vorpX and opentrack

[tfrieden]

Hi,

I tried to get vorpX to work with opentrack, which has support for the Rift headtracker and allows games with TrackIR/Freetrack support.

Unfortunately, vorpX will not be able to open the Rift device when opentrack is running. DId anyone find a solution for this problem ?

Regards,
Thom

You can disable head tracking in the vorpX config app. This should allow you to use OpenTrack without geting a warning message.

I did disable headtracking, but it didn’t change anything: If opentrack is running when vorpX starts, it complains about not being able to find a Rift. If I start vorpX first, and then opentrack, and then the game, vorpX will complain about not being able to connect to the Rift and the game will crash before opening it’s display.

Unfortunately, opentrack has to be started before the game runs, as it won’t see it otherwise.

OpenTrack probably is not updated to the current Oculus SDK yet and might block the Rift exclusively. You might have to wait for a new version.
