iVRy Driver for SteamVR

[Disclaimer: this review is based entirely on the Android app experience, and I can't speak for any other hardware it supports.] As of the latest update, this has become a very compelling method of achieving entry-level VR. A simple old Google Cardboard viewer and a phone capable of a 120Hz refresh rate (I use a Moto G Stylus 2025) are enough to get you an experience which can comfortably beat out both the original Oculus Rift line and PSVR1 on a pretty destitute budget. Bear in mind, that's a fairly low bar to clear nowadays and it's not going to rival the top headsets or even something like a Quest 2, but if you want to get into VR—real VR—for around $20, this along with picking up a cheapo Cardboard kit on Amazon is the way to do it. Along with more and more phones in recent years becoming 120Hz-capable even in the mid-range and budget price brackets, software like this has the potential to both realize the original promise of Google Cardboard as well as make PCVR truly accessible to the masses in a way that even the upcoming (and admittedly far more capable) Steam Frame is still much too expensive to. Alongside extensive configuration options, it also supports both wired and wireless connections with easy switching between the two (it'll even automatically fall back to wireless if the wire gets unplugged), and I can say that even USB 2.0 speeds are enough for a rock-solid performance at full 1200p120 resolution with no frame drops or artifacting. As for wireless, simply enable a Wi-Fi Direct connection between your phone and PC (hint: use Windows' "mobile hotspot" feature, and then directly connect to the Wi-Fi network that appears with your phone) for the best connection and have the app open on your phone, and then firing up iVRy on your PC will get everything running automatically without interfering with anything else. The latest update has significantly improved its wireless performance to a near-identical stream quality to wired in my experience (Wi-Fi 6, non-E), with only a minor hit to framerate stability compared to wired mode. It's still not perfect, mind you. Getting the wired USB mode working can be a bit of a pain, especially with Windows' tendency to blue-screen when enabling USB network tethering on a USB 3.0 port (even if the connection is only at 2.0 speeds), and the alternative wired method of enabling USB debugging on your Android device can be a bit of a maze of compatibility and configuration issues depending on your setup. For me, I have both Motorola's Smart Connect app for use with my phone as well as Spacedesk using a separate USB debug connection to utilize a Fire tablet as a secondary monitor, and neither of those play nice with iVRy's USB debug mode. In my case, I had to write myself a batch file to switch things around whenever I want to run in wired mode, and I know very few people will have the patience to even research the underlying issues, let alone write a script to resolve them like I have. Though wireless has gotten so good as of the latest update that I'm not sure if I'll even bother with wired anymore. Also, it's supposedly capable of 6DOF inside-out tracking using your device's cameras, but at least in my experience that's been pretty wonky and so I just stick to the basic 3DOF mode, and that has the risk of gyroscopic drift, though that latter bit is entirely down to your device and not the software itself. In my experience, there's a subtle horizontal drift over time which requires recentering every few minutes. A minor irritation, but nothing I can't handle when it's a simple button press to rectify. Some games also don't play 100% nice with it: for instance, prior to enabling emulation of SteamVR's "Room Setup", my point-of-view was constantly floating above my car in the game Distance rather than properly situated in the cockpit. And even now, the lighting engine in BeamNG.drive gets a bit wonky in VR mode in a way that other players with proper VR headsets don't seem to experience. Still, in any case, it's in active development and now at a state where basic usage and setup are pretty painless, and the dev has been responsive and helpful in my experience. Better yet, the free version has a very generous limitation where it simply fades to monochrome after five minutes but otherwise remains unlimited in both featureset and usage duration. This makes it easy to try before you buy and decide if it's right for you; being able to tinker unrestricted with it even in monochrome view allowed me to learn it enough to have the confidence to drop the very reasonable $9 for the full Android mode key, and I've been plenty satisfied with it ever since. Honestly, I'm surprised something like this isn't built into SteamVR itself. It seems like a no-brainer for Valve to implement with far more polish and edge-case consideration if even this somewhat janky one-man show has gotten as far as it has.

dont work at all

Good software for DIY VR with Android phone. Out of all options this one is the most stable i've seen and have good features. It's also has AR Core camera support, so you can have 6 DOF movement, though your phone has to support this. The only thing i need to figure out is DIY VR controllers...

Все пофиксили работает нормально но добавьте поддержку видиокарты Intel Arc

ITS OKAY NEEDS SOME WORK

имбень я не пиратил но у меня не демо!

doesnt work with my psvr 1 even after testing almost 10-20 different tutorials and trying my self and even swapping the hard drive it wont work

I recently purchased the Premium version of iVRy (Pico Edition), but I am still experiencing an issue where the display gradually turns black and white after about 5 minutes of use. As far as I understand, this behavior should only occur in the demo version, not after purchasing the premium license. I have already made sure that the DLC is installed and enabled in Steam, and I restarted both Steam and SteamVR, but the problem still persists. Could you please help me resolve this issue?
