How can I add movement to my NVRPlayer ??

Hi, this asset is amazing so far. I would just like to know if it is possible to make my character move using the (touchpad/joystick) on the Vive and Rift controllers?

Worn-Out Suspension? Signs That May Aid-In Identification!

![](https://i.imgur.com/ot7oIl5.png) The suspension, among the engine or the transmission had been a fantastic addition to the car because it makes driving even on uneven surfaces incredibly smooth. However, it usually gets less attention. However, the suspension may be prone to deterioration, especially if there are frequent instances of short-braking and driving on poor roads (filled with potholes). It might be carrying additional weight in the boot or on top. Continuous exposure to such conditions will have an adverse effect on a car's suspension. However, the suspension system in a car will eventually wear out even if it isn't frequently subjected to such circumstances. There are ways to prevent and learn about a worn suspension, but driving with one is still a serious threat. Here is a list of some symptoms that indicate a problematic suspension that may require repair. **Is your car drifting to one side?** ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*K1KtXajZzC1jWvu5kw9NEg.png) Though a drifting car is not necessarily a sign of suspension issues, it might be a sign of misaligned wheels, bad steering, or even tyres. However, it requires a thorough inspection to identify the cause. But it is equally dangerous to drive a car that is not under your control. Eliminate all the possibilities, and then work your way towards wherever the repair is due. A low pressure tyre might be a less severe problem. However, an underinflated tyre is visible to the naked eye. Besides, you can consult with a mechanic to get the best opinion. Next, the wheel alignment comes into play, as misaligned wheels always pull a vehicle to one side of the road while driving straight. Wheel alignment does not only get a vehicle drifted to one side, but it is also a major reason behind premature wear and tear of tyres. Get it checked or even a wheel alignment at the workshop of Service My Car. Service My Car not only provides wheel alignment services but also provides car services like car battery replacement, car tinting, car oil change, car ac repair, car detailing services etc. Wondering, how to find the nearest car garage to get the oil change services? Open google type [oil change near me](https://servicemycar.com/uk/services/car-oil-change-warrington) and you will find service my car on the top to get the best oil change services in the town. If there is no issues such as improper tyre pressure or wheel misalignment, now look for the suspension problems. Your vehicle has developed damage to shock absorber or it might be a broken tie rod, control arm, etc. You might feel your car pulling to one side as you round a corner, as if it might flip over. These might be signs of suspension failure. Get your vehicle to a trusted workshop such as service My Car for a suspension repair. **Is it your car nose-diving?** ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*naFF9X1iSnIYeSOXHwNC7w.png) A car should typically be able to handle hard braking without much difficulty, especially if the suspension is in good shape. Additionally, nose-diving, when applying sudden brakes is a sign that your vehicle's suspension needs immediate repair. The weight of the vehicle shifts to the front as a result of motion, but this weight transfer should be normal under usual circumstances (when shock absorbers and struts are in good condition), but it may appear as your car is nose-diving. When you attempt to accelerate the car, reverse happens when you unexpectedly feel like you are completely leaned back. Besides, you can notice a suspension issue even when your car is static, for example, resting in a garage. It usually sits low on the side where a shock absorber or strut is damaged. Additionally, a car that makes a loud noise (especially clunking) every time it crosses a bump or takes a turn has developed a bad suspension. A weak or worn spring is broken entirely or cannot support the car's weight properly. However, ignorance will definitely lead to more damage and even catastrophic events down the road. Service My Car helps you manage your car properly.' **Is your car throwing challenge while driving?** ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*z4V0fIwXA-9U-sZZwBilpQ.png) However, if your suspension is bad, you might find handling it difficult. But a car's steering problems could also cause a distraction while it's moving. However, steering and suspension share some sort of connection, and a difficulty in handling highlights an issue with either steering or suspension. A vehicle is out of balance due to worn suspension or steering problems such as low power steering fluid, damaged control arm bushings, etc. Additionally, you might hear some squealing or whining. Have a service centre visit with your vehicle so they can identify the issue. **Oil cover around the shock absorbers** ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*rAgDcwJQ_rIW5bwo8ZiKZw.png) The shocks and struts may start to leak once they sustain some sort of damage. It is quite possible that the fluid is leaking if they appear oily or greasy, which makes it impossible for them to work properly. Get your vehicle to Service My Car for a quick check-up. **Opt for a bounce test** ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:828/format:webp/1*DeZZ1AM7UmpfxJTG5TidiQ.png) You can take a suspension test to determine whether your suspension has any issues. It requires you to get out of the car and lean down on the hood with all your force. Try to push a few times and initiate some bounce. Once it starts to bounce, just get away and look out for a result. If it bounces more than a couple of times, you need to get your car‘s suspension checked immediately. Service My Car provides car maintenance to keep your vehicle running perfectly on the road. However, you just need to book a car service or order a car repair quote on our website or app.

Oculus Avatar SDK Integration?

Hey guys! fantastic "drag-and-drop" styled development for VR! This has saved me so much time and taught me alot. My question is, do you plan on integrating the Avatar SDK into NewtonVR so we can use the players hands instead of controllers? Do you also have a paypal / donation system setup? I'd like to contribute. Thanks for you time.

NewtonVR on Oculus Quest

Hi, I downloaded NewtonVR and I'm not able to make it work wih Oculus Quest. I've tried everything, but there is no information about this anywhere. Has someone give me some light on how to make it work properly? Thanks!

Head and hands appear on the floor when playing the example scene

I am using NewtonVR with an Oculus CV1 with the hand controllers. Using just the example scene provided with the Unity package, when I run it the VR displays as if my head is at height 0 and my hands slightly below that. The hands track correctly and can interact with objects but I feel that the NVRPlayer is not being positioned correctly on initialization. If I drag the position of the NVRPlayer up so that the mesh robot representation is hovering and then run it, it appears correctly however that doesn't seem like it should be working like that. What step have I missed or is there something misconfigured?

Unity 5.5 and Unity VR

Hi Newton support, I am currently working with the unity 5.5 version but I cannot use newton VR with that version. The problem is that we need to stick with 5.5 to use the updated Flex system we are working with. Do you know when we are able to work with newton vr in the 5.5 version? Thanks for your time, I would like to hear from your soon. Kind regards, Dirk Lalleman

Vive Tracker?

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have had any luck getting the Vive tracker to work with Newton VR. I am developing a tennis simulator using Unity and I attached the tracker to a tennis racket, however I am having difficulty tracking it. I am using NewtonVR for my physics, and custom colliders for my Newton objects. I know NewtonVR does not have official Vive tracker support as of yet, but it doesn't seem that complicated to set up. If anyone has successfully been able to use a Vive tracker with NewtonVR in Unity, please let me know. Thanks!

Probably a daft question but...

Okay so I had a steamVR teleport system set up, which allowed me to control where people could teleport to. This now doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to achieve the same with Newton (I'm using Newton inside VRTK).

Customize Hands

Please make a tutorial on how to correctly override hands. It's easy enough to put hand models into the Transform (Game Object) slot, but how does one make custom hands grip, point, open, etc... It would be great to see a full, comprehensive tutorial on overriding customized hands. Thanks! Great product btw.
