LEAVE NO TRACE // VR

a quiet trail through four seasons — now with a headset on.
Trailhead notice board: three routes into the woods, one open today.

PCVR — QUEST OVER LINK

TRAIL OPEN

Native OpenXR build. Runs on your Windows PC, Quest tethered over Link or Air Link — full fidelity: volumetric clouds, god-rays, bloom, the works.

  1. Install the Meta Quest PC app, sign in, and set it as the active OpenXR runtime (Settings → General).
  2. Clone the repo, connect the headset, and enter Link from inside the Quest.
  3. Build and run:
cargo run --release --features xr

No headset connected? The same binary falls back to the normal flat game.

QUEST STANDALONE

TRAIL OPEN

The no-PC version: the game running on the Quest itself. Tuned for Quest 2 (the densest volumetric clouds stay on PCVR; the forest, the seasons, the hermit, and the bear all come along). Sideload it:

  1. Enable Developer Mode once: Meta Horizon phone app → Headset → Settings → Developer Mode (needs a free developer account at developer.oculus.com).
  2. Download the APK and install it over USB with SideQuest or adb:
  3. Launch from Library → Unknown Sources → Leave No Trace. Left stick walks, right stick turns, hands are your hands — right trigger picks up trash.
adb install leave-no-trace-quest.apk

⬇ leave-no-trace-quest.apk (~42 MB, signed; Quest 2/3/Pro, runs at reprojected 36 Hz on Quest 2)

BROWSER VR — THIS URL, IN-HEADSET

CLOSED FOR SEASON

The dream: open vr.hike.tkcodes.com in the Quest browser and step onto the trail. Blocked upstream twice over — the Quest browser doesn't yet ship the WebXR ⇄ WebGPU binding this game's renderer needs, and the engine's WebXR backend is still a stub. Both are moving. When the thaw comes, this trail opens, and everything built for the routes above walks straight onto it.
