wouldnt you still need steam to use the index? steam is sadly propriatary
Nope! The HTC headset hardware has an open API, so you can use OpenHMD (http://www.openhmd.net/) instead of Steam if you want.
woagh tahts awesome. g99d to kjow for the future
So the HTC Vive works with FOSS software but the index doesn’t? Oh man… I mean, if I’m gonna play VR games, those are gonna be mostly proprietary either way, but oof.
I tried to get my cv1(Original oculus rift) up and running with OPEN HAD but it is so complicated to me, it feels more like some completely standalone software which one needs to understand the entire codebase to even use it… And positional tracking also doesn’t work yet, so ya can just look around
