Setup walkthroughs
Community research
This is a current, installable native HPL3/OpenXR conversion with per-eye stereo, tracked hands and a broad set of physical interactions, tested on Quest 3S. The author cautions that not every interaction or headset has passed physical testing and dual-mode support remains unverified.
Evidence checked: Current README, v1.0.9 installer release notes, hardware setup, exact tested executable hashes, interaction status and compatibility caveats reviewed; no open issues returned.
Known limitations
- Creator’s tested setup is Meta Quest 3S via Steam Link with RTX 5080; broad headset/runtime compatibility is not claimed.
- Physical interaction feature inventory is not a claim that every feature has passed headset testing.
- Dual-mode VR and flatscreen behavior is not fully tested.
- Some finger/tracker/eye-gaze features depend on device/runtime support; Quest Touch does not provide independent full finger tracking.
