    Hello,

    How can the offset between the Camera Control Object and the subordinate Active Cam be eliminated in VR so that both objects have the same X and Y coordinates again?
    The Z coordinate should remain unchanged.

    I want to jump from one point to another in a scene using the setPosition method on the Camera Control Object.
    However, if you have previously moved around with the headset, there is an offset between the Active Cam (headset) and the Camera Control Object.

    Or am I misunderstanding something again (as usual ;-) )?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi,

    Camera Control Object is the offset itself, however it does not mean the VR headset can’t move beyond its initial coordinates. You might need to create some “virtual bounding” to prevent that from happening.

    P.S. I guess you’re already our customer, however we can’t find your email in our license registry. Please contact us so that we can update your forum account. :mail:

    Hi Alexander

    I sent you my license details via contact form.

    Considering my question, if I trace the position data of the active camera, if I move with the head set lets say in y-direction the offset increases.
    If I would like to place the position on a certain point, the offset remains.
    What do you mean by a virtual boundary?

    Thanks Tom

    Thanks!

    Basically, the offset between the camera and the control object should stay as low as possible. You could parent some (semi-transparent) object to the control point and show it when offset is too large.
