Smoothed Spectator on desktop

Any idea if theres a way to add stabilization to the display POV on a deskop? As with how the camera tool is stabilized but with your pov?

I thought one of the modes actually did that? I don't have access to PC VR at the moment to check. Don't you just use the spectator cam and set the mode to SlowFollow? It might be named differently in the UI.

ok i cant see slow follow its just pov or gfigure 8 etc? Is this a feature in a specific build?\

Does pov mode give you a smoothing slider?

No i dont think so. Neither on the camera tool or on just the desktop

I'm back in the office now so I can actually check. So - the first mode for the Spectator Camera is labelled "Head Camera" and this is a smoothed version of your POV. It's not documented but E and R seem to be mapped to decrease and increase the amount of smoothing. Ah - only in debug builds:
if (Debug.isDebugBuild && Config.IsExperimental)
if (Debug.isDebugBuild && Config.IsExperimental)
which is handy because "E" is also mapped to "Export"! It would be nice to expose this setting in the UI somewhere... 🤔

Would i be able to get my hands on a Debug build? To test the smoothing?

The only difference is that you can increase the smoothing. The smoothing feature works on all builds (just a preset amount) also - the keyboard settings don't work very well - they change extremely slowly and E clashes with Export it needs doing properly really

ok cool, keen to test if this makes it into any new builds

I'll see if I can do a custom build with these issues fixed over the weekend
