SteamVR 1.13 also brings a handful of other changes out of beta, including an improved pass-through view for the Index headset which Valve calls Room View 3D. Or maybe the feature was just low on their priority list for all these years? We’re just glad to see it’s finally here. ![]() With time though, it’s become apparent that there’s practical reasons for easy reorientation and recentering, even considering room-scale gaming (not to mention that only a few VR games today are designed purely for room-scale movement). Room-scale games, which are designed with zero virtual movement, don’t rely on a concept of ‘forward’, nor do they need an explicit ‘center’ beyond the central point of the playspace bounds. The root of the missing feature may have been Valve’s early commitment to ‘room-scale’ VR gaming. While this has been easy to do on Oculus headsets for a long time now, it was only possible in SteamVR by doing a fresh room setup (which means taking the headset off and retracing your playspace) or with third-party tools.

Valve Plans to Release "SteamVR 2.0" This Yearįurther, some players may benefit by reorienting the forward direction of their playspace in the optimal direction for base station tracking. It’s especially useful for smaller or very rectangular playspaces.īeat Saber, for instance, would benefit from being able to move the ‘center’ of the game a bit further back from the center of the playspace, giving your arms more room to swing in front of you (considering you won’t be swinging behind you).Īnd now in seated games like driving simulators, you can easily sit down in your chair and then reset the forward position of your playspace so that your seat and head position are perfectly aligned with the position of the car around you. I press my bind to space drag and move my controller to perform the action and it is as if I. Other times it is as if the program is lagging. Hey everyone, I am having a issue with my OVR settings where I go to playspace move and it sometimes works just fine. Steam Thank you Thank you for reading this guide. Playspace mover lagging and having choppy response time. This is exceptionally useful for certain games, especially those that expect the player to stand or sit mostly in a specific spot. OVR Advanced Settings also known as Playspace Mover A Dashboard Application for VR, that allows you to access many settings, and provide a litany of utility features, such as timers, audio settings, push-to-talk and more. Screenshot by Road to VRĬlicking the button will start a three second countdown timer, at which point your position and looking direction will be used to re-define the center and forward directions of your playspace. If I move myself too much, and then try to drag myself back to center, my StreamVR FREAKS out. Its fun in VRChat to be able to move about and resize my height, but Im having trouble. When you download the latest main-branch update of SteamVR, version 1.13, you’ll notice a new button on the SteamVR dashboard (an icon of a person with an arrow around it).

How to Recenter and Reorient Your Playspace in SteamVR SteamVR has been around since the earliest days of consumer VR, but Valve has finally now added a simple way to reorient and recenter your playspace. Really tl dr "resetting position" sets your SteamVR position to "0" not necessarily your game position.The latest main-branch update to SteamVR adds a dashboard button which makes it effortless to redefine the ‘forward’ and ‘center’ orientation of your playspace, a simple but useful feature for certain games. Tl dr in a perfect box if you used only us to move you would move back to origin, but the second you turn/use the motion in game the games co-ordinate system does not match steamvr's and you might end up in un-expected/new areas on reset. ![]() we are effectively blind to the game's co-ordinate system, as such when you do things like use the games locomotion/turning it changes the percieved origin point.Įven hitting things like collisions in game could cause the perceived origin to change. Using the Reset keybind option in motion in keybindings or the Reset option in the Offsets tab is the more correct way. "Revert All Changes from this Session" is not really meant for the offsets (though it should work) So first off Just making sure you are on 5.2.0 (front page bottom right) Well There are two values ~8km and ~40km out that behavior might change a bit but I doubt you are hitting those XD. ![]()
