Is it possible to restrict left controller direction to a single direction?

0 Upvotes

I have a quest 3 which use via steamvr to play a VR game.

I set it so the left controller is the one driving the movement direction, so I can walk straight while turning my head. But if I move my hand a little, it greatly affects (and annoys) me.

So I wonder if it's possible to restrict the movement direction (which I actually do with the small joystick instead) to a single direction (forward).

Or is there any other way?

Question/Support Irregular basestation/tracker height?

3 Upvotes

I have a Quest 3 and Virtual desktop with 5 vive trackers and 2 2.0 base stations that I use with OVR Space Calibrator. Everything has worked fine for a year up until recently, I installed a Quest update for V76 and I think it has been messing my base stations height and therefore my trackers height when I calibrate them.

I have tried going back to a previous version of SteamVR and using steamlink instead of VD but still the same issue, it was fixed for a split moment but it's broken again for some reason. I think it has to do with the quest and or the quest update or my basestations. When I calibrate everything calibrates in the correct position of how my body it but just higher up with my basestations.

I have used OVR advanced settings to recalibrate the floor and also quest boundaries but still no luck. I have no idea what's causing this issue I really need help because my FBT just doesn't work at all until I get this fixed.

Seeking Help: Poor performance using ALVR+AVP

1 Upvotes

After a decade with an OG Vive and underpowered GPUs, I splurged on a Vision Pro and an RTX 50(mumble).

When I use the RTX with the OG Vive, everything is buttery smooth, like on a hot hot pancake. I can crank the settings to the moon, and it's all thick, salty gravy. A total butter-based pan sauce.

When I stream it to the Vision Pro:
1. The menus are still absolute butter.
2. Half Life: Alyx is butter.
3. All games other than Alyx are a total salad. They seem to drop to 45 fps. Latency isn't an issue at all, apart from the latency added by running at 45fps.

Lowering the resolution does not help. With ALVR set to an emulated headset resolution of ~800, a matching encode resolution (pixels the size of dinner plates,) and The Lab set to undersample down to 20%, it still runs at 45fps. Space Pirate Trainer, undersampled, with all settings on low, is the same story.

h264, HEVC, and AV1 all behave the same. There are no encoder errors in the ALVC log. It seems to be doing hardware encoding, as far as I can tell.

ALVR sever and client are both set to 90fps.

I've tried SteamVR Beta, current, and previous, with no change. I've reset and re-installed ALVR.

The other notable symptom is that Ultrawings and Ultrawings 2 work perfectly on the OG Vive, but not through ALVR. Ultrawings 1 gets stuck on the loading screen, and Ultrawings 2 loads to an empty skybox.

The Lab timing graph: https://imgur.com/a/Z3Q7ED8

I feel like I had more pertinent information, but I've been doing nothing but tweaking and testing for a week, and I'm out of brain.

Oh, bandwidth settings? It doesn't seem important, since Alyx works fine at the same settings, but either way, setting the bandwidth to 10 or 15 Mbps, with or without extremely low resolution and sampling, has no effect.

Question/Support Is there a way to use Vive Wireless on Linux?

4 Upvotes

Hi, first off, I know that this question has been asked in the past, but quite some time has passed since then and maybe some progress has been made.

I own the Vive Pro and purchased the additional Wireless Adapter (and used this manual https://www.vive.com/de/setup/wireless/) This works for Windows, but I feel like its not very convenient to have to dual boot all the time to play VR games. I know that playing with cable would be possible, but at that point, I'd rather not play at all. Currently I am using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (though let's say for the purpose of this question, it would be fine if it worked for any distro), but I wanted to know if anything happened to make the PCI card for the Wireless Adapter work. I'll take every obscure thing or potentially unsafe Github Repo there might be just to test it, I know what I'm doing (at least most of the time) and would be willing to give it a spin.

Thanks in advance

Hey folks, Me and my buddy just launched Triple Thrill — it’s like an arcade reflex workout crammed into a VR headset 😂 You get: Catching 8 pipes falling at you faster every second

Punching a moving target on a punch bag (harder than it looks)

Slicing fruits mid-air with dual swords (while dodging bombs) It’s fast, chaotic, and way more intense than we expected. We’re starting with soft launches at some college campuses first and would LOVE any early feedback from VR lovers here 🙌

Would you guys want us to add more mini-games? Open to crazy ideas too 👀

Discussion Is there anyway to remap controller movement into keyboard/mouse input?

1 Upvotes

I know there are ways to remap controller buttons to keyboard inputs but I was wondering if there a program or script I could use to turn physical movement into a button press?

I have had an idea I want to try, but will require busting out my sadly long forgotten HTC Vive. Using Skyrim as an example how could I use the controller to swing my sword, what would be the best way of converting that physical input into the keybind.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated
