Introduction to OSVR

Using OSVR

Getting Started

Installing OSVR

Note : It can be used in earlier versions but might require compilation and tweaking.

Running the OSVR Server

Setting the OSVR_SERVER_ROOT environment variable

OSVR server auto-start functionality in ClientKit (Windows only for now) currently relies on the OSVR_SERVER_ROOT environment variable to find the server you would like to have launch. Install the OSVR Runtime, then set the OSVR_SERVER_ROOT environment variable to C:/Program Files/OSVR/Runtime/Server (for 64-bit) or C:/Program Files (x86)/OSVR/Runtime/Server (for 32-bit).

Server parameters

Running the OSVR server just requires passing it a configuration file. For example: osvr_server osvr_server_config.json

if no parameter is specified, a default file is used.
