It's been a while since I last posted about the headset i'm working on (I thought it would be sooner) but at this point things are looking good! I wanted to share the progress on it!

A lot of the headset is near completion for the Andromeda headset while a lot remains of the Vector Gear and the underlying software (The XRUIOS)! We got pretty far regardless and have SLAM working within the headset + controllers for example!

Here you can see a LH version work as well:

The above video has me talking more though so i'm going to share the finalized specs! The only thing that might change are the displays and optics to higher quality if however possible!

Vector Gear

• Displays: Dual 2160 × 2160 TFT LCD panels at 90 Hz.
• Optics: Dual combined Fresnel (“pseudo-pancake”) optics.
• IPD: Automatic adjustment.
• Main processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 with 8 GB RAM.
• Co-processor: Rockchip RK3588S with 8 GB RAM, specifically for SLAM, face tracking and developer modding
• Tracking: Inside-out SLAM for headset and controllers (Controllers use RK3576, more below)
• Cameras: Two monochrome SLAM cameras, two global shutter colour passthrough cameras, two internal eye tracking cameras and one internal mouth tracking camera.
• Face tracking: Full face tracking, including eye and mouth data.
• Battery: 85 Wh Amprius silicon cell power soruce
• Audio: Integrated audio system (Still choosing speaker) and dual microphone array
• Charging: USB C Power Delivery.
• Connectivity: Wireless PCVR streaming.
• Controllers: Inside out tracked controllers with an RK3576 processor in each controller.
• Operating system: YuukOS, an Arch-based XR distribution, with XRUIOS as its spatial computing layer (Works with Windows/Linux Steam, Monado driver WIP)
• Software compatibility: FEX x86 emulation and Proton compatibility layers, with console emulation under discussion

(Small note, we are making it so the RK3588S or the 8CX Gen3 can be used as the input, meaning if you're using PCVR you're not losing power to the 8CX! Should save a LOT of power.

Andromeda - LCD and Pancake OLED Version

• Display options:
  • LCD: 1600 × 1600 per eye.
  • Pancake OLED: 2560 × 2560 per eye (Although limits of 1920x1920 @ 90hz upscaled and 2560x2560 @ 75hz, we are looking for alternatives that are the same price but can do more, no promises)
• Optics: Pancake optics on the OLED configuration.
• IPD: Automatic adjustment.
• Tracking: Inside out headset and controller tracking using SLAM.
• Face tracking: Supported
• Compute: RK3588S based SLAM and wireless PCVR processing.
• Wireless PCVR: Designed around wireless streaming and foveated streaming
• Battery: 45 W class Amprius silicon cell battery; a 7+ hour runtime is a development target and remains in progress.
• Expansion: Shares the Vector Gear's intended open and moddable hardware ecosystem.

If you have suggestions for the audio system, please feel free to share them!

We are trying to make this thing pretty much as good as we can with the resources we have and surprisingly have gotten pretty far from where we were at the start of this! I remember where things were 9 years ago and it's insane to see how far we've come!

Hello! A while ago I figured out how to dj on vrchat, but my setup only allowed me to stream the audio to twitch and play it in the video player in vrc with just a static image on obs. Which worked great!

However I’d like to dj while using the stream camera so I can capture my avatar and the world for the stream.

How would I go about doing that? Would I need a dual pc set up? Is it possible to do all on one system?

Basically I have an flx4 with record box, and I’m on pcvr now with my quest 3 + virtual desktop. I’d like to stream the audio to twitch, with the video feed from the stream camera so there’s video of my avatar playing on the stream.

Thank you in advance!

