Varjo Base will attempt to automatically enable the OpenVR runtime for XR-3. If you have previously used an OpenVR-compatible headset on this computer, you may be prompted to enable the runtime manually. Thankfully, I had the VIVE Pro 2 routed through a laptop, so I could move things around fairly easily. If I were on my desktop, I would have needed an entirely new power strip just for the VR unit. Cables Upon Cables Developers You can develop experiences for Varjo headsets using the 3D tools you’re already familiar with. Find all our dev documentation and code examples here. Note: If you have previously paired your controllers with another VR headset, they will need to be paired again with your Varjo headset.

From the SteamVR room setup instructions, select Launch SteamVR and wait for the application to open. Alternatively, you can manually open SteamVR on your Windows computer. Set each base station to a different channel (between 1 and 16). Each press of the button advances the channel selection by one.You can start room setup again at any time in Varjo Base by navigating to the System tab and SteamVR room setup. Perform this setup each time you move the headset and base stations to a new environment, or if you move the base stations or change their orientation in your current room. Make sure the base stations have a direct line of sight with the headset, even when moving around the room. You can pair devices again at any time in Varjo Base by navigating to the System tab and Pair SteamVR device. Before using the headset, clear the room of obstacles and hazards, people, furniture, and any other items to ensure that you have enough space both above and around you.

I'm not in the office right now, but here's a sketch of how the space is configured: http://files.holocafe.de/temp/chaperone_space.png In the SteamVR application window, go to Menu> Devices> Pair Controller and follow the instructions. Well that wouldn't surprise me. To have multiple base stations in one space, each base station needs to be set to a different channel. Since there are currently only four channels available in the firmware, having twice the amount of base stations leads to multiple base stations sending the same station ID, which will confuse the sensors. In the room setup, the maximum size appears to be capped at 4x4 meters. While this does not impact the correct positioning of a larger chaperone or the actually playable space, it might be useful to see the actual measurements after room calubration.

If you're someone that hates having cables running everywhere, VR may not be for you. On top of the 3 required power cords (2 of which will likely be running down your wall to power the base stations), the link box has an HDMI and USB cable that connects to your PC. There's also a port for the 16.4-foot proprietary HTC cable, which plugs into the headset. You can set your preference to stationary or sitting, which minimizes the space you need to move around, but it still requires much more room than general PC gaming. Not to mention the components, like the VIVE controllers and the headset itself, aren't compact in any regard. Note: If you use SteamVR™ 1.0 base stations, ensure that the base stations have a direct line of sight both with the headset and each other. As much as I appreciate the clarity and fluidity provided by the VIVE Pro 2 headset, I absolutely loathe the amount of space and power outlets it devoured. Granted, I have a few quirks at home like two cats and an ever-shrinking office, so it's possible my current setup just isn't made for comfortable PC VR gaming. But I also feel that's going to be the case for many of you. Get Started Get started with the Varjo headset.
