    Is it possible to disable time warp in GearVR? I want to be able to keep an image in front of the user.

    Thanks!

    Time warp is designed to smooth updates (making sure updating the latest image) and try to minimize any drop frame issues.

    You're asking to actually disable head turning. Other approach is to rotate it to match so it stays in from of user.
    Both of these are potentially problematic for users.

    There are 2 components to head turning, one is the head look at matrix being applied to the camera, and the second is the timewarp which will kick in to minimize frame drops. The matrix I can take care of, the timewarp I cannot and need to switch off.

    Yes I know this is potentially problematic, but regardless I just want to know if it can be disabled.

    Thanks!

    Timewarp is done directly in the Plugin. As far as I know, there is no way to disable it in either the Legacy Plugin or the Native VR integration.
