Beta v0.31

Release Notes:

  1. New Feature: Added ability to adjust the XYZ position of the UI (move around the entire UI) by clicking and dragging an icon/button right next to the Pimax VR Experience banner. The UI canvas had to be slightly re-made to make this working, but it doesnt seem to brake any functionality with any other UI elements. Free movement is possible in X, Y and Z axis, working with both left and right controller (the active one that uses laser). The feature is currently NOT possible with hand-tracking yet, as its a little but more complicated, but Im working on it. In upcoming versions of VR Experience, the custom position will be saved in the user profile, but currently its not.

  2. Fix: Solved a bug where hand-tracking pointers were rendered behind drop-down menus. Now they are properly rendered on top of drop-down menus.

  3. Fix: Adjusted the hand-tracking click/scroll sensitivity, and should now make it slightly easier to click and scroll. Im currently working on adding sensitivity-sliders for personalized adjustments.

  4. Fix: Removed haptic-feedback (vibration) from controllers upon clicks and hovering over buttons/items when Hand-Tracking mode is active.

  5. Fix: Removed the non-working left hand popup which was accidentially visible in version Beta 0.30. This popup is no longer needed, as UI position movement now is made as described in point 1 above.
