In Unreal 5.3 Epic removed the old SteamVR and Oculus plugins, marking end to an era. OpenXR is the future, they said. Functions like GetFingerCurlsAndSplays dissappeared. I've seen several forum posts of people asking how to animate Index controllers now and a few replies that

I got Quest Passthrough working with Unity OpenXR without *any* of Meta’s SDKs, thanks to the new compositor layer package from Unity 🎉 Cross-platform XR is getting easier!

Big shout out to Nick Klingensmith - ✊🏿🖤’s StereoKit for their C# implementation of XR_FB_passthrough 🙏

QuestLink動作環境で手っ取り早くOpenXRベースのUnityVRプロジェクトを作るの、現状UnityHubから選べる「VR template」が最適かも。
プロジェクト作成後、なんの追加設定も必要なくすぐにQuestLinkで実機動作できた。

Step 3 - I'm getting data from Meta's Open XR Body movement extensions (so no IK required). Unfortunately their OpenXR implementation doesn't include AI legs. Next I'll improve avatar retargeting and get it networked. #MetaQuest3 #indiedev

Guess who plans to write an OpenXR viewport for CyberEther!

Yannick Comte Michael Becker In case anyone else stumbles on thread- They explicitly state OpenXR won't work on Quest at this time here. Have to go MetaXR plugin. Was chasing a ghost.

That bastard took 3 days to figure out😭 For whatever reason it crashes OpenXR on Steam runtime when delta rotation is enabled🤣 Dunno whos fault is it exactly, maybe Ill investigate at some point when I'm less tired #UnrealEngine5

I’m interested how Apple eye select and pinch are mapped to OpenXR

The latest StereoKit release v0.3.8 introduces a fantastic new feature – a Tool for displaying Ready Player Me avatars. 😎
StereoKit is an open-source mixed reality library for building HoloLens and VR apps with C# and OpenXR!

Received two rejections for both appeals.

Can’t waste time on sisyphus things, moving to SideQuest and Steam respectively. AVP next.
