The Backdrop

This proposal aims to define a valid configuration of OpenVR and SpatialLabs display.

The Challenge

The main challenge is to display Unity applications like SteamVR home and others.

The Strategy

To overcome the challenge, use these exact versions:

  1. SpatialLabs EC PRO_Acer_1.2.288_Win11x64
  2. Acer SteamVR Bridge.Installer.1.00.1001

The Upside

By using these specific versions, we can avoid the latest update that causes the screen to be black. This ensures a seamless experience for users.

The Downside

The downside of this approach is that we are losing out on the latest updates and improvements that come with them.

The Road Not Taken

An alternative approach could have been to use a different product like the Looking Glass Factory, but they don’t support openxr.

The Infrequent Use Case

Another infrequent use case could be only flat desktop.

In Core and Done by Us?

I have access to equipment and it’s not easy to get access. This means that the implementation and testing of this proposal will be done by us.
