Updates to AppGameKit VR & the AppGameKit Tier2 Guide

AppGameKit VR

 AppGameKit VR has new features and improvements based on our community feedback.

 
Here's a list of what's new:
 
  • New commands to set the global position and rotation of the Head Mounted Display in the 3D world
  • Ability to render to each eye individually
  • Added the ability to render depth textures
  • New ability to get lower level controller button feedbacks to better support Oculus controllers
  • Added the capability to return a float value from Oculus Touch grip triggers
  • Feedback and control of Steam's chaperone (boundary grid)
  • Added hardware information feedbacks
  • Fixed a problem with the SetPlayerRotation command
  • Allow the use of a custom skybox instead of the SteamVR room when application is too busy to render new images
  • Added a command to cleanly shut-down AGKVR

This new version uses the very latest OpenVR dll so be sure to download all files (Open VR, AppGameKit VR Plugin, Tier 1 and Tier2 demos).

Steam Review?

If you purchased AppGameKit directly from Steam we'd really like to hear what you think of AppGameKit by posting a review on the Steam store. It helps new users with their buying decisions and it helps us learn what our customers think.
