Got the eye tracking reversed more or less back to the Pointer Control cursor, though I might have to stick a 1eur filter on it
I'm pretty sure I have it right bc it seems to recast the eyes to 0.25x the combined gaze's depth, so I can just cast back to 4x.

Getting places, I'm actually p happy with how the eyes and eyelids turned out but the rest still needs work

yo dawg I heard you like face tracking so I put face tracking in your face tracking so you can track while you track while you track

Quest 2 and the VIVE Ultimate trackers are kinda the worst case scenario, one stereo pair on Quest 2 but otherwise cameras are pointing away from each other. So Frame being similar to Q2 but with distances closed makes me think they ~might have compensated for stereo overlap

GXR has 4 very obvious stereo pairs bc they don't really tilt in crazy directions, AVP has ~3 (maybe 5 counting the downward facing cams), Quest 3 has 3, but I don't think I've ever seen a quad cam setup that points so Upward like Frame

The OS in general feels way too flat and gaze highlights are a bit crude feeling. The accessibility options are way too sparse and the Relumino outline isn't really usable. I'd like to see a Visual Comfort option similar to visionOS to help with vergence-accommodation conflict.

They also don't do shoulder estimation for the aim pose, so the cursor moves when you tilt your wrist, and it's once again heavily filtered and sluggish. Casting a ray from the shoulder to the middle metacarpal would have avoided the need for as much filtering.

Other handtracking nits: It's both stiff and drops a lot, I'd expect responsive with drops or stiff with no drops, but it's the worst of both. It handles extended poses (poking a button on a wall) and occlusion really poorly.

The longer your fingers, the worse the depth error is. Typing would be a nightmare without the ghost hands because the error can be up to 1cm in some cases, especially the pinky. Despite my virtual fingers being shorter, they often hit before my actual finger would.

The eye tracking also seems to suffer from overfiltering compared to AVP, showing the cursor with Hover Actions it seems to snap around. Hover Actions also seems to be generally broken, completely disabling things like scrolling and controllers.

Even in the OS UI, fast angular movements on the controller when pointing and clicking are sluggish. The controller is basically easy-mode pose prediction w/ an IMU and it's weird that they're this bad.

The SLAM, hand, face, and controller tracking works great in the dark thanks to the IR illuminators on the front, I can basically only get it to kill tracking by fully covering the cameras. Big upgrade from QPro.

Also the prescription box is super fancy, fancier than Vision Pro. It even has magnets to hold the lenses down on the felt. Nice job Kodak.

I can't even take screenshots of what I see in ALVR bc the JPEG encoder on AVP does the same exact thing lmao. But just boot HL:A and go look at the door on the left, the textures aren't 4-bit that's just how much the encoders are screwing OLED
