Occulus wish - virtual keyboard in game
« on: December 06, 2017, 08:03:46 AM »
It would be great to have a virtual keyboard button.

It would bring up the text buffer and keyboard and you would point your view at the keys and use a button on your joystick to select letters, numbers.

As a squad leader, keyboard comms is the biggest function loss in Occulus.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

A easier way would be to use Voice Attack. It has a dictation feature when combined with a little creative use can take spoken words and put them into the text window. I have done it and it works with a few steps that would be a lot easier than typing on a virtual keyboard in VR.
