Other release contents

Improvements and bug fixes:

  • Added the capability to use hand tracking and hand occlusion in Varjo Workspace to interact with the Applications panel and Menu.
  • Added a “Render only VR when using OpenXR” setting in Varjo Base under System > Compatibility that allows rendering content exclusively in virtual reality mode when using OpenXR applications. (All headset models)
  • Added the eye camera view to the full screen mode in Varjo Base. (All headset models)
  • Improved Varjo System logs to include information from OpenXR runtime.
  • Improved the tracking stability of static Varjo Markers.
  • Fixed an issue where masks that were linked to the same anchor were not displayed correctly when uploaded to Varjo Base.

  • Fixed an issue where XR-3, VR-3, and Varjo Aero sometimes failed to initialize properly. 
  • Fixed an issue where resetting Varjo Base settings with the command-line interface did not reset all settings.

Developer tools and APIs:

  • Analytics window:
    • Improved foveated rendering visualization when running multiple applications.
  • OpenXR:
    • Fixed an issue where Varjo client libraries displayed unnecessary logs on standard output, causing disturbances of standard output from application.
    • Fixed an issue where the .../input/palm_ext/pose path for XR_EXT_palm_pose did not behave correctly when used with XR_EXT_hand_interaction, causing the palm pose to never become tracked or valid due to missing data from hand tracking.
    • Fixed an issue where OpenXR applications incorrectly handled quad layers placed in different spaces, causing layers to move inaccurately when multiple spaces were used.

Known issues: 

  • OpenXR: 
    • Varjo Base does not show a warning when using the Simulate option in the Analytics window that Varjo OpenXR runtime is not selected as the default runtime, which can cause unpredictable system behavior.
