Описание: Somnium Service Update 1.1.1.47 Major Improvements for VR1 Tool, OpenXR, and SteamVR!

Welcome to the latest update for Somnium Service! We've rolled out version 3.0.0 with a ton of enhancements to improve your VR experience, including fixes for compatibility issues, new mixed reality features, and UI overhauls. Whether you're diving into flight sims, using eye tracking, or tweaking your setup, this update has something for you. Check out the full details below.

Key Updates:

Updated Somnium OpenXR Runtime to 1.2.3:
Fix for Virtual Desktop UAC freeze (VD will still not show UAC windows, but it will correctly unfreeze after UAC is clicked away).
Fix for Easy Anti Cheat compatibility (LMU, Star Citizen, etc.).
Fix for Virtual Camera Compensation option not being applied when mixed reality is restarted.
Added support for direct eye tracking and mixed reality camera access (required SDK/plugins will be released separately, for example VRCFT plugin).

Updated Somnium SteamVR Driver to 3.6.0:
Updated process of checking SteamVR driver state (this also fixes issues with latest SteamVR - versions, where the checking process incorrectly disabled SteamVR driver).

Somnium VR1 Tool UI Changes:
Updated layout and UI style of the Somnium VR1 Tool Settings.
New Mixed Reality Profiles: Low res 90/120 Hz modes (2028x1512), high res 1/3 foveated mode (4056x3024, 75FPS [foveated 1/3]).
Chroma Key functionality is now separate from MR Masking type (it can be enabled by a checkbox on Masking page, independent on selected masking type).
Mixed reality now has aSharp upscaling enabled by default (Mixed Reality - General page).
Added Inverted Chroma Key functionality (experimental): This will currently only work with 3D mesh masking type.
Added NVG functionality (Headset - Advanced page): This allows using a special customizable NVG-like image filter, either only on the mixed reality part of the image or on both the VR and MR parts.
Added Anchored Tracking mode (Tracking page): This can be used to fully anchor both the VR and MR position to a specific lighthouse tracker.
Added option for restarting Ultraleap hand tracking sensor (Hands page).

Added optional Visual C++ Redistributable installation to Somnium VR1 Tool installer components.
Added separate options for OpenXR Runtime and SteamVR Driver uninstallation to Somnium VR1 Tool Uninstaller.
