We have a CloudXr client that works with Quest 1 and 2, but the only cxrControllerType option for Quest is cxrControllerType_OculusTouch, which results in the black Quest 1 controllers in SteamVR (instead of the white Quest 2 controllers).
Will more models of the touch controllers be supported as cxrControllerTypes in later version of CloudXR? Is there a potential workaround for showing the white touch controllers in SteamVR in the meantime?
@GJones-NVIDIA-XR-Team Are you able to provide some details on my question regarding additional cxrControllerTypes?
There are plans to overhaul the controller interfaces in a future release. but at the moment there’s a limited set of controllers we map to on the server, and when we brought up quest 2 I guess we had no immediate need to expand it to be a distinct controller.
One change we’re looking at is splitting out the visual from the functional, which would suit this case well.
But this is all still in planning, I have no ETA at this time.
(And unfortunately I don’t have any workaround to show the white touch controllers… Well… aside from messing with files on the steamvr server so that touch 1 controllers have the touch 2 graphics – that might work, if you don’t care about quest 1…)
It’s great to hear that you’re using CloudXR with your Oculus Quest and exploring all the amazing VR experiences. As for your question, it’s possible that more models of touch controllers will be supported in future versions of CloudXR, but it’s best to check with their support team to confirm. In the meantime, one workaround could be to manually map the white Quest 2 controllers to the black Quest 1 controller profile within SteamVR. This can be a bit of a hassle, but it should allow you to use the white controllers with CloudXR.
