The latest updates from the Oculus Software, Integrations, and Docs teams are now live! This month's major updates include new additions to our Audio and Avatar SDKS as well as updates to our engine integrations.
For our latest Unreal integration release, we've added 4 new Blueprints functions including:
Enable Orientation Tracking: Enables or disables orientation tracking
Enable Position Tracking: Enables or disables positional tracking
Set Reorient HMD On Controller Recenter: Determines whether or not the HMD is recentered whenever the controller is recentered
Get GPU Frame Time: Returns the amount of time that the GPU spent rendering the most recent frame
Additionally, documentation for Guardian APIs is now available. The documentation has been revamped to include a completely new set of APIs, including: Get Guardian Dimensions, Get Guardian Points, Get Node Guardian Intersection, Get Play Area Transform, Get Point Guardian Intersection, Is Guardian Displayed, Set Guardian Visibility.
In the latest Audio SDK for DAW Mac, DAW Win, FMOD, Spatializer Native, and Spatializer Unity, we've added decoupling of early reflections and late reverb.
Early reflections have now been decoupled from late reverb. Previously, reverb could only be turned on if reflections were on. Now, you can use any possible combination of reflections and reverb. This allows for room modeling on lower-spec platforms (including Oculus Go) where much of the time spent in the modeling phase is in the early reflections. The reverb portion results in a more-or-less a fixed CPU hit, so turning that on and disabling early reflections can help to keep the CPU budget in check.
Wwise version support has been updated to the following:
Wwise 2015 support has been DEPRECATED.
Wwise 2016 support remains the same.
Wwise 2017.2 is now supported, in addition to Wwise 2017.1 (which was previously supported). Separate builds are provided for 2017.1 and 2017.2. If you are using Wwise 2017.x, you must match it with the correct build.
A new version of the OVR Metrics Tool has been released with our latest Mobile SDK.
