Notes:
- We can actually use a single Activity.java file for oculus/pico now
- We can unconditionally compile os_android.c on Android
- No need for including extra jars in build system
- Headset rendering is guaranteed synchronous now, no need to ref L
- Add an "android flavor" build setting to differentiate between oculus
and pico devices, since they both use OpenXR.
- Update the pico manifest to reflect their OpenXR sample
- Remove some OpenGL hacks that aren't necessary anymore
These functions read an unsigned 32 bit integer from the Lua stack
and error if the value is negative or too big. Currently converting
Lua numbers to integers will silently wrap or invoke undefined behavior
when they are outside of the acceptable range.
For projects that don't want the overhead of type/bounds checks, the
supercharge build option (LOVR_UNCHECKED) can now be used to skip all
type/bounds checks.
Start is mainly used for setting up graphics-related stuff, since it
was created to perform setup after the window/graphics module is
initialized. Since the display driver is the only one doing rendering,
it makes sense to only call start on the display driver.
...also fixes a bug where start is getting called twice.
- We need some headset initialization to happen upfront
- But we still want some delayed initialization for when graphics is ready
- Go back to headset initialization happening when module is required
- Add lovr.headset.start that can be used for post-graphics init
- The lovr.headset.renderTo callback can now be nil, causing an empty frame to be submitted to the compositor.
- lovr.mirror will still be called if lovr.draw is nil. This means the window will be (correctly?) cleared to the background color now if lovr.draw is nil.
This prevents runtimes from thinking the app is missing/unresponsive when lovr.draw is absent. To get the old behavior, just don't call lovr.headset.renderTo.
In boot.lua, it assumes that lovr.headset.init will assert if no driver
is available. This was previously only true on the first call to it,
since after it's initialized, it'll just return early and won't assert.
This will later crash since your lua code will now see a lovr.headset
being available, but calling anything in it will crash since
lovrHeadsetDisplayDriver is NULL
After this fix, initialized becomes false before boot sets up the
headset module again, so that the assertion fires correctly.
OpenXR basically has a hard requirement that a graphics API is available
before its session can be created. Currently the graphics module isn't
always around when headset initialization takes place. Polling the
graphics availability in update/renderTo has some consequences for calls
made to the headset module in lovr.load or during the first few frames.
So instead we're going to delay headset initialization to a special
function that is called after modules are required. It can also be
called manually if the window creation is delayed.
- Make the renderloop synchronous by hijacking the RAF to run on the
XRSession when active.
- Convert os_web to use emscripten's native HTML5 interface instead
of going through GLFW.
- Stop using preinitialized GL context -- lovrPlatformCreateWindow
now creates the context.
- GLES2/3 emulation is not necessary.
- Remove inline sessions. The VR simulator is used to render to the
Canvas instead. webxr_attach and webxr_detach are used to replace
replace the active headset driver with the webxr driver when an
immersive session starts.
- Add noop desktop_getSkeleton.
- lovr.headset.newModel accepts an optional options table as the
second argument. There is currently a single option named
'animated' that can be used to request an animatable model.
Currently it isn't clear if this should be a hint or not.
- lovr.headset.animate (name pending) can be called with a device
and a model (usually with an animated model from headset.newModel,
but this is not required). The function attempts to animate the
Model to match the pose of the device in an opaque driver-specific
way, and returns whether or not this was successful.
- OpenVR has models for controllers with a system called "components"
that can be used to animate the individual buttons. Now the OpenVR
headset driver implements the 'animate' function to make use of the
controller components, to easily load and render animated controllers.
Add entrypoints, headset backend code, fill in the Activity, and
add various special cases to account for the asynchronous render loop,
lack of sRGB support, and OpenGL state resets.
There are 4 new devices: beacon/1 through beacon/4. They represent
tracking reference like StemaVR base stations or Oculus cameras.
There are 4 because that's how many base stations you can have in
a single tracking setup.
Right now only OpenVR exposes poses for them.
Unlike lovr.timer.getTime, this is the predicted time at which the
current frame will be displayed. It can be used in place of
lovr.timer.getTime for smoother animations. It's unclear if this
could be used for a suitable replacement for dt though.
Currently nobody returns data for them, though headset drivers could
start to provide poses estimated from the head pose and IPD info.
This also makes it easier to integrate eye tracking later.
