VR View

VR View page contains all VR View related options.

• Enable VR View
  • Shows or hides the VR View window, which contains the final rendered image as it is displayed inside the headset.
  • You can also select if you want to show picture from Both Eyes at once, or only one (Left Eye or Right Eye).
  • This option will not be available if you are using the Somnium SteamVR Driver, so in that case use the VR View option in SteamVR instead.
• Warping
  • If this is disabled, the VR View window shows rendered image before the final warping algorithm (compensation for headset optical system) is applied.
  • If this is enabled, the VR View window shows rendered image after the final warping algorithm is applied.
• Always on Top
  • If this is enabled, the VR View window will be placed in the top window layer, so it will be shown over other windows on the desktop.
• Open on Start
  • If this is enabled, the VR View window will open automatically after any Somnium VR1 compatible application is started.
• Capturing
  • Capture Snapshot
    • Use the Capture button to save the current VR View image to a .png image file.
    • Image file will be saved to the folder selected through the Path button (‘C:/ProgramData/somnium/’ by default).
  • Capture Video Recording
    • Use the Capture button to start or end video capture from the VR View window.
    • Exported video file will be saved to the folder selected through the Path button (‘C:/ProgramData/somnium/’ by default).
