Virtual VR driver to develop easily without the need for a physical headset

• Steam & SteamVR installed in the computer
• If using OpenXR then SteamVR must be set as OpenXR default runtime

1. Clone git repository

git clone https://github.com/oleuzop/VirtualSteamVRDriver.git

2. Init git repositories (to download openvr dependency)

git submodule update --init --recursive

1. Steam & SteamVR must be selected
2. Open VS solution
3. Compile (Release preferred)
4. Go to project folder and execute install_driver_Release.bat (Debug version if compiled debug). This will copy virtual driver inside SteamVR driver folder.
5. Inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\drivers\simplehmd\resources\settings\default.vrsettings it's possible to find which headset and resolution is chosen.

	"simplehmd_display": {
	    "headset_type": "QUEST3",         <== QUEST3/PICO4/PIMAX_CRYSTAL/PIMAX_8K_X_NORMAL/PIMAX_8K_X_LARGE/WMR_EMULATOR
	    "quality_type": "POTATO",         <== POTATO/LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH/ULTRA/GODLIKE
	    "resolution_factor": 0.666666667  <== Resolution factor multiplyier (1.0 is no change)
	}

1. Open SteamVR without any headset connected, then turn on "Display VR view" in SteamVR

2. You should see something as this:

3. To look around use Left Control + Mouse movement

4. To move head position use Left Control + Mouse Right Button + Mouse movement

5. Launch your game with OpenXR or SteamVR selected and enjoy!

6. You can turn off Steam overlay from the hamburger button.
