OSVR 1.4 Head Tracking guide

[Triple88a]

Hey folks, just got my OSVR and made a nice guide how to get started with the head tracking.

Hi Tripzter,

been following your guide, tracking works, thank you.
But my question to you is: how did you set up your display?
Using SBS mode in ED gave me a somewhat stretched image, comparable to this one:

did you set a different fov via the file? or ist it just not possible to get the right ratio?

I thought ED was completely down on OSVR atm (Steam removed ability to select older SteamVR versions and it auto-updates)??

Also, how are you guys finding the so called 'fisheye' problem? Is it poor setup or something we have to live with?

Seems we have to wait it out, sadly.
SteamVR broke, SBS mode is horrible aspect and even greater distortion/fisheye.
Absolutely unplayable atm.
Back to triple-mon for the time being...

I wouldn't mind waiting it out if I knew who was doing the API / server coding and how they got remunerated. Would be nice to get some communication from Razer - at least to reassure us that there are no legal / licensing issues with Valve/HTC and what timeframe is possible to fix this issue. At the moment the official forums are dead, and I'm kind of wondering what the point is of buying hardware without news of working drivers or (much) software...

Well, it is a developers kit, after all, so no guarantee on anything.
There seems to be a workaround already.
But this is what you'd like to keep an eye on:

I setup a custom resolution. I guess a different FOV would be better though.

I actually returned my OSVR because at the proper focus, the lenses would come out too far and press against my eyes making the goggles impossible to wear.
