The shoes register as a seperate vr controller alongside valve index, oculus touch, wmr controller etc. Once you install the cyberhsoes software, they show up in the custom bindings tab of steam vr (https://www.windowscentral.com/how-create-custom-keybindings-steamvr).
The roller’s forward and backward functions are treated as joystick input with with three stages (walk, run and when the joystick hits the end of the virtual range, cybershoes can press a button down on a vr controller to allow sprinting) and via the custom keybindings in steamvr, can be mapped as the left(or right) joysticks/trackpads on a requisite vr controller such as vive wands or oculus touch. They cannot be mapped as keyboard/mouse and only to another vr controller. As vorpx allows input from vr controllers, cyberhsoes mapping to the vr controllers in turn allows the input into vorpx games as well it seems. The cybershoes devs are currently working on an optional software to allow mapping to keyboard as well.
The cybershoes software pulls the x/y position of the hmd and moves the joystick in the relative direction based on the direction they are facing compared to the hmd. As you move the hmd cybershoes polls and adjusts accordingly. Im assuming this is the same methodology used for direct movement in VR games based on controller direction, but this works much better as you can aim both controllers wherever you wish while walking.
Cybershoes do not work with any game that does not allow vr controller input (such as vanishing of ethan carter vr).
