Time Remaining on the Display Screen

Josh Schoeling

It would be nice if we could have the time remaining on the display screen, in a floating window, as well as in the headset.

Yeah, it should have been added a long time ago. It should be a simple fix and would be a great addition to improve our QoL.

100% this, one of the most requested things in our arcade is an on-screen time. We allow users to split their time. This is extremely annoying as our employees get hounded relentlessly to 'set a timer' or 'what time is it'.

I agree with Bluff City, if for some reason you don't want to do this yourself, give us some sort of API or text file output so we can do it ourselves.

My God this is so simple, why don’t we have this? Synthesis has this. It puts a simple timer window on the desktop that shows the remaining time and it’s resizable and always on top.

If you won’t do this, make it an api that outputs to a text file and I’ll make one of my own. This is stupid easy to make and is a no brainer.

Hey Bluff City Vr
Thanks for reaching out and I understand your frustration. We have escalated this feature request to our Product and the Developer teams for further discussion. With that being said, software is complicated and our developer resources are finite. While we'd love to have every great feature, we have to be strategic in how we use our resources to maximize business impact to the greatest number of customers.
Thanks again for your comment and we'll let you know if/when there is any progress on this!

Michelle Nehrenz: so this has 61 upvotes and is this still be researched? Seems like such a simple thing to be added and very beneficial to viewers and operators away from the station monitor.

The new features you recently added on the website has made the iPhone app garbage now cuz I have to log in every time and go to station monitor by hand. Very annoying.

Timer reminder for customer (in headset)

Baptiste Chamorel

It would be great if the customer had a reminder when he has like 1 more min to play, and a countdown for the last 10secs... because it feels so bad to be kicked out of a game when you're 100% into it.

I really hope that the SBVR team is working on this one. It would of course be great for the customers here with a group that want to split their station time. It would also be great for me and the folks helping me out; we wouldn't need to keep walking over to my reception desk PC to be reminded of who's next to get taken out of their VR headset and how long.

Upvoting for having a timer displayed for the audience.

Having it in the HMD isn't a priority for me and if it were implemented there I'd want it optional (so I could disable it).

Timer Displayed on Display Mirror Screen

Having this would avoid the constant questions we get about how long someone has left or which of our booths will be availble next.

Hey Ross Clark! Thanks for your suggestion! We have another request for this feature that I am going to merge yours into.

Time reminder sounds please. Would be good to also configure the option

Craig Carpenter

Yeah, this would be nice. I keep an eye on the Station Monitor and I'll walk by people and tell them when they're getting around that 5 minutes remaining point.
