Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR

Seems like there are quite a few ding dongs writing reviews for this that have no idea what it is. Simply reading the first line of the description will explain it in full; "Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR lets you play all of your favorite SteamVR games on your Windows Mixed Reality headset!". Works perfectly with my Lenovo Explorer. I do wish there were a way to launch SteamVR from the headset itself or just automatically when I plug it in, instead of the useless Windows Cliff House that launches, but the fact that I can play all my Steam VR titles, even the ones that don't officially support WMR, is fantastic! P.S. Only reason I have zero hours played on this software is because I always launch Steam VR via the shortcut in the upper right corner of Steam. This software is still necessary for WMR to hook into Steam however.

Don't bother using or buying any WMR headsets, they won't work anymore. EDIT: WMR headsets can be used again with Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality, I still don't recommend using using WMR though.

Unfortunately Windows Mixed Reality is discontinued and my headset might be bricked in a year.

this is dead F@#$ U MICROSOFT Unfortunately Windows Mixed Reality is discontinued and my headset might be bricked in a year.

So, despise what it says in the how long I used this application, I have been using this application for years. I have a Lenovo Explorer and the goggle is very good, no big complains about it other than moving the arms outside the field of view of the cameras, but the application to use it is almost literally trash. These are the steps if you want to play with this application: - Click the "Launch" button and almost like any other day, it doesn't launch. - You have to remove the wmr cable and re-attach it. Then this application hopefully will launches itself. If that doesn't work you have to restart your computer. - Once the application is launched, obviously, the first thing that you see, is advertisements about other things that you don't care. - Close the advertisements so they know again that you don't care about buying other stuff. - Turn on all the lights in the room and check if the wmr boundaries are still saved after last time. - No, they are not. - Try going around the room 5-10 minutes with all the lights of the room on hoping that this application remembers your room. - No, it doesn't. - Go inside the application and check if you can reload somehow the boundaries by looking left, right and down. - No, you can not. - Re-configure the boundaries by turning on all the lights on in the room, or even empty the cache of the boundaries first, and go around the room. - Get near a mirror and lose completely and in an unrecoverable way the tracking done so far. - Re-configure AGAIN the boundaries by turning on all the lights on in the room, or even empty cache of the boundaries first, and go around the room. - After the boundaries have been set up, go inside the application and be sure that the voice recognition is turned off otherwise weird things may happen while you are playing. - Before you open a game, go back to the wmr application again and configure again your height because it doesn't save it since your last time you played. Obviously. Why would it. (You may not believe me but of all of this, the worst part is when you exit steamvr and wmr lighthouse opens up chugging your resources and there is absolutely nothing you can do.) As you can see after just a few steps you are ready to play any game you want. Bear in mind, I am not joking nor exaggerating. I'm honest. It has been years that I have this same fight with this stupid application that is a requirement to play any game. If you buy a WMR headset, I can tell you that you are going to be fine, but the worst part is this piece of s.....software.

After some troubleshooting, I got Steam VR to work i must say i am very impressed its has it faults like the bugs and the tracking issues although this can differ from your setup and os. I was quite surprised by the large library of games and apps its amazing, I'm really in love with the Desktop theater for non VR games, Playing a game like Dark Souls in a VR environment is astonishing. Steam VR is a must try for any gaming or technology enthusiast!.
