Microsoft has stopped supporting WMR.

Please sign this petition to?open-source the software, so others can maintain it and prevent the perfectly good VR headsets becoming e-waste!

    That’s awesome! Well you won’t need to expect WMR updates for Windows anymore, firmware or otherwise. I didn’t know WMR worked with Monado. Does it do 6 degrees of freedom tracking?

      6dof works via basalt (and there’s hand tracking as well I believe) but right now the experience is very Janky. eg if I put the headset down it gets confused and starts drifting heavily, forcing a restart. It used to crash sometimes on some types of motion as well. My WMR controllers aren’t being detected and 6dofing properly even though they should be. But the bones are there.

      Here’s a video of Monado being used and doing the tracking.
