RS

The oculus orb is an item which allows players to have total control over the camera, an ability which is useful for video makers.

It has a Scry option that lets the player more freely control the viewpoint of game client, making it possible to not have it centered on the player character as it does normally.

Not only can the oculus orb be used for making videos and taking screenshots, it can also be used for taking a closer look at areas which players either cannot access, could formerly access but can no longer do so, or ones which are unrelated to the area the player is currently standing in and are only visited via completely different methods, such as the Tower of Magic basement that is visible from the Library Historical Archive.

Availability

The orb is currently only available to Jagex Moderators and select content creators for streaming and video creation[1], and are given to players manually in-game.[2]

As the game system isn't written to be fully player-facing, it was decided that it was to be given to a small amount of players for further testing, and that it would be officially released to all players once it is deemed ready for wider scale use.[3]

Controls

Oculus orb interface

The controls help interface which appears after using the Scry option on the orb.

The orb can be used by selecting the "Scry" option. This will temporarily remove the user interfaces and make the player invisible to themselves; others will see the player as if they are viewing the fullscreen world map. An interface will appear on the centre of the screen showing the keys to control the orb, which can be toggled by pressing the F1 key.

If the player is attacked, they will exit the orb camera mode and return to normal gameplay. The usage of the orb around aggressive non-player characters may require some form of a safe spot.
