OpenGloves is an open source, OpenVR Driver that allows for use of DIY Virtual Reality Hardware in SteamVR games.
[h1]Introducing Driver v0.4[/h1]
[h2]Additions:[/h2]
[h3]FORCE FEEDBACK HAPTICS![/h3]
- In compatible apps, you can now feel the resistance of the objects that you hold!
- Requires LucidGloves Prototype 4 or higher.
- Currently compatible with our Unity DLC and Half Life Alyx (requires DLC for integration and mod).
- Links for github repositories to DLC's:

- https://github.com/LucidVR/opengloves-half-life-alyx-scripts
[h3]Automatic Pose Calibration![/h3]
- Instead of having to manually type in the pose offsets to put your hands in the correct place, you can now have it calibrated automatically!
- This feature (for now) requires wiring a button to your gloves for calibration.
- Hold the button and move your hands to where your virtual hands are. After releasing, it will automatically calibrate.
[h3]New Encoding Manager[/h3]
- You will now notice in serial manager that the data is displayed with letters instead of `&`'s.
- This gives us extra redundancy in the data structure to prevent crashes from bad packets, and allows us to add extra inputs on the fly with future backwards compatibility.
[h3]Menu button[/h3]
- Now added a menu (system) button that works with Alphabetic encoding.
[h2]Changes:[/h2]
- Controller Discovery through Overlay
- The driver now detects your controllers through a separate included overlay app that automatically runs.
- This will improve the experience for users using Vive wands as they will pair on the correct sides.
- Settings will now not reset between updates
- Before, updating your driver would reset all your OpenGloves settings.
- Now the settings are saved within SteamVR so they will save between updates.
[h2]Fixes:[/h2]
- Fix issues with bluetooth not working on some machines
- Fix bug with pose settings caused by unit conversions
- Fix bug with playspace calibrator caused by lighthouse tracking name
This version of the driver is available through Steam, it should automatically update but you may need to relaunch the steam process.
This driver build is also available through GitHub (steam release is recommended though)
