Oculus Rift has decided to completely remove that check in your latest update. A logical, given movement that protection was not effective and created more negativity than effectiveness of action. It will be to see if they will include some kind of lock to avoid the use of Oculus (Oculus motion sensor) Touch in HTC Viva, but the movement is grateful for.
