Has anyone tried to use UMG with the oculus yet?

The resolution to the original issue is now to use 3D Widgets. UMG is projected directly on the camera in its 2D form, which is where the problem is occurring with having two camera “eyes”. After looking into solutions with making the 2D widget appear directly in the eyes, it was determined that the best solution is to use 3D widget that is attached to the camera, but placed slightly away. creates the illusion of the UI floating in from of your player’s eyes, just like a HUD. It turns out that putting anything directly in the eyes of your player is nauseating and gives them a “I have something stuck in my eye” effect, which can cause strain that is painful.

I had nice UI experience showing textures in the classic HUD, is the same pourpose than widget viewport, a 2D overlay. Of course in VR the best way is showing actors in the scene, but for some project a simple data in UI could be enough or valid. So I can’t undestand why unreal users and developers are negative in that point, I’m not engineer but I suppose is possible to check if HUD is active show the widget doubled or something like that. I hope unreal developers are working to get work, in some way.
