Epic's low priority on GearVR and VR in general makes me sad

Hey Sam, this is something you can clarify by just taking a close look at the device what the dial does. It just moves the display further away/closer and thus just changes the focal point. The lenses are completly fixed and dont change the distance to each other.

Also i am really interested in the MSAA patch too.

The Patch might not make it out soon. However you can do this your self by doing the following.

1. MSAA patch below. I’ve had issues with the patch and devices running Lollipop, but that’s been hit or miss. We’re still working on a real solution for this.
2. Virtual head model is on the short list, and should be simple enough to patch into 4.7. I’ll update this as soon as we get something in.
3. Yes, there’s a JNI threading issue that cropped up. I’m working on a fix as we speak.
4. This is a bit further down the list and I need to do a bit of investigation to see how involved gesture support will be. I’ll update once I have a better idea.

For a temporary hacked 2X MSAA, replace FramebufferTexture2D() in OpenGLES2.h with this:

	static FORCEINLINE void FramebufferTexture2D(GLenum Target, GLenum Attachment, GLenum TexTarget, GLuint Texture, GLint Level)
	{
		check(Attachment == GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT0 || Attachment == GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT);
#if 1
		static bool Init = false;
		static GLuint DepthBuffer;

		if (!SupportsMultisampledRenderToTexture())
		{
			glFramebufferTexture2D(Target, Attachment, TexTarget, Texture, Level);
		}
		else
		{
			if (Attachment == GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT)
			{
				if (!Init)
				{
					glGenRenderbuffers(1, &DepthBuffer);
					glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, DepthBuffer);
					glRenderbufferStorageMultisampleEXT(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 2, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24, 2048, 1024);
					glBindRenderbuffer(GL_RENDERBUFFER, 0);
					Init = true;
				}

				glFramebufferRenderbuffer(GL_FRAMEBUFFER, GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT, GL_RENDERBUFFER, DepthBuffer);
			}
			else
			{
				glFramebufferTexture2DMultisampleEXT(Target, Attachment, TexTarget, Texture, Level, 2);
			}
		}
#else
		glFramebufferTexture2D(Target, Attachment, TexTarget, Texture, Level);
#endif
		VERIFY_GL(FramebufferTexture_2D)
	}
