no 6dof, and i don't even own the controllers or camera, but hey, 3dof works! (side note: if you have 3glasses 3wand controllers, please let me know! i want to add support for those too)

as per usual, if you want to support me, feel free to donate what you can to my ko-fi or GitHub sponsors! anything helps, and I buy all the hardware to do this work out of pocket, so it's a huge help! 🐾🐾

you can read about the work on my Ko-fi, and watch a video of me playing beat saber with it, and finally getting my first "wow!" moment with VR, the immersion of a large FOV really does make a huge difference

if you want to support my descent into mathematical madness reverse engineering the Vive Pro 2 distortion algorithm, or any of the other VR work i do, please don't hesitate to support me on Patreon or Ko-fi! 🐾

i was unable to find any myself, but if anyone has a description of the algorithm in full, or has details that can help the reverse engineering effort, please pass that info my way! you can find me in the Monado discord working on this
discord.com/invite/um7xR...

i've managed to isolate and implement the core algorithm, at least to the best of my knowledge, but figuring out the math *surrounding* the it has proven tricky, with >60 hours so far spent on this. slowly getting there though!

if you want to help me cover the cost of these VR headsets and keep working on Open Source VR shenanigans, feel free to donate to my Ko-fi or GitHub Sponsors! 🐾

massive thanks to the people behind the community SteamVR driver for documenting the protocol!

tomorrow, i hope to get the special vive pro 2 config loaded, implement the in-house vive pro 2 display distortion, and maybe make some more headroom on the IPD, since it's Different

speaking of IPD, anyone have an idea how to parse these
IPD: 2 (min: 499, max: 3581, lap: 3922)

my progress today is fixing the flipped displays
gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/monad...
and opening the HMD's special interface and setting the display resolution to a safe one
gitlab.freedesktop.org/monado/monad...

i can properly play games now! ...if i hardcode the IPD

as usual, if you would like to support me, please donate what you can to my Ko-fi or GitHub Sponsors! 🐾
everything i do for Open Source VR is out of passion, and any donations help cover the cost of hardware and tools to do work!

for more Monado related things, to fulfill the needs of Resonite, i've been designing a set of OpenXR extensions for Monado to cover the needs of arbitrary trackers and device battery info
they're still unfinished and there's still discussion on details, but i'm making progress!

it's written in Zig, and uses SDL3 + a forked SDL GPU subsystem with VR support, see attached video for the first time we actually got a scene rendering!

now that all this is working, i'm going to start writing a yaw correction tracker using the camera data, then after that works, start to upstream the driver into Monado

god bless random person from a couple years ago on stackexchange who was doing *exactly what i was doing*, and wrote down how they solved it!
