FOSSXR 2019 - OpenHMD Positional tracking progress
Channel: FOSSXR
Date: 2019-12-04

Reverse Engineering always has been the only way to get hardware running on your operating system of choice. With the OpenHMD 0.3.0 'Djungelvral' release introducing initial support for the Oculus Rift Touch controllers, we came closer to a fully functional Oculus Rift driver. Currently this driver is limited to a rotation-only '3dof' implementation.

This talk will be about how outside-in room-scale tracking works on the Oculus Rift, and the ongoing work to support that in OpenHMD using everything contributed by the community over the last couple of years, and new findings and efforts from the team.
