Thank you for the ideas Daniel!
In addition to muting it when dots are hidden, we're also halving its loudness. Hopefully that will be much less intrusive.
We can try to add more frame styles you may like including postcards. You can choose camera angles now that do not feature the avatar, and we position them to minimize distortion.
We're finding that our standalone mode works well with ellipticals and also rowers in the same way as Holofit. Our final avatar and vehicle are quite different from that concept video, and it doesn't have those lighting circles. It works in 1st and 3rd person views. Hope you like it, it'll be in our release hopefully tomorrow!
Yes FTMS can support other devices, but it basically has a different API for each so I need to have each type of device to make sure it works. The standup mode with its head and hands motion tracking can work on those devices without FTMS, but it would be nice to add resistance control support to them like I'm now doing for FTMS bikes.
We have a 2D map in our roadmap soon, and will be using it to find rides and show where you are. If you've ridden a ride we may allow you to skip forward, but completing rides for the first time without skipping is an important accomplishment for people.
Quote:Please mute or slower of intensity of yellow coin catch. I hate this and must be tortured by this sound every one km in VZ Explorer. I use this software for relaxation, not for be angry from this really unnecessary gaming thing. Could you just turn of this sound and make for example yellow blinking the credit score number for 5 secs? Suggested switching off the appearing white balls direction signs on the road is not the right decision for avoid this awful sound (I like the hear chainsaw bike riding sound in my music stream with blue-tooth additional headphones, which is cover the Oculus Quest headphones), so the coin sound is very noisy in my volume setting) , because I'm using this to avoid motion sickness.

Quote:Next thing could be also great. What about improve the photoshooting setting (for example in National Geographic VR game in Quest could be the great inspiration; look on this video on 9:28 time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh0h42GPqb4&t=934s)? I would be nice to have option use for example triple click on B-button to have fixed showing Google Street 360 image without need have still finger on the B-button and take clean photos of landscape without avatar showing or VZ awful watermark frame? I would be great to have option use some universal templates to built nice travel postcard and could send it to someone to email or share it on social networks (for example the Czech Post office have this Post ecard option: https://translate.google.cz/translate?hl...line.cz%2F).

Quote:For planning update with ability use VZ Explorer without the bike device it would be fine to be inspired by Holofit VR Quest app - they have amazing running simulation without any disturbing graphic effects (In your screen shot I do not like the lighting circle around running avatar body; look on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPfnvd3rYW0). I personally wanna have first person running view, if I will be running in some amazing landscape scenery. I have ordinary stepper Domyos (https://www.decathlon.cz/stepper-ms500-c...30134.html) and this working in Holofit app great as tool for better running simulation in my room - it scanning greate the movements of Oculus controllers handle in my hands.

Quote:You can also built the compatibility for FTMS fitness devices or simulation rowing movements. A lot of world customers (or fitness centers) is waiting for it and they could also buy your product. I have for example rowing machine Domyos 500 and it is working ok in Holofit VR, but it would be nice to use it in Google Street landscapes in VZ Exploer. You can built some avatar kvazi machine like is in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouD0D0w8T3E

Quote:The small map (like have it the Wonder Oculus app, would be really great to have ability to jump some not so nice part of bike journey (for example long tunnels in mountains, which are so terrible to watch...) or just jump some road glitches, which are pretty much common in Auto-Steer option.
