Disable/Enable virtual windows with the proximity sensor.

Postby BlueThing » Mon Jan 16, 2017 4:02 pm

Yet Another Feature Idea:

Disable/Enable virtual windows with the proximity sensor.

why:
When a windows is used as a virtual window in the cockpit, it is not possible to interact with it on the normal 2D monitor
(see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3387)
but obviously when we don't have the Rift on the face, we don't need the virtual windows inside the cockpit...

When I think about it again, I believe we need in generall to define 2 modes of operations:

Mode 1 - Rift on face
Mode 2 - Rift off face

To switch between the two modes we could either use the proximity sensor or a bind key.

What should happens when switching between the modes?

Mode 1 - Rift on face:
* The simulator windows gets the focus (in case, while having the rift off, we were viewing other windows (e.g. browser))
* virutal windows are enabled
* headtracking is enabled.

Mode 2 - Rift off face:
* virtual windows are disabled (allows interaction with those windows on the 2D monitor)
* headtracking is disabled and view is centered (view can be control with arrows)


cheers
