Credits
This project uses SwiftSocket to handle the TCP connection with the Oculus Quest, Apple's VideoToolbox to decode the stream, and ARKit for the "virtual green screen". Its video decoder is based on zerdzhong's SwiftH264Demo.
Old versions of Reality Mixer also used FFMPEG, and code from the Oculus MRC plugin for OBS.
The right and left controller models are modified versions of the oculus-touch-v3 models from the WebXR Input Profiles.
This project also uses sounds from Notification Sounds and avatars from Ready Player Me.
