\n\n\n\nI’ve had a few people ask how to test my OpenHMD development branch of Rift CV1 positional tracking in SteamVR. Here’s what I do:<\/s>
<\/p>\n\n\n\nMake sure Steam + SteamVR are already installed.<\/s><\/li>Clone the SteamVR-OpenHMD repository:<\/s><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\ngit clone --recursive https:\/\/github.com\/ChristophHaag\/SteamVR-OpenHMD.git<\/s><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSwitch the internal copy of OpenHMD to the right branch:<\/s><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\ncd subprojects\/openhmd\ngit remote add thaytan-github https:\/\/github.com\/thaytan\/OpenHMD.git\ngit fetch thaytan-github\ngit checkout -b rift-kalman-filter thaytan-github\/rift-kalman-filter\ncd ..\/..\/<\/s><\/pre>\n\n\n\nmeson<\/code> to build and register the SteamVR-OpenHMD binaries. You may need to install meson<\/code> first (see below):<\/s><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nmeson -Dbuildtype=release build\nninja -C build\n.\/install_files_to_build.sh\n.\/register.sh<\/s><\/pre>\n\n\n\nIt is important to configure in release mode, as the kalman filtering code is generally too slow for real-time in debug mode (it has to run 2000 times per second)<\/s><\/li>Make sure your USB devices are accessible to your user account by configuring udev. See the OpenHMD guide here: https:\/\/github.com\/OpenHMD\/OpenHMD\/wiki\/Udev-rules-list<\/a><\/s><\/li>Please note – only Rift sensors on USB 3.0 ports will work right now. Supporting cameras on USB 2.0 requires someone implementing JPEG format streaming and decoding.<\/s><\/li>It can be helpful to test OpenHMD is working by running the simple example. Check that it’s finding camera sensors at startup, and that the position seems to change when you move the headset:<\/s><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n.\/build\/subprojects\/openhmd\/openhmd_simple_example<\/s><\/pre>\n\n\n\nCalibrate your expectations for how well tracking is working right now! Hint: It’s very experimental \ud83d\ude42<\/s><\/li>Start SteamVR. Hopefully it should detect your headset and the light(s) on your Rift Sensor(s) should power on.<\/s><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nMeson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
