When you do this, it seems that the origin of the coordinate system is the location of the Mode A basestation and the best I can tell, it tries to align orientation with with gravity. Whether you’re working with virtual cameras and sets or looking for new ways to create character animations without the time and expense of traditional mo-cap. The Locate the following configuration file and open it with a text editor: steamappscommonSteamVRresourcessettingsdefault.vrsettings second basestation is not just to prevent occlusion (contrary to what HTC Vive PR dudes want you to believe)

Room setup was not required at all. I believe that this is more for telling the Chaperone what direction to face, where the floor is and what the bounds of the room should be. Great question! I ran an experiment where I took a basic laptop (Win10, Core i5 with Intel Integrated Graphics). Installed Steam and SteamVR and tried exactly this.

Also, you need to connect the controller via micro-usb for it to work. This is stated, but would be good in bold.

The pricing the author lists is misleading. If you want a roomscale front facing experience, here is the actual cost. You (and anyone else) are welcome to contribute to the github to add the features that you want too! You did mean you have degrees in math and physics right? Not that you took some math and physics courses in college did you? Because that would be embarrassing on your part.This is great info, thank you! Does anyone know if it is possible to use two Vive controllers with one Steam dongle or do I need one dongle per controller? I’m looking into using my two controllers without having to connect the HMD for non VR applications. pyopenvr is a great start and an excellent base layer, the goal with triad_openvr is to make the interface more intuitive/natural to use and pythonic.

but practically speaking at some distance from basestation, say 12 feet, just how good is it to be useful with just one basestation ? Search for the “requireHmd” key under “steamvr”, set the value of this key to “false”. The following is a .vrsettings file that has been tested as functional: For some non-VR applications, possibly this performance is acceptable so as a minimum requirement, you could get started with just one.

As the script executes, you will see numbers updating at 250Hz. These are the realtime 6DOF pose coordinates!
