If it is at all possible (I expect it would take new firmware), I suggest increasing the tracking updates from 60Hz to at least 120Hz (200-240Hz is better). At 60Hz, it's simply too slow.

Tux0Topo

Hi Ivan!! The limit of 60hz is imposed by the speed of ultrasound. Reaching  4mt with ultrasound takes around 16 mili seconds... so don´t expect any update there...

iVRy

(not Ivan): The speed of sound says you would take 11ms for 4m (90Hz). But that's only part of the tracking (distance), position is done by IR-LED. I'm pretty sure that the distance can be interpolated at a higher frequency (as ultrasound is not very accurate anyway, I'd imagine it only is used as a 'sanity check' on the IR tracking).

Hi Guys,

Nolo Home should have Web PC version ( aweb version) on the Nolo Website like the Oculus Store ( www.oculus.com/experiences).

There we can login with our Nolo Home credentials :

1. We can browse Cardboard ( can purchase/ no Download) Game appears as purchased and availaible in our game library, when we open our nolo Home Mobile, Game purchased should appears in our library with a download button if we do not yet downloaded it on the phone)
2. We can browse Gear Vr ( same as cardboard process no download)
3. We can Browse Oculus Go ( can purchase and Download the game on the pc because for side loading the game you need a pc to transfert the apk to the Oculus Go, that avoid you 2 more steps : Download on smartphone -> Connect Smartphone to pc to extract APK !

Developer work on pc not on a smartphone, so the when they want to publish a game in Beta on the Nolo Platform they should be able to do it on pc -> Nolo Home Web version or pc version call it as you want.

And user that want to test beta game can receive invitation on they Nolo Home mobile app or by mail then will be added to Beta tester and can acces to Beta library and help developer to get feedback and improve they game.

That's some roof idea i get on my mind.

Regards.

> 5. Display firmware version of connected NOLO device in battery life status.

Is there any way (or will there be any way) to get the firmware version via the PC SDK?

admin

@iVRy We will send you an updated SDK today. 

iVRy

@admin Thanks, but that SDK is the one I already have, and does not provide any way to get the firmware version.
