SteamVR Driver
The XTAL headset is directly compatible with any SteamVR application, after installation of the VRG SteamVR Driver:
- Download and install Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/about/)
- Install the latest version of SteamVR (through Steam/Library/Tools)
- If the SteamVR driver wasn’t installed during the VR Tool setup wizard, you can do it manually:
- Make sure that Steam and SteamVR are closed
- Start the VRG Tool service application
- Go to Settings – Software – Drivers page
- Click on ‘Install’ button in the SteamVR Driver section
- If the driver was installed successfully the ‘Install’ button will be hidden, and you will see additional options for the driver
- Make sure that the SteamVR Driver is enabled (either on the Homepage or on the Settings – Software – Drivers page)
- Start SteamVR – you should see the XTAL headset icon in SteamVR window, and the SteamVR content will be displayed inside the headset
- SteamVR applications will work with any XTAL tracking options (configurable on the Settings – Tracking page)
- if the XTAL headset is equipped with Lighthouse tracking clipon/tracker, SteamVR will automatically use the Lighthouse tracking option (if you want to use different tracking instead, make sure to unplug the Lighthouse tracking clipon/tracker from the headset)
- If the application is based on interactions through HTC Vive controllers, you’ll need to use XTAL headset with Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking, and two additional wireless dongles to connect the controllers (please follow the detailed guide about Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking setup on the Lighthouse/SteamVR page)
- All XTAL 3 headsets are equipped with embedded Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking and wireless dongles
- SteamVR Room Setup
- if you’ll be using the Lighthouse/SteamVR tracking with controllers, you can use the standard ‘Room-scale’ Room Setup
- if you’ll be using different tracking option, you’ll need to use the ‘Standing only’ SteamVR Room Setup
- If the headset icon isn’t visible in SteamVR, make sure that you have the SteamVR Driver enabled in VRG Tool and restart SteamVR
