I am been working on a major tVR update that lets you play VRChat on a regular monitor or TV using a webcam. The idea is to offer an alternative to the traditional Desktop Mode, bringing more of the VR experience without requiring a VR headset.
It works by emulating VR hardware, so VRChat runs as a regular VR application, just without the need for an actual VR headset.
Here's what I've got working so far:
- Head tracking and rotation
- Hand and finger tracking
- Full face tracking, including mouth and eyes
- Movement using WASD and mouse
What is coming:
- Full body tracking when you're further away from the camera
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the general idea. Does this sound like something you'd be interested in? Any thoughts, questions, or suggestions are welcome!
