04 VR Setup


VR system description

We used the HTC Vive Pro 2 along with 2 Vive trackers.

Where and how to place sensors

You need to attach the sensors on opposite corners of the ceiling where they are facing each other and angled 45 degrees downward. The sensors can screw in with a standard 1/4"-20 screw, however it can be a little difficult to set up sometimes. We used scissor clamps to attach to the ceiling for majority of the project time.

Attaching controls to Blackmagic

Having the VR controller or Vive tracker attach to the Blackmagic was fairly simple for us. We had it on a camera mount and then attached the controller with a clamp to the very top. Now we also used a Vive tracker for focus for a little, but most of those could just screw into the top of your camera.

Setting boundary

You want to be able to set up a room-scale boundary in Steam VR setup and make sure it is as big as you can go. You also want to make sure that the arrow is pointing towards where you are going to be shooting as this can effect the location of where it actually is in Unreal Engine.
