OpenVR Driver Samples

CMake

The CMakeLists.txt found in this folder shows how to link OpenVR libraries.

These are added to the targets in each sample.

Samples

drivers/ - driver samples. See drivers/ for information on each of the drivers.

Building

There are two options that can be used to build the samples: CMake or Visual Studio.

This directory contains both a CMakeLists.txt file which can be used to create a Visual Studio solution, or you can use the Visual Studio solution provided in this directory.

Building with CMake

To create a solution for the samples, run (in this directory):

cmake -A x64 -B build
Navigate into build/ and open the solution.
Build the project.

Building with Visual Studio

Open the vs-openvr_samples.sln file in Visual Studio (2019 or 2022).

Build the project by pressing Ctrl + Shift + B.

Build Artifacts

Building with either CMake or Visual Studio will output the build artifacts to the output/ directory.

See drivers/ for more documentation on linking the drivers to SteamVR.

Building the project will output the driver binary to output/drivers/<driver_name>/bin/win64/driver_<driver_name>.dll
