Driver v0.3
Bluetooth & Steam support now included!

Change notes:

  • Added bluetooth driver implementation. This feature is still experimental as it has not been tested on all boards yet.
  • Driver renamed to opengloves
  • Added support for automatic Vive Wand & Tracker discovery
  • Potential fixes for crashes caused by corrupt data packets
  • Independent offset values for each hand (rather than mirroring)
  • Knuckle emulation icons now replaced with glove icons to avoid possible confusion (implementation still works the same)

The driver has been released onto Steam!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1574050/

The release is also available on github, though we thoroughly recommend everyone to use the Steam releases to receive automatic updates and a UI for configuration!

We've published a UI (source not yet released) for Steam users to tweak configuration values. You can get to the UI by launching the OpenGlove Steam app. Note that you only need to launch the app if you want to edit the configuration, you can launch SteamVR as normal and the driver should activate.

IMPORTANT: If you've already installed the driver via GitHub, make sure to delete it if you are installing via steam.

Github installation:
Extract the correct opengloves.zip folder (not source code), and put the folder into the Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\drivers folder.
Change the default.vrsettings file in lucidgloves\resources\settings to match your hardware. (see wiki)
