If anyone would like to continue this project feel free to do so

This Repo is my attempt on making VR Games playable without actual VR Hardware

For this Project im using a PSVR Headset and 2 Nintendo Switch Joycons

• Resetting the Joycon orientation (Yaw Axis) sometimes not work as supposed

  -> Easy Fix: Aling your Joycon to the rotation you see in VR and press Reset again

  -> If this doesnt work just restart the FreePieIO_Module.exe

• One Joycon sometimes dont communicate even though they are connected correctly

  -> Easy Fix: Just Restart the program

If you want to use it you need these 2 programs

• TrinusPSVR (https://www.trinusvirtualreality.com/psvr/)

  -> Set Mode to "SteamVR"

  -> Go to the Tracking Tab

  -> Set "Head Device" to "FreePieHead Position"

  -> Set "Left Hand Device" to "FreePieLeft"

  -> Set "Right Hand Device" to "FreePieRight"

  -> Disable "Follow Headset"

  -> Disable "Rotate With Headset"

  -> Play around with the "Controller Position" Sliders until they are as close as possible to your elbows

  Here is how they look on my setup:

  

• FreePie (https://github.com/AndersMalmgren/FreePIE)

  -> Install

  [Optional] -> Open and run the FreePieIODebug.py Script

• Then copy the "hidapi.dll" file from "PSVR_JoyCon_VR_Bridge/FreePieIO_Module/PrecompiledResources/hidapi.dll" to your FreePie install directory (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\FreePie). You can build the DLL file from this (https://github.com/libusb/hidapi) repository if you want to do it yourself or have problems with the precompiled DLL.

• Make sure your Joycons are connected to your Computer. Then start the "FreePieIO_Module.exe". After a few seconds the last line should be "Awaiting calibration...". Place the Joycons on a flat surface and Press ENTER/RETURN to start the calibration. After the calibration is done you should be good to go.

• Touchpad Touch -> Analog Stick

• Touchpad Press -> Analog Stick Press

• 13.04.2020

  -> Added Joycon communication

  -> Added basic Drift filter

• Adding GUI

• Adding external Position Tracking

• Add Kalman filter

• Cleaning and adding the Raspberry Pi Scripts to this Repository
