    Hey guys,

    I am using Unity 2017.1.0f3 and I have a problem with detecting when the Oculus Rift has been taken off even though it has a proximity sensor. I want this because I want to build a screensaver when the Oculus is not active.
    I've set the app to run in the background because if not the Oculus simply paused it.

    I was trying to use VRSettings.isDeviceActive, but it does not seem to work.

    Thank you in advance all.

    I have opened a new case for you here: https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/f/cases/1024312/

    Are you only targeting Oculus? If so, perhaps as a workaround you can find a function in the Oculus SDK that will solve your problem.

    Yes, only Oculus. I did find a solution using the Oculus plugin.
    Thanks for your reply.

    The problem was that I needed to solve this for 2017.1.0f3, and if I remember correctly the XR namespace appeared in 2017.3.0. I used the Oculus OVR plugin to get the functionality.

    Thanks for your help.
