Gestures for character movement are next on the list as far as new gestures are concerned. Hadn’t thought about jumping yet, but this sounds actually great.
BTW: There is an ages old option on the head tracking page of the vorpX menu (HT Crouch/Jump) from a time before such witchcraft as motion controllers were added to VR that let’s you jump when you jump and duck when you duck. Doing that consequently in Mirror’s Edge would probably the best VR workout ever. I haven’t checked it for years though, so TBH I’m not sure whether it maybe is broken.
Edit : Still works in principle, but for whatever reason can only be configured before a DirectVR scan has been performed. Guess I’ll revisited that before the next update. Nothing you’d want to do all day, but still fun actually when it works.
Controllers have to be enabled when launching the game for the gesture tutorial to show up. If that doesn’t work for some reason, try to go back to the start room later from the vorpX menu. Maybe your controllers aren’t detected correctly directly on launch. With some luck they are shortly after.
Would be great if you could let me know whether that helps or not.
If the game doesn’t even launch in a room where you see a tutorial screen in front of you, the install failed. In that case please try to uninstall/reinstall.
Do you have some mod installed that removes the game’s intro screen? Normally there should be a screen before the menu that requires you to press the menu button to get to the main menu.
Either way I’ll check wether I can easily add a little delay until game input gets enabled when leaving the start environment. No promises, but unless I have to spend a whole day for it, that’s actually a good idea anyway.
That’s weird. Works for me. The controller type should either be ‘Auto’ or ‘Oculus Touch’ for Reverb G2, not ‘Windows Mixed Reality’. That’s somewhat confusing admittedly, guess I should find a better solution for that. The ‘WMR’ controller type is for WMR gen 1 controllers. The Reverb G2 controllers are more or less Oculus Touch replicas and work just fine as such.
Whether an actual gamepad is connected shouldn’t make a difference. Provided you have four hands you should even be able to use both at the same time. ;)

You’re welcome.

Thanks for the video. Curious what you had to remap. You shouldn’t have to, but maybe I overlooked something.
Just in case: motion controllers should be left at ‘Gamepad’ mode in the vorpX menu, which is essential for smooth steering. Changing the motion controllers to keyboard mouse makes steering just as awful as steering with an actual keyboard. With motion controllers in gamepad mode and the game’s gamepad bindings at default everything should just work.
Yep, there have been several tweaks to aiming in ADS mode. Prior switching to/from ADS was a bit weird when you were looking into another direction than you were walking in. That’s fixed now.
Caching a scan result between sessiions only works under certain circumstances. The scanner is able to detect whether caching a result makes sense or not and only caches results in games where it does make sense.
Might be a little bit annoying to do that every time you launch a game, but on the other hand the scanner is very hard to break by game updates. Most FOV fixes and other things that work in similar ways have to be redone after each game update, which is a mission impossible with games being updated as often as they are these days if you have dozens of games to maintain.
Sorry. I didn’t check OpenXR anymore after making a small change to the controller handling. The latest hotfix should resolve the issue.
Alternatively switching to SteamVR should do the trick, but that’s not ideal with a Reverb G2 for other reasons.
Thanks!
Maybe try another browser if possible or download with your phone via mobile. Recently someone couldn’t grab a quick hotfix because their browser/internet provider or whoever still had the prior version cached.
Please redownload, should be fixed now. A little last minute optimization that entirely nuked OpenXR motion controller support…
Thanks for the heads-up!

@ mr_spongeworthy:
The gestures work in cinema/immersive mode as well and will also come to other games, beginning with the next regular vorpX update in a few weeks.
@ steph:
The game allows so many ways to play it that I can’t really say how using gestures will affect you exactly. Dealing with the game’s spongy driving model becomes actually easier once you get used to it for example since you have more fine grained control than with a thumbstick. A slow paced stealthy game style also works great, super hectic run and gun style might lend itself better to button mashing. So it’s a bit up to you how using the gestures will affect difficulty.
The gestures work seamlessly on top of the regular motion controller gamepad emulation, so you can mix both at any time and in any form you like. If you encounter situations were you’d rather press buttons, you can simply do so.
Not yet. The Cyberpunk mod is a bit of a proving ground for the gesture system. It is designed as a general vorpX subsystem though and will make its way to other games too beginning with the next larger vorpX update 22.1.0 in a few weeks.
Gestures have to be selected and configured per game though, so expect a small number of games with gesture support initially. The library will grow over time.
