🔴 OpenVR Input Recorder

Tired of pulling your headset on everytime you change code?

• Record VR actions once and replay each time you change code
• Replay at 2x/4x to shorten test cycles
• Test multiplayer VR on your own (and, in theory, without owning multiple headsets, but this isn't working yet)
• Since tracking data is recorded/injected at the OpenVR driver level, it works with any game engine

Installation

Download the latest binary from the release section. Close SteamVR (important!) and run the installer.

Usage

To record:

$ openvr-input-recorder.exe record my_recording

To replay:

$ openvr-input-recorder.exe replay my_recording

To replay at 2x speed:

$ openvr-input-recorder.exe replay my_recording 2

To loop at 2x speed:

$ openvr-input-recorder.exe loop my_recording 2

By default, openvr-input-recorder.exe will be installed at C:\Program Files\OpenVR-Input-Recorder\openvr-input-recorder.exe.

Tips

For testing/debugging

• I recommend making recordings that leave your app in the same state at the start and end. Otherwise you'll have to put on the headset to reset the app.
• Input recording/playback doesn't work very well for testing non-deterministic stuff, for obvious reasons

For testing multiplayer

• You'll need 2 or more machines, each with a connected headset. Record to a file accessible by all machines (I use Google Drive). Launch your app on all machines and playback the recording(s) as you see fit.
