The first implementation of a datapath between an Arduino Uno and SteamVR. After attempting to implement a SteamVR driver from scratch and failing, this implementation utilizes an input emulator that uses an existing OpenVR driver (Razor Hydra) to send the IMU data from the Arduino to the SteamVR runtime.


This clearly has a lot of issues in not only long term drift but also refresh-rate. Hopefully there will be an improved demo soon.

Virtual Reality Software

Part of my role is to be knowledgeable in current games, including VR. However, I only have the Oculus as a VR headset. Using SteamVR not only allows me to access a larger library of VR games than the Oculus store, but it allows me to use those games on my Oculus headset.

Access to a large library of VR games from various publishers
Allows for other users to join my game and be social in a "hub" outside of the games
The user interface works well and isn't prone to crashing

It's stability is good but could still use some optimizing
The hub has a variety of tools that look cool but are not explained. A tutorial would be nice
An app that can be accessed from the Oculus would be good, though I realize that is a long shot

Vastly increased access to library of the VR games.
Ability to meet with friends in a virtual space to hang out or then jump into games together
Ability to utilize the processing power of desktops with relatively low expense of Oculus headset

Remote employees can meet in a virtual space
The widest assortment of VR software available, both indi and mainstream
Valve sales allow low prices games to be stockpiled on a desktop HD instead of the limited headset storage

Late night gaming sessions when in person visits would be impractical
Higher quality versions of games through SteamVR are pushed to the Oculus headset as compared to the same games from the Oculus store
Using desktop hardware power paired with Oculus mobile headset for better freedom

Virtual meeting spaces to discuss future products with remote employees
Remote access to desktop SteamVR (hardware in one house, headset in completely separate house, connection via virtual desktop and SteamVR)

Accessing your game library was very easy and intuitive
The hub, or homepage was well put together and fun to hang around in
The speed of the system on the whole was snappy and stable

Knowing if the system should be launched from the headset or the pc
Connecting to social hub with friends outside of a game was difficult
Stability wavered on longer gaming sessions
