Envision #
Envision is a graphical app that acts as an orchestrator to get a full Monado or WiVRn setup up and running with a few clicks.
Envision attempts to construct a working runtime with both a native OpenXR and an OpenVR API, provided by OpenComposite, for client aplications to utilize. Please note the OpenVR implementation is incomplete and contains only what’s necessary to run most games for compatibility. If you plan to implement software, utilize the OpenXR API, specification here.
Warning
Envision is still to be considered alpha-quality and highly experimental.
You can download the latest Appimage snapshot from GitLab Pipelines.
Please note that WiVRn will not work properly by AppImage, if you utilize the AppImages to run WiVRn you must extract the contents of the AppImage and then execute the Envision binary.
Room Setup #
If you’re planning to use the SteamVR lighthouse driver (with Index or Vive HMDs, or other lighthouse tracked HMDs), you’ll need to go through the SteamVR room setup. You can do that from SteamVR, directly from Envision or manually by running the appropriate scripts. More info in the SteamVR page.
Experimental feature settings #
The following resources can be entered into your envision profile repo and branch settings to enable early access to code before its fully upstream in monado itself. Simply edit your profile with these settings and rebuild to enable these feature sets.
Full body lighthouse tracking #
Full body is now provided by default in Monado & OpenComposite through the XR_MNDX_xdev_space OpenXR vendor extension. This allows any tracked “xdev” in Monado to be forwarded as a raw pose without bindings to applications. OpenComposite exposes these as fake vive FBT trackers for use.
WMR Controller tracking #
This enables positional tracking for WMR controllers in full 6dof
