Setup

Start the VR Tool service application
Go to Settings tab
- Make sure that the VRG runtime is installed and updated
- Make sure that the SteamVR driver is disabled
- Make sure that the display mode is set to Direct Mode

Optional (if you are using room-scale Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking system)
- Position the Lighthouse base stations around your tracking space, power them up, and make sure they are synchronized
- Start SteamVR

Optional (if you want to use the voice control option)
- Unzip the downloaded VoiceMacro.zip
- Start VoiceMacro.exe
- The VoiceMacro app will be running in the background and only show the icon in tray notification area
- You can double-click the icon to access additional settings

Find the XTAL icon in the Windows notification area and right click on it
- You’ll need to use Alt+Tab on the keyboard to switch windows, as the demo will take focus by default and it will hide the mouse controls

Make sure that you have the correct Tracking option selected
- use ‘Internal’ if you are using the XTAL internal IMU sensor without any additional room-scale tracking
- use ‘Lighthouse’ if you are using the Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking system

Calibrate the ground level
- This step is only necessary when you are first setting up the system, or after you change the tracking system
- Place the XTAL headset on the ground in the middle of your tracking space
- Make sure that it is visible by your tracking system (SteamVR, DTrack, …)
- Click inside the AutomotiveHolodeck window
- Press F10 on the keyboard (or you can use the Calibrate position button in the XTAL tray icon menu)
Click inside the AutomotiveHolodeck window (to be able to control the demo with keyboard commands and to automatically switch to the correct VoiceMacro profile)
Enjoy the AutomotiveHolodeck VR experience
