ALVR client for Nreal Light

Target server version

Target device

Controller

This app uses hand tracking and phone controller for controller input. This app converts hand tracking and phone controller input to Oculus Touch controller input.

Hand Tracking

Nreal Light's hand tracking is often falsely detected when five fingers cannot be identified. Therefore, the input is valid only when the hand is facing in a direction that makes it easy to identify the five fingers. Input is valid only when the hand is facing the angle between MinAnglePalmFacingFront and MaxAnglePalmFacingFront.

The app converts hand movements into controller input as follows:

Hand Controller
position position
orientation orientation
angle between index middle and palm [ThresholdAngleForTrigger..MaxAngleForTrigger] trigger value [0..1]
the angle exceeded ThresholdAngleForTrigger trigger touch
The angle has reached MaxAngleForTrigger trigger click
angle between middle middle and palm [ThresholdAngleForGrip..MaxAngleForGrip] grip value [0..1]
the angle exceeded ThresholdAngleForGrip grip touch
the angle has reached MaxAngleForGrip grip click
move up / down / left / right with the back of your hand facing forward [MinDistance2DInput..MaxDistance2DInput] thumbstick move up / down / left / right [0..1]
angle between thumb metacarpal and thumb top exceeded ThresholdAngleBendThumb thumbstick touch

When the Button Panel on the phone controller is on, the buttons appear in space when you turn the back of your hand to the front.

Phone Controller

The app converts the phone controller input to the controller input as follows:

Phone Controller Controller
Menu button touch menu click
System button touch system (Oculus button) click
left / right Thumb buttons touch left / right thumbstick click
left / right Trigger buttons touch left / right trigger click
left / right Grip buttons touch left / right grip click
A button touch A click
B button touch B click
X button touch X click
Y button touch Y click

Settings

Hand Rotation

You can adjust the orientation of the controller. The default is set to (90,90,0) according to the orientation of the hand. If it is difficult to point with the laser, set it to (0,0,0). The center of the slider is 0.

By turning on Cache Values, the current settings are saved in the cache and the default value is set to the current value. By turning off Cache Values, the cached values will be the current values.

Gear Icon Button

You can open the setting dialog from the gear icon. If you rewrite the value of the text field and press the submit button, the setting will be changed. If there is a problem with the input content, the content of the problem will be displayed in the Message line of the text field.

If you delete all the text fields and then press the submit button, it will be the default setting.

The following are the items that can be set.

Item Name Data Type Default Value Description
Message string A message displayed when there is a problem with the settings. There is no need to set a value.
SpaceScale float 0.5 The scale of virtual space with respect to real space.
EyeHeight float 0.66 The height of the HMD from the ground. The unit is meters.
Ipd float 0.068606 IPD (Inter Pupillary Distance). The unit is meters.
DiagonalFovAngle float 52 Diagonal viewing angle. The unit is degrees.
ZoomRatio float 1 FOV magnification. The larger the zoom, the narrower the field of view.
FovRatioInner float 45 The ratio of the inner of the FOV.
FovRatioOuter float 49 The ratio of the outer of the FOV.
FovRatioUpper float 50 The ratio of the upper of the FOV.
FovRatioLower float 48 The ratio of the lower of the FOV.
HandUpwardMovement float 0.1 Amount to adjust the position of the hand upward. The unit is meters.
HandForwardMovement float 0.1 Amount to adjust the position of the hand forward. The unit is meters.
MinAnglePalmFacingFront Vector3 (-30.0, -60.0, -100.0) The minimum value of the range in which the input is valid by identifying that the palm is facing the front. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
MaxAnglePalmFacingFront Vector3 (10.0, 10.0, 40.0) The maximum value of the range in which the input is valid by identifying that the palm is facing the front. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
ThresholdAnglePalmFacingBack float 60 Maximum value of rotation angle to identify the palm facing the back and enable input. If it is made smaller, the direction of the hand that allows input becomes stricter. The unit is degrees.
ThresholdYDistanceEnableTracking float 0.3 Disable input if head and hand heights are farther than this value. The unit is meters.
MinDistance2DInput float 0.02 Amount of hand movement to start thumbstick move. The unit is meters. If it is made smaller, even a small hand movement will be detected as a thumbstick move.
MaxDistance2DInput float 0.1 Amount of hand movement to end thumbstick move. The unit is meters. If you make it smaller, the amount of thumbstick move will increase even with a small hand movement.
ThresholdAngleBendThumb float 30 The angle at which the thumbstick touch is detected. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
MaxAngleForTrigger float 120 Finger angle at maximum Trigger value. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
ThresholdAngleForTrigger float 80 Finger angle at minimum Trigger value. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
MaxAngleForGrip float 120 Finger angle at maximum Grip value. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
ThresholdAngleForGrip float 80 Finger angle at minimum Grip value. The unit is degrees. See Hand Tracking.
SigmaWForAngle float 1 Kalman filter sigma V for adjusting angle values.
SigmaVForAngle float 10 Kalman filter sigma W for adjusting angle values. If W is increased, the sensor value will be treated as having a large error, and the sensor value will not be trusted.
SigmaWForPosition float 1E-05 Kalman filter sigma V for adjusting position values.
SigmaVForPosition float 0.0001 Kalman filter sigma W for adjusting position values. If W is increased, the sensor value will be treated as having a large error, and the sensor value will not be trusted.

Troubleshooting

The image does not move following the movement of the head

Close all running apps and restart Nreal Launcher.

Requirements for build

  • NRSDK 1.8.0
  • UniRx 7.1.0
    • dependency is written in Packages/manifest.json
  • ALVR Android library (Experimental)
    • ALVR in my repository
      • Change client version to 17.0.0
        • Edit package version in alvr/common/Cargo.toml
        • It may be possible to specify it at build time. (cargo #6583)
      • It can be used by publishing to local maven repository in advance.
        cd alvr/experiments/android-lib-no-ovr
        ./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
        
    • dependency is written in Assets/Plugins/Android/mainTemplate.gradle
    • Please do not contact the official ALVR for this library. Currently, I am adding it personally.
