We noticed that being in VR seals off from the real world. Til now we always needed to take off our VR headsets to check the phone which is a huge immersion breaker. So we decided to fight that and created Holoswitch. Our intention was to create an easy-to-use (esp. the connection process between the phone and the PC) app with a modern UX/UI. The app is available on Steam in Early Access and we're constantly developing it further. The first core feature "Notifications" is ready to use. It forwards smartphone notifications directly to SteamVR. See it in action here: https://youtu.be/HGmmAvrwuh8 Upcoming (approx. Q2) Early Access Features are: • Peephole - Protect your privacy Use your phone as a surveillance camera to see what happens around you • VR Capture Save VR clips and screenshots on your phone and share your favorite moments with friends All OpenVR compatible platforms such as HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index are supported. At the moment Holoswitch is only available for Android 6.0 (or higher). The iOS version will follow (no ETA yet). The full release is planned for next year and the intended features are: • Complete Phone Mirroring • (Video) calls directly to VR • Speech-to-Text • Keyboardless Typing • Live Streaming We hope that we can make a big contribution to the fight against FOMO in VR.
