Upstream <https://github.com/collabora/OSVR-Vive-Libre>

A Free Software driver for OSVR that provides support for the HTC Vive headset
without the need of proprietary software dependencies. 
Vive Libre is based on [OpenHMD](https://github.com/OpenHMD/OpenHMD)'s Vive driver, [LighthouseRedox](https://github.com/nairol/LighthouseRedox/) and [ouvrt](https://github.com/pH5/ouvrt)
and was developed at [Collabora](https://www.collabora.com/) R&D.

## Features

Currently Vive Libre provides basic IMU tracking support via the OSVR API.
Lighthouse external tracking is WIP. 
Our efforts at analysing the Lighthouse signal can be found at
[vive-libre-analysis-and-data](https://git.collabora.com/cgit/user/lubosz/vive-libre-analysis-and-data.git/)

## Distribution

OSVR Vive Libre is available on the Arch User Repository. (AUR: [osvr-vive-libre-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/osvr-vive-libre-git)).

## Dependencies

OSVR-Vive-Libre requires OSVR-Core, Eigen, OpenCV, jsoncpp, zlib and hidapi-libusb to be compiled.

Optional dependencies for testing are OSVR-Tracker-Viewer and OSVR-RenderManager.

## Build

We use CMake

$ cmake .
    $ make

## Usage

### vivectl

A tool to dump Vive raw sensor and config data, and send commands to the device.
	
	$ vivectl -h

### OSVR Server

You can run the OSVR Server with the provided config files or you can copy the file from `/usr/share/osvrcore/sample-configs/` and edit it for your needs, like monitor settings.

Starting the OSVR server

$ osvr_server osvr_server_config.vive_libre.sample.json

Now you can see if the tacking works with the OSVR-Tracker-Viewer. (AUR: osvr-tracker-viewer-git)

$ OSVRTrackerView

You can also check out the OSVR-RenderManager demos. (AUR: osvr-rendermanager-git)
