AetherVR 2025-12-28

Features

• Added some support for macOS and Metal
• Releases now include Linux (x86-64) and macOS (arm64) builds
• AetherVR now uses SDL3 instead of OpenCV as the camera capture backend, which means that we can now enumerate all connected cameras with their names and resolutions
• Added a "smooth" hand tracking mode, which interpolates the tracking results from multiple frames
• Added a parameter for offsetting the Z position of the controllers
• The configuration is now saved between sessions

Fixes

• Fixed tracking problems when adding too much rotation to a controller
• Gestures are now tracked much more reliably when the hand is close to the camera or far away
• Fixed controller button presses not being registered in some applications
• An error message is now displayed if downloading MediaPipe ML models fails
• The application no longer crashes when no camera is connected
