The issue is a case of rendering pipeline. At no point does hotscreen even see the objects on screen as they're rendered before they're streamed to the headset. What's more the images being rendered are warped to fit the actual viewing of each eye much like any 360 degree image. So theres no guarantee the ai will run that well. But if you could mod hotscreen to insert itself into the pipeline better, as to allow people to watch 360 degree videos fully censored, EVERYONE would appreciate you.I've looked into this and it's not feasible with hotscreen. there's a few reasons, but the biggest one is latency. in a lot of scenarios, VR experiences are already close to the limit in how much latency feels acceptable without inducing motion sickness, so any additional latency (in my experience, hotscreen usually needs a few extra frames, which is huge) would push it past the edge. it would also need its own detection model, hotscreen's pretrained models don't always pick up well and perform well with VR recordings.
the only feasible way imo to have a hotscreen-like experience in VR would be to pre-censor an entire video before viewing. I don't really think it's possible to do it for live gameplay, like if you're wanting censorship in VRChat. I have been thinking about it for some time and have been experimenting but it's just not doable live. I might make a program for censoring VR videos and rendering censors over it, but I'm not sure if I have the time right now.
