WebXRChief It looks like you or someone on your team made some improvements to the pop-up issue (where the play/stop UI constantly shows as you move your hand). Thanks so much for that! It's definitely WAY better
However, I'm still having some issues with it popping up when I'm not going anything gesture wise. For instance as I move my hand, it will suddenly show a virtual hand and a ray coming out of the thumb of the virtual hand and the UI will pop up. In short, some movements are still causing it to pop up even without doing the pinch motion. I don't know if there is a sensitivity setting perhaps that can be toned way down. I think it may be an issue with the Galaxy XR falsely detecting a pinch -- I don't know.
Please, please, please add a way to move the play controls (up/down/left/right) and have them stay there. As well as the ability to move the actual hub UI (list of videos) up or down (and have it stay there). It's way too awkward trying to use the play controls in a prone position because they are so low on your field of you and you have to kind of lean up and point down (which there is little room to do because you are prone). You can sort of trick the hub UI to start in a higher position if you look up before entering, but if you use the gesture on the side of the headset to recenter the video, the hub is also re-centered when you exit back out to it from a video. Or, maybe the hub always re-centers after playing a video -- I don't remember, but I can't get it to stay in a higher position basically.
Another issue I have a lot is (pretty much constantly): it thinks I'm pinching to click a video as I move my hand over the list of videos. My thumb and pointer finger are not close together and I'm just moving my hand from one corner of the screen to the other (over the list of videos) and it will randomly start one of the videos. I have no idea what's triggering it. It's like a battle to get it to not play videos I'm not clicking on.
I notice a similar issue when moving my hand over the brightness and contrast settings. It will just lock on to one of them and the slider starts moving. As I mentioned before, I think these should be controlled with larger incremental button clicks. The hover and click is too difficult to get precise like you need for the best settings -- further complicated by the issue where it starts dragging the bar after you click onto it (sometimes but not others).
I prefer just having a 1 to 100 setting like in Deo VR and then perhaps the buttons on the end could increment by 1 if you don't want to click into the bar itself, but there needs to be enough room where it doesn't think you are clicking on the bar instead of the end button (which happens constantly). I would add some space and make the end buttons bigger perhaps?
Sorry, if this sounds convoluted. I'm just hoping the UI can get to a more usable state with the Galaxy XR, as right now it's very stressful to the point where it deters me from even trying to use it.
If I could just have two wishes it would be to be able to move the hub UI and pop-up players controls to anywhere I want and also to have the controls not falsely detect a click/gesture. Thanks for all the hard work!
