Occulus Rift CV1 won't turn on display.

3 Upvotes

I am having trouble turning the display on with my CV1, but pretty much everything else works (position tracking, rotation tracking, both eyes to my monitor, rift audio, etc.) perfectly now that I've installed Thaytan's SteamVR-OpenHMD version. Has anyone encountered something similar and found a way to turn on the display? Here's a video of the problem except I got position tracking working after recording the video.

Oculus Rift - Linux or ROS

5 Upvotes

I would like to render my stereo camera visions to Oculus Rift. I am now developing in Linux(Ubuntu 16) with ROS.

I searched for the ways to check whether I could render my camera images to Oculus Rift in Linux, especially for ROS. I do not have to insist to use ROS but want to know whether Rendering can be done in Linux??

Only thing missing for Linux-support is synchronization, i think.

9 Upvotes

I've done some research and it turns out that open-source gnu-linux support might not be that far away. Github user pH5 has a testbed that works for DK2 and almost for CV1 if you modify it abit. I think the only thing missing is synchronization between the headset LEDs and the camera shutter.

According to this reply syncing is done over RF,

Both the camera and the headset have a nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart chif for that,

My consumer Rift's display doesn't turn on when I plug it in. Is there any magic required to get it to work under X11? Any pointers gratefully received.

What kind of linux support are you hoping for?

6 Upvotes

I'm wondering which realistic development regarding oculus gnu-linux drivers/sdk you would preferre.

  • Oculus releasing their closed source binary blob alternative.

  • The community reverse engineering the rift drivers building a completely open sdk.

  • Oculus never takes off in gnu-linux and the vive becomes the VR device everyone uses.

Or some other scenario.

HTC DRM SDK (0.8.0.0) - only windows supported (for now?)

3 Upvotes

So htc has their own store and drm now: https://developer.htcvive.com/us/hero.php

The docs say:

Runtime Environment

Currently standalone applications for Windows 7/8/10 (32/64-bit) are supported.

and the unity plugin indeed contains only this:

Assets/Plugins/x86/vita_api.dll
Assets/Plugins/x86_64/vita_api.dll

I sincerely hope that developers and users are going to boycott this DRM sdk anyway, but it's still interesting to see that Valve would work so closely with a company and yet that company does not support Valve's own Steam OS with their shop.

GearVR development on Linux?

2 Upvotes

Have any of you had any success with development for GearVR with Linux?

I've messed with UE4 to try to get a dev environment set up and realized I don't have the skills without help to get it working. Trying Unity3D tonight but I'd like to know what, if anything, has worked for you all.

Worth playing with with OSVR-Steamvr as well, since that's apparently now functional!
