Any XR-3 or XR-4 users here?

[GPatricks]

Received my XR-3 last week and getting it set up. Having a bit of issue with Masking for MR. I use a couple MFDs for the F-16 and also with paper guides I make up (pic is for DCS BF-109) to give me a ton of extra buttons. The issue is I want to be able to turn the mask on/off while flying and the Varjo Labtools app must be the program in-focus in windows for the masking on/off hot key to work. Wondering if i'm missing something simple or if it's just not possible. Maybe creating a chroma key setup behind these screens would work? Any hints would be appreciated!

 

Edit :Spoiler, it has been solved, keep reading...

Problem solved.. Voice Attack allows you to send a command to a specific app, bringing it into focus for the keystroke. The trick was to return focus to the sim, which required a separate command ("Focus Back" is and Alt-Tab) be invoked... works perfectly.

Here, also new with XR3. Not much testet yet, mask is my project for winter. At the moment i work on a SFX motion rig.

Thx for the suggest with Voice Attack. Think, a StreamDeck command  would also a Solution.

I would assume that any command that can be directed straight to Varjo LabTools will work, good luck!

Have to say the idea came from a guy going by "Morphine us" on the Varjo Discord, my bad for not giving him the credit as I never would have thought to try Voice Attack without him...

I had tried the VarjoLabtools, it is very difficult to adjust the mask i added by using the anchor param. can you share how to quick adjust it?

Wish I could, every time I use it (not often) I have to re-learn it, and the whole process using the Vive controller is clunky at best..
