OSVR Stingray #3

Closed Edozie101 closed 6 years ago

Edozie101 commented 9 years ago

Any word on when a Stingray integration repo will be created or how I can start to help build it out?

VRguy commented 9 years ago

We would love to help you get started. Do you have info on how Stingray can be extended to support other HMDs/tracking systems? Do they have an API for such extensions?

Edozie101 commented 9 years ago

I am in contact with Autodesk Developer relations right now asking for those features. Currently you can read http://help.autodesk.com/view/Stingray/ENU/?guid=__developer_writing_plugins_design_html for writing plugin designs.

I'll let you know of any updates

VRguy commented 9 years ago

It seems that with some source code access, this can be done. The core OSVR team will be happy to help you with the process, even though we can't dedicate someone at the moment to do it.

Edozie101 commented 9 years ago

If we form some closed team we can have access to the source code of stingray for the purpose of OSVR integration. We will just have to find a group of people who are interested in doing it.

Also, would integrating the Open VR SDK from Valve, work with OSVR headsets, has that been tested yet ?

rpavlik commented 9 years ago

There is an "alpha-level" driver providing some access to OSVR devices through Valve's SDK, however, their SDK is less general and has a less expressive device and system model. If you want OSVR integration, the best way is to just integrate OSVR itself: the SteamVR/OpenVR driver is essentially a "shim" to permit existing apps on that SDK to run on a wider range of equipment.

Ok thanks for the info , any news on how I can form a group to work on OSVR Stingray integration ?

VRguy commented 9 years ago

We can form a private Github repository until it is ready for a broader audience. We can then invite interested parties to participate.

Does that work for you?

Repo was created, IIRC, but there was not much progress made and I'm pretty sure this engine is defunct now. Not sure if there's any reason why it couldn't be opened, but I also don't know if it would be useful to anyone - I never had access to the Stingray engine so I don't know the status.

Closing - re-open if there's no contractual/NDA reason to keep the repo closed and if there would be a benefit to opening it up, and I can see if we can get that opened.
