Is it possible to set up data server? #14

Closed neural-loop closed 4 years ago

neural-loop commented 4 years ago

I have a number of raspberry devices here that I could connect to create a data server that would be consumed by my gaming pc with the vr headset. It might be awhile before I am able to get my hands on a pm5 monitor.

If there were a linux / ubuntu / debian way to get the data, that would be excellent.

That should be possible. May be you can also run chrome on a raspberry pi (never tested it). Or you can just connect using an usb and use a long cable.

I do have some long usb cables I can test with. I'll give it a try real quick with the windows client to see if I can get it going

So the experience was after installing the software, it detected and read the data with no problem. I was wearing the VR helmet, but it was treated as a desktop app - I could see it through a virtual desktop, and click the vr goggles, but it just showed the left and right eye on a virtual flat screen

Maybe you have to use another browser. Check if you vr system has a custom browser which support 3d (it should be chromium based browser )

Let me try that. I might have disabled the browser VR before because my tracking stations would randomly turn on when visiting some websites.

tijmenvangulik commented 4 years ago

The browser must support webvr. I do not yet support WebXR. And the browser must be chromium based for the USB/ blue tooth connections.

I turned on webvr in chrome, the Index doesn't seem to catch on. Should it toggle when I click the goggle icon? When does the vr mode kick into headsets for other devices?

neural-loop commented 4 years ago

I think unfortunately the valve index doesn't support webvr, not sure about webXR. Have you considered putting it in a game 3d engine like Unity?

tijmenvangulik commented 4 years ago

I am a single developer and it is written in my spare time so I can not support all platforms. I depend on VR vendors implementing the official standards. If they do not do this it will not run on specific devices. My bet is that the big vr vendors will support the official web standards on the long run. So I am only focussing on making the app work on the web vr standards.

That makes sense. I like what you've got so far and hope to explore what you've created. I agree in time there will be support for webvr / webxr eventually on the index.
