skypickle Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Microsoft’s 10000 person layoff was their vr division. After the hololens was a disappointment to the military (overheating in 30’?) MS took their toy and went home. so now they will play the chinese tactic, wait for someone else to fix it, reverse engineer the the device and clone it. Meanwhile WMR code will languish. (No game maker will prob continue to develop Wmr code) So openXR to the rescue. And there are three ways dcs can talk to headsets 1) steamVR (aka openVR- please can we killthat word as it is not open) for headsets that use steamvr 2) open composite 3) open which one does simply double clicking on the dcs executable use? what are the modified shortcuts for using 1,2, or 3? what are frametimes/fps for these three choices on an amd/intel system and or nvidia/amd gpu? 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal

Rocky49 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 I have been on this forum since 2007 and have seen all the drama many times. When VR came around I jumped in with both feet and bought an Oculus rift, then it's successor. Now have a G2. I did not join in the early adoption of Open VR with DCS as I felt it was too many steps to get just a marginal increase. I did ask DCS on this forum to please make it possible to use this Open VR natively. It seems they have obliged. I am sure that there will lots more drama before things settle down.

mbucchia Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) I do not know the breakdown (and I don't think anyone but the executives do, and certainly not those "bloggers" writing articles about it while their normal coverage and "expertise" is to report that the new Call of Duty was released, or they have just benchmarked the new 4090...). I have heard directly from people across the company being let go, in various disciplines, many of them having nothing to do with MR. I know directly many people working in MR that have not been impacted (including myself). You can yourself go on LinkedIn to find messages from employees themselves to corroborate. (EDIT: For clarity MR = Mixed Reality, which is the actual name of the division). Edited January 29, 2023 by mbucchia I wasn't banned, but this account is mostly inactive and not monitored.
