Official VR module

@rickard You are right, I was looking at the Master branch and thought it was the 3.1.0 branch.

jme3-vr is not part of 3.1.0

So I downloaded the Master branch and figured out how to compile it.

It builds successfully but I get this error:

Nov 01, 2017 3:01:57 PM com.jme3.app.VREnvironment initialize
SEVERE: System does not support VR capabilities.
Nov 01, 2017 3:01:57 PM com.jme3.app.VREnvironment initialize
SEVERE: Cannot initialize VR environment [FAILED]
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

What system is not supported? Ubuntu 14.04?

I’m going to try a more recent Ubuntu version (16.4) later this afternoon.

@iamcreasy Thanks for the link, but I’m not even getting to the point where it tries to “Create OpenVR wrapper”

Thanks for the support!

Ah, yeah. I’ve noticed that linux auto-fails. I’ve investigated since my system in some cases isn’t a x64 bit either.
This is line 394 of VREnvironment:

vrSupportedOS = !OS.contains("nux") && System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model").equalsIgnoreCase("64"); //for the moment, linux/unix causes crashes, 64-bit only

I didn’t write it or have tested in on linux, so I can’t help there. You could try setting it to true and see what happens. Maybe it’s redundant.

After removing !OS.contains("nux"), I get to the point where OpenVR tries to initialize, but it crashes on JOpenVRLibrary.VR_InitInternal(hmdErrorStore, JOpenVRLibrary.EVRApplicationType.EVRApplicationType_VRApplication_Scene); in OpenVR.java.

Any idea of what to try next? I will try with OSVR.

Drivers seem to be there at least. I don’t see any drivers for OSVR though.

Here’s a page I found regarding SteamVR and Linux. It seems to be a bit experimental, still:

Did you get the openvr/build/samples/hellovr_opengl/run_hellovr sample to run?

Hello to all,

I’m sorry to not give answers frequently. The actual implementation of jme3-vr is tested on windows with OpenVR official distribution (not the beta ones).

The next commit will enable to use custom OpenVR implementation (by specifying a DLL or a SO file at startup) and so it will be easier to test other implementations.

For me, the problem with Linux/unix systems is linked to OpenVR implementation and not to jme3-vr module as the module only delegates VR to the underlying native library.

I try to commit the new version by the end of the week.

Hello,

I’ve just updated the jme3-vr module. The pull request is pending but the integration within the master branch should be ok soon. I’ve done many refactoring in order to continue integration of various VR implementation (OpenVR, OSVR, Oculus Rift) without board effects. I’ve also updated the OpenVR underlying implementation to 1.0.9.

Please note that is now possible to specify an external native implementation of openvr. For that, you have to add the -Dopenvr.library.name=my_path_to_library option to the command line.

Here is an updated VRSample program that works with the last update of the module:

Hi @seinturier

I just cloned jseinturier:jme3-vr-dev and tryed it, hoping it would solve my issue.

In your new VRAppStateSample, I had to change
import com.jme3.input.vr.openvr.OpenVR;
for
import com.jme3.input.vr.OpenVR;

and had to comment

Vector2f playArea = vrAppState.getVREnvironment().getVRBounds().getPlaySize();
    if( playArea == null ) {
        // no play area, use default size & height
        floor.setLocalScale(2f, 0.5f, 2f);
        floor.move(0f, -1.5f, 0f);
    } else {
        // cube model is actually 2x as big, cut it down to proper playArea size with * 0.5
        floor.setLocalScale(playArea.x * 0.5f, 0.5f, playArea.y * 0.5f);
        floor.move(0f, -0.5f, 0f);
    }

since .getVRBounds() was an unrecognized symbol.

Sadly, it didn’t solve my problem.

On the OSVR side, I managed to get the OSVR sample app working on windows, but not in jMonkey (on windows still).

I had to set Sealed:false in jwjgl-2.9.3.jar

Then I got the following error:

java.lang.VerifyError: Bad type on operand stack

On de OSVR, Linux side… Well… I’m able to compile OSVR-Core, get the OSVR server running, but I can’t manage to compile OSVR-Vive.

Hey got a question about the VR module.

Does this support the new Microsoft Mixed Reality Headsets?

1 Like

In fact the response is exactly the inverse :wink: The Microsodft compatible headsets are based on SteamVR (and so on OpenVR). See Windows Mixed Reality Headsets Gain SteamVR Support, a Library of VR Games.

So the headsets are compatible with the Jmonkey VR module as soon as you use OpenVR as VR environment (see the sample above).

Hey thanks for the reply.

I’ve updated the wiki by adding a link to this thread

Did you mean for this link to start at the top of the thread or at the bottom(post 67)?

Remove the /67 to make it start from top of thread if that’s what you intended.

See comments on the PR.

That’s the thing with these monster threads. How is anyone going to be able to extract useful info from them? The beginning is outdated and the end is out of context. For that reason I don’t think we should encourage people to post new questions in this thread.

I will make a dedicated page on the WIKI for the VR module. I will work intensively on it by the end of February (will update the module and the documentation).

While waiting for proper documentation, a minimal updated code snippet should be posted and the thread locked. Then, the link on the wiki should be updated.

What’s the status of this? I getting into VR development and this module looks like it does what I need.

Do you speak about the documentation or the jme-vr module itself ?

Tje jme3-vr module is now a part of the official distribution (since 3.3.0)

Yea. I only noticed after I posted the question.

Since 3.2.0 actually 3.3.0 has not been released yet
