v1.19.2 update
[h2]Update Highlights[/h2]
[h3]
[h2]Full Update Note[/h2]
[h3]1. Advanced SubStation Alpha[/h3]
Added full support for Advanced SubStation Alpha (ASS/SSA) V4+ subtitle format that supports text formatting (font, style, size, colour, etc.) and animation.
It is widely used in fansubbing to add stylized subtitles to anime content.
[h3]2. Edge aura[/h3]
Added a visual ambient effect that will extend and warp the edge of a video screen around your field of view based on the @BerZerker96 VHT user suggestion.
This visual ambient effect will help create a more immersive experience when gaming or watching videos.
This feature is available for the following video screen projections: flat, bi-curved, and fisheye.
Some Edge-aura in action when gamming non-VR games in Desktop Mirror mode are shown here:

Here are some YouTube video examples you can try in Desktop Mirror mode to test this Edge-aura visual ambient effect feature together with the VHT's 3D spatial audio for a truly immersive VR experience by using the abundant classic (non-vr) existing videos:

[h3]3. 6DoF[/h3]
Added a pseudo 6DoF movement simulation in the 3D video space for the following video screen projections: flat, bi-curved, 180, 360 and fisheye.
Read the pop-up tooltip for more info.
Use this when gaming a non-VR game in Desktop Mirror mode or when watching a 3D 180/360 video.
This can also be very useful in Desktop Mirror mode to get closer to the screen to be able to read small font text on high resolution screens.
[h3]4. HMD-mouse[/h3]
Control the mouse arrow position with your head (HMD) pose.
Read the pop-up tooltip for more info.
[h3]5. Linux[/h3]
Made a patch to help the VHT start in Steam Proton Linux environment.
This fix is based on the work of @dragon_root, a typical VHT user:
