Thank you for using VRHandsFrame!
Auto Translate, which is planned for the next update, is now available early in the beta branch.
Point the frame at some text, hold it still, and the translation appears right on top of it.
Unlike the existing translation capture, where you press the trigger and wait for the result, you can read signs, menus, and chat messages in front of you just by looking at them.
Please try it out before the official release and let us know what you think.
Auto Translate
- Auto Translate (default ON)
Hold the frame still over text in Translation mode and it automatically recognizes and translates the text, showing the translation right on top of it.
While text is being tracked, the frame is held steady against hand shake, and the translation's background and text colors are matched to the original.
Press the mode change trigger briefly to read the next piece of text, or press the capture trigger while the translation is shown to keep it as a bookmark.
The settings are grouped under "Auto Translate" in the Translation tab.
- When to Run (In Translation Mode / Always, default: In Translation Mode) Set it to Always to see translations while staying in Photo or 2D Code mode.
- Hold-Still Duration (default 0.6 s) How long the frame must be held still before reading starts. This also applies to the automatic 2D code scan.
- Stabilization (default ON) Holds the frame steady against hand shake while text is being tracked.
- Estimate Original Colors (default ON) Matches the translation's background and text colors to the original.
- Rescan Method (Trigger / Distance, default: Trigger) Trigger moves on to the next target with a short press of the mode change trigger. Distance moves on when you move a hand farther than the Rescan Distance (default 5 cm).
Other
- Show the Frame / Frame Opacity (General tab) Fade or hide the frame image that appears with the pose so you can stay immersed.
- The automatic 2D code scan now reads a code after the frame is held still over it
- Fixed other minor issues
