For some reasons obscure to this employee, Oculus started the production of the Rift CV1 without removing all this special tracking hardware. Since the internal hardware mounts a modified version of Android, we’ll use “adb” to command it (as with the Vive Focus mirroring ). So be careful. That’s awesome!
