Beta v0.27

Release Notes:

  1. HUGE UPDATE: UI Interaction with VR controllers almost completely re-written and all bugs and issues should be 99.9% fixed:
  • No more scrolling glitches or bugs when dragging pages/menus
  • Scrolling among game lists (gallery/list view) now works as expected and more “natural”
  • Scrolling inside drop-down menus now fully working (not only with scrollbars, but also by dragging with pointer)
  • Dragging game thumbnails or items doesnt result in accidentially clicking into game page (made my own new script with proper algorithms that determinates if a click should be made, or if user is scrolling/dragging only)
  • Dragging scrollbars doesnt jump around and behave glitchy anymore when pointer leaves the scrollbar
  • Clicking and dragging empty space on any page behaves normally, and scrolling by dragging empty space works properly
  • Scrolling speed corrected and now faster (will soon add an option for scroll speed adjustment).
  • If clicking an object/button, holding and dragging away and then releasing the trigger will now NOT result in improper click or abnormal behaviour
  • New UI interaction should now be easier to implement with upcoming hand-tracking+mouse interaction that Im already working on!

  1. Adjusted the game thumbnail view, so when thumbnails are not being pressed or pointer-hover, they are more vivid and looks slightly better overall. Enlargement of thumbails upon pointer-hover is slightly increased now (a few pixels), which I think looks better.

  2. Fixed an ugly glitch with the virtual-keyboard (in Create New Offline Profile menu) when using the dark theme. Keys are now NOT turning blue anymore when pressed down/active.

  3. Minor general UI improvements and some small issues corrected along the way…

==============================
How to get started (IMPORTANT)

  1. Install the included PiTool version (file PiToolSetup_1.0.2.071.exe)
  2. Open PiTool, go to Settings → General and DISABLE/UNCHECK “Start Pimax VR Home”
  3. Go to C:\Program Files\Pimax\PVRHome\ and remove all content inside the folder.
  4. Copy all content from the \PVRHome folder provided in this RAR file, and paste it into C:\Program Files\Pimax\PVRHome\
  5. In PiTool, go to Settings → General and ENABLE/CHECK “Start Pimax VR Home”

Pimax VR Experience should now start in the background and inside your Pimax VR headset.

==========================
Check the Unity log file:

The log is created every time you exit the application.
So to be able to read the log, exit Pimax VR Experience first, by:

    or
  • Click on the Quit button (bottom bar) in the Pimax VR Experience

The log file is called:
Player.log