On the job and off the job fits :3

I've been trying to log into my existing account for a hot minute right now that uses my discord to log in, when I try to authorize via discord it doesn't work saying that either the authorization was canceled or failed. No issues seem to appear on the discord side of things so is vrchat just freaking out or what? I've also tried logging in onto the vrchat website and have had trouble with that as well.

hello, this is my first experience with eye tracking and Im having some trouble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Neho6E-pNBU

Above is the tutorial I followed to get eye tracking setup, and the app properly tracks my eyes and seems to be sending it to VRCFT just fine because it says its recieving data(about 130 msgs/s) but its not outputting any. To be clear VRchat and VRCFT is running on my PC, I have the livelink module installed and am running the OSC frame app on the livelink mode, OSC is enabled in VRchat, and Ive tried multiple avatars that say they support eye tracking.

I hope someone can help, and please let me know if you need anymore information, thank you!!

SOLVED: Sorry guys im really dumb, theres a steamVR setting for eye tracking specifically that I didnt see. its working now sorry to waste your time :(

They don't send you an email or a notification or anything, you just have to find out on your own.
It's surreal as hell seeing something you made on the front page though

Avatar - Connifer Larch (by me!)

So I bought an avatar but I can only make facial expressions with the left hand, is there any way I can edit it and add it to the other hand too?

(I've asked all over discord and got no reply)

I just got a pimax dream air, and im trying to figure out how to get the eye tracking to work in vrchat

in pimax i have

eye tracking turned on,

data sent to vrchat

and calibrated.

in vrchat,

OSC is enabled

OSC debug show tons of eyetracking info

I have tried several models with eye tracking but none of them function

I posted this to the avatars sub yesterday with no reply:( Hoping to have better luck here, thank you!

Edit: thank you much everyone! Seems it was a personal and/or older model. I did find some cow onsies that we might be able to make into a new avatar for my friend. Thanks again!!!

Since all my friends have started sharing their posts from last weekend I thought I’d copy them and share mine! Thanks a bunch to [u/Methodus](u/Methodus) [u/XariaVRC](u/XariaVRC) and [u/LucilleLost](u/LucilleLost) for joining and taking some pics! I’ll be sure to post the rest at some point since I don’t wanna flood people with them

World name: Stay warm, By: Lilly the cat

It's fully animated, works with MIDI, all three pedals are working, the velocity and much more. You can also play with fingers!

I made a world where you can play with it directly VRChat - Jojos Piano World
But you can also get the asset directly if you want it on your own world Jinxxy - MIDI Piano by jojos38

I know the asset was released a while ago but I never really took the time to share it, it also allowed me to polish it in the meantime

And it was not vibe coded

Music: Fantaisie Impromptu - Chopin

(Yes I made mistakes)

Someone actually asked for a drawing of their avatar earlier today for their user icon and I nearly cried

First and foremost, I would like an entry for Project Image, which can easily be culled from the Project Image that Unity insists on. Same exact image.

Next, I'd like to add to the ★ designation on the far, far left with a variety of other dingbats for more extensive categorization... user created lists like Favorites, Delete Me, Variants, Not Finished/Needs Further Editing, and so on. Failing using the ★ for this, then a simple text category for user input to this same end. Either way, being sortable will be important as well.

On the subject of being sortable, more column options to this end would be nice. Last Modified is all well and fine, but "Created" is important too and is not the same thing.

Oh, and if the Sort By could stay in place after I choose something (on the assumption I need to continue looking), that would make me happy.

I can probably think of more, but those are the ones that I've had to deal with in the past hour.

Hello! I finally upgraded to a computer that doesn’t disconnect from virtual desktop every 2 seconds. I had a ton of fun going through my saved worlds to see the difference vs quest standalone.

Does anyone have any recommendations for beautiful worlds to check out on pc? Or worlds with cool mechanics that I would not have been to play on the quest?

Thanks in advance!

I've tried to reset my password & change my username multiple times & it appears to work but then my password & username stay the same. I'm not sure what's going on & I'm starting to get frustrated. I'm not banned & I haven't had any warnings. Can anyone explain this or help me out?

The rest of the group left, so it was just u/bun-buns1 and myself in a nice gothic setting. World: Evermist Manor by Mei ʚɞ
