Soft body & simulation

Further improving soft body simulation by optimizing the model and configurations.

Distance constraints are split into internal and surface groups. Further refining the structure.
Automatically subdividing surface bones to further improve simulation result
Individual controls for center & edge locks
Collision between soft body and cloth pieces is now possible
Improved stability when there’s sudden movements. The simulation is now truly unbreakable. No matter how you torture it, it will still come back to a stable state.

Remote Control

The Android app has been updated with a remote control feature that allows it to connect to DanceXR running on a different device on your local network and you can then control everything remotely without accessing the UI. This can be useful when you want to change the scene or settings during recording or simply wants to enjoy it on a big screen from your couch.

Connect wirelessly through local network
Custom network protocol that allows super low latency connection
Access to (almost) all menus and options
Touchpad for rotation & motion control
The Android app now has a main menu screen instead of multiple icons in your launcher

We’ll release the Android update first and then the PC builds so that when you get your hands on the 2024.12 update you can immediately try it out.

This feature is released as a public beta, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on Discord and Github if there are any issue that you found.
