Experimental v10

• Added proper hand skeleton and animation

• ALVR is now using the Oculus Quest icons for SteamVR

• stability improvements: If ALVR encounters an error, SteamVR sould not be affected anymore.

• added logging into SteamVR: ALVR log entries can now be found in the SteamVR log

Requires latest vc runtime link

If you have previously used ALVR, it is recommended to delete the old config found in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ALVR

Thanks to all the contributors that make this work possible!

  -- Boneworks
  -- DCS World

Tested with SteamVR 1.10.20
Requires latest vc runtime link

If you have previously used ALVR, it is recommended to delete the old config found in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ALVR

Experimental v8

• stability improvements
• fixed Vivecraft controls (maybe fixes other games)
• added manual color correction

Requires latest vc runtime link

Experimental v7

• added new fixe fovead rendering (ffr) mode sliced for a sharper image
• added Aggressive keyframe resend
• general bugfixes

Experimental v6

• Hopefully fixed a crash that happened for some on ev5

• added ability to disable controllers

• added 3DOF mode

• updated to Visual Studio 2019 and Cuda 10.1

• allows to specify explicit IP address for ALVR server.

Server IP can be set from computer - by command line:
adb shell am startservice -n "com.polygraphene.alvr/.ChangeSettings" --es "targetServers" "10.10.10.10"
Multiple IP addresses can be separated by comma (and some other characters).
Setting can be effectively removed by using any string shorter than 7 characters (e.g. "none") instead of IP address.

This should provide native support for ALVR server and VR headset on different subnets/networks (e.g. ALVR over VPN and cloud gaming).

Experimental v5

• added fixed fovead rendering (ffr) made by @zarik5
• fixed ui where sound options got stuck after first start
