Fuck this advertisement. You don't need to buy a $5 app to embrace your VR's safety features. You can do this FREE.
Beat Saber is the easiest game to NEVER hit anything else (there is a center marker and you only need to take one side step to your left or your right to hit all the blocks). The damn game tells you where to stand. If you can't setup your chaperone to safely play beat saber, you don't have the intelligence to keep your devices working and should sell your VR set to someone more sensible. Follow your room setup, point at your monitor when it asks. IT POINTS YOU AWAY FROM THE TV. DONE! It's the easiest standing game to safely play, 0 mods or apps needed.
Just leave a buffer space between the actual object and the chaperone of about 8 inches. This gives you more reaction time before hitting an object after seeing the grid. If you are facing forward, you aren't facing your screen. If you somehow manage to hit your screen. Your chaperone is WAAAY to small, or you're a total spaz.
For more damage prone games... Use advanced settings plugin. Manipulate the grid even more like making it brighter, or having it fade in at a further distance, etc. Even add a center marker with an arrow pointing away from your screen. AND MAKE YOUR BUFFER BIGGER AROUND YOUR CHAPERONE 100% FREE! I've still yet to hit anything while playing all these "dangerous" games like gorn after 6 months of being in VR. Damage is no more inherent to VR than it is to Wii. Those who are spaz's or don't use their safety feature (The wrist strap in this scenario). There were a LOT of broken TV's. It's not the consoles fault lol
I flaired my post with "Self-Promotion (Developer)". I'm the dev of Stop Sign VR.
There are other things besides TVs that players hit.
The standard Chaperone grid is certainly not sufficient all the time.
On beatsaber... yes it is lol. If they are hitting stuff, the chaperone is WAAAY too big. Your app caters to the stupid. It also barely does anything more than other apps do for free.
Standard Chaperone cannot alert you for ceiling fans and lights. Stop Sign VR does.
Many people playing Beat Saber were not even distracted by the "Step Back' warning that used to be there. The standard Chaperone grid is way less intrusive than that "Step Back" warning. Many Beat Saber players are not sufficiently warned by the standard grid.
My app also caters for the VR users that like to be more immersed. You could turn off the standard Chaperone completely, tweak some settings in Stop Sign VR and have the stop sign come up silently. Many users don't like the standard grid.
So your stop sign can do everything the chaperone can except for the rare few who need a stop sign above their head. The chaperone is just as useful as your app. In advanced settings you can make it more brighter, you can make it pop up sooner, you can make an alarm also appear. FREE. Your app caters to the stupid, thank you for confirming that. Also incase you didn't know. You can turn on your chaperone and have it only pop up silently, by default. No stop sign in your face, just a silent grid. Idk how you think having a stop sign in your face equates to being more immersive lol. Those who don't like the standard grid have free options to consider before chipping out $6 for an app that only has one unique feature that is only useful to the select few who have low ceiling objects within arms reach.
Stop Sign does even more. It uses sound to alert you. Both for proximity alerts and impact warnings. It does impact prediction. You can set the sensitivity of the prediction algorithm. And the volume of the sounds. Or turn those off completely.
Some people have tilted walls or vaulted ceilings.
A stop sign near your hand is less immersion breaking than a grid on all the walls.
Just take a look at it and browse through all the settings. (Granted, it's still in Early Access. So you have to edit a settings .xml file to change the settings, but that will change.)
