ALVR VS driver_kinectV1

I recently got a Gear VR (~15 USD) and I had my old S9 stored in the drawer. It was a better option for my usage (3D/regular movies and PC VR with Xbox gamepad) than buying a Quest 2 (~620 USD in my country). An incredible "cinema" experience and I can watch my movies before sleep without disturbing my wife. I am using the developer mode on the Gear APP and SKYBOX VR Video Player (you can get the apk, since the Oculus App no longer enables login to access the store).

I am using most for 3d movies with SKYBOX VR and regular movies with Netflix. For games, I installed Batman Arkham VR (with an Xbox gamepad) and it is working great with the old version of ALVR (resolution at 150% for better quality), I did not like it on the MS Flight Simulator but I will try it on Automobilista 2.

ALVR is a free/opensource altenative.

https://github.com/polygraphene/ALVR (open source remote desktop)

Make sure to use server version 2.3.1. Higher versions will not work.

NVIDIA GPU that supports NVENC (Supported GPUs) (or with an AMD GPU that supports AMF VCE) with the latest driver.

ALVR is a free and open source alternative to VD, they do the same thing. Though I have no personal experience with it. Until you get software update 28 for your oculus headset (which includes Oculus own virtual desktop functionality), ALVR is the only free option. VD costs I think 15 or 20 dollars.

What software and Kinect are you using? I had the same problem with Kinect2VR on the X360 kinect, I fixed it by using another program. It's way more responsive, precise and let's you add up to 20 trackers for every joint, but calibration and installation are a pain in the ass.

There's no readymade solution for using Kinect skeleton tracking for live avateering. so if you want to stream, you'll need to grab yourself a VR headset as well, then you can use something like https://github.com/SDraw/driver_kinectV1/ plugged into https://akira.works/VirtualMotionCapture-en/ or http://deatrathias.net/TW/

while for normal 6 point tracking you'd normally use https://k2vr.tech/ for best results, For 11 point tracking you'll need to use https://github.com/SDraw/driver_kinectV1 . It doesn't have skeleton flipping and smoothing but it does offer you 11 point tracking.
