erasmolbj @unity @godotengine It’s not yet perfect and latency is not great (but better every day). Don’t expect a 100% perfect integration tomorrow. But it’s coming.

@cyannick @unity @godotengine You're a GOD! I had to purchase a Windows Laptop only to develop for VR. You saved me a lot of money. How can I send to you some money?

@hqwsky @unity @godotengine Yes

@cyannick @unity @godotengine the feature of hand tracking is in openXR OSX runtime？

@TrujequeJair @unity @godotengine It's running natively in VR on MacOS, it doesn't exist at all for now

@cyannick @unity @godotengine This has already existed since 2022 in Godot

@xrdevrob @DennysKuhnert @unity @godotengine I hope so. I'll open source it in few days/weeks, if you want to do some PR you're welcome and it's LLM friendly ;-)

@cyannick @DennysKuhnert @unity @godotengine This will save devs so many hours, thanks for doing this! Been trying to build something like this as well but didn't get it to work yet :)

@vr_rames Ils ont raté le try fast, fail fast. C'est dommage car cet épisode Horizon aura vraiment fait mal à tous les développeurs.

Horizon worlds ne sera plus dispo sur Quest à partir du 15 juin !

@signalworldca Is quest link pcvr? It is, it’s exactly the same

@cyannick streaming is not native pcvr

This is it, native PCVR on MacOS! The OpenXR SDK can be compiled on MacOS, So I implemented a runtime and a streaming app. Godot supports OpenXR on MacOS so I use it to test my integration. Unity could work too and of course native C++. 1/x

@NathieVR Try fast, fail fast, oh wait...

Breaking: Meta Horizon Worlds will no longer be playable on Quest, shutting down this June.

@SkarredGhost Yes, I'm happy it's unlocked. I'm now enforcing all openxr validations to be sure it's OK for any implementation (I use Khronos' OpenXR comformance test for that).

@cyannick Amazing piece of news!

@FreyaHolmer Terrific, good job!

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything
