I was complaining that my disabled ass couldn't play VR with my new Frame while lying in bed. I feared that I would have to wait for Valve to implement it in SteamVR. But my New Waifu was faster and made it a plugin that works perfectly.

Thought I'd share the link for the dozen other lazy/disabled/gooning Frame users.

The correct version here is "lying"

Yeah, this is why I ordered a Frame. So many incredible things can and will be done with it that will never happen on other devices, because they would lose control. There are already people working on hand tracking and spatial workstations.

What kind of hand tracking?

Like Apple Vision type hand tracking

Hmm, I'm not really familiar with apple vision besides just hearing about it before. Is it substantial?

Just to be clear, I'm pretty sure the Frame doesn't come with a waifu.

I mean you can control the interface with nothing but your hands, so yes, I'd say that's substantial, especially in conjunction with "spatial computing" where your hands are free to use a keyboard.

Take care to keep your headset very clean (free from dust, lint, hair etc - consider getting a lens cover and/or zippered case if Frame doesn't come with one).

If you lie back any gunk in it will fall right into your wide open eyes
