AR/XR and Falcon BMS is actually a usable feature.

I gave Reality Mixer on Steam a try and find that it works pretty well. Although the app only works with SteamVR ATM, there’s no reason not to take advantage of it in it’s current state. The opacity to overlay with current physical pits and the ability to toggle makes this a decent solution. (Short term anyway)
I don’t have a place to post a pic of my pit, so I’ll update the vid at a later date. The ICP looking thingy in the middle is an X-Keys Pro HID device programmed for key stroke input. Plus 4 GoFlight modules that allow for key input.

Hi @Puckertoe
AR is coming in the following 3/4 weeks with U4 update!
You can check some AR videos in the internet of people already using it.
For example =>
AFAIK there will be a button for fast switching between real and rendered cockpit

@oleuzop hi will there be a choice to create a box to passthrough things written on your table instead of the whole cockpit with panel? I could imagine you can place the box on the knee while leaving other panels in virtual world.
Like this one

@gabrielwong1991 You can already do that in VR itself when you use a sketching tablet from e.g. Huion and OpenKneeboard.
If you want to use MR for the kneeboard there will sure be ways to modify the passthrough model to your liking, but your HMD should have sufficient cameras off course, a Pico4 for example has coloured passthrough, but reading your own notes with it would be very hard to not possible. -
@Korbi by what I mean is you can create a box, be able to resize and move around the box like comms menu and that box is the passthrough area. (Basically a box filled with pink color?)
I have tried openkneeboard, first you need drawing tablet and second if you combine with VR, once it is opened, it reduces frame rate so it is very choppy when opened.
It seems like the current MR implementation is only suited for real full cockpit built only.
Yes I have pico 4 and the camera isn’t bad at all

AFAIK yes you will be able to modify the pink area, but not as easy as drag and drop and there will be certain preset models available from the beginning.
