Turning SteamVR on/off on playtime

[victorluccassvl]

Hello! I would like to know if is there a way to allow my Unity application to use VR only if it is available, but not crash nor show any errors/warnings if it is not. I want it to be able to freely switch my VR gear on/off on playtime, track this change, and allow my app to know when to use a keyboard/mouse or joystic mode. Is that possible? I couldn't find easy ways of doing so.

I am also looking for a solution for that. I struggled several days of searching on the net and using trial&error... No working result so far.

You probably figured it out already but I am doing something like this to detect if a controller was connect/disconnected.

 public void Enable()
        {
            if (steamVRControllerPose)
            {
                steamVRControllerPose.onConnectedChanged.AddListener(OnControllerConnected);
            }
        }

        public void Disable()
        {
            if (steamVRControllerPose)
            {
                steamVRControllerPose.onConnectedChanged.AddListener(OnControllerConnected);
            }
        }

       private void OnControllerConnected(SteamVR_Behaviour_Pose behaviour_Pose, SteamVR_Input_Sources changedSource, bool connected)
        {
            if (behaviour_Pose == steamVRControllerPose)
            {
                isControllerConnected = connected;
            }

            if (isControllerConnected)
            {
                SetVisibility(false, true);
            }
            else
            {
                SetVisibility(false, false);
            }

            GameLog.Log("Tracked device connection changed " + behaviour_Pose + " -- " + changedSource + " connected " + connected, GameLog.LogType.Info);
        }
