Patch 1.1.6 - Oculus Touch and tutorial big update — Far Beyond: A space odyssey VR News

Dear community,

As a result of the many negative feedbacks we have received on Oculus Touch's support, we decided to add a feature that makes it possible to improve the grasping of distant objects on the ground to avoid losses of tracking.

This option is activated by default for all Touch users. You only have to look at the object and reach out for it with your hand in its direction. The object will then come to you as if by magic.

Vive users will be able to activate the option in the menus if they wish.

We want to remind Oculus Rift users that Far Beyond: A space odyssey is a roomscale game that requires at least a 1.5mx2m play area.
As stated in Oculus recommendations, for this type of experiment we advocate the use of a third camera in order to have the most enjoyable experience possible.

About the tutorial, we also added a system that will allow you to skip the interventions of the robot.
You can simply press the two triggers of your motion controllers to skip a sequence.

We hope that these two features will improve your gaming experience.
