4.2 Start and check SteamVR

Before entering the game, first confirm that HiggloveNg can recognize the SteamVR state and activate the current controller output.

Steps

  1. Keep HiggloveNg, receiver and left and right gloves connected normally.
  2. Start SteamVR and wait for the head display and position tracking device to enter the usable state.
  3. Observe the SteamVR status icon in HiggloveNg.
  4. Confirm that the VR type, left and right position sources, and controller type are all consistent with the current hardware combination.
  5. Click the start button, then check the left and right hand positions and finger movements in a safe space.

Expected Result

SteamVR recognizes the current environment. Both the spatial position of the left and right hands and the movements of the five fingers can be observed. There is no interchange between the left and right hands.

If the Check Fails

Save SteamVR status, HiggloveNg version, VR type, left and right position source, controller type and complete device combination; position exception returns 4.1, finger exception returns 3.2 or 3.3.
