    How to rotate image in VR Headset

    Hello Larry,

    Just to verify, are you referring to Mixed Reality headset? If it is a VR Headset you got from a different vendor, my suggestion is to reach out to the manufacturer's support online for further assistance with your VR headset.

    Let us know if you need anything else.

    "Mixed" Reality

    For anyone else finding this thread, the short answer I found in the FAQ is the cameras on MR headsets canNOT do "pass through" and thus the headsets cannot do AR (augmented reality) in imitation of what Hololens does.

    MR headsets are fundamentally like VR headsets, but with more motion freedom. A VR (virtual reality) headset tracks only a person's head movement -- meaning only movement by the neck. A MR headset tracks head movement AND body movement within a bounded
    "safety" area.

    While MR is really cool, it is a very unfortunate shortcoming that the headsets don't support using their tracking cameras to provide an augmented reality experience as an option. I'd fully expect to see MR headsets which support AR start appearing in a
    year or two.
