opengloves-driver VS Half-Life-Alyx-novr

Awesome work! If you figured out collision, could it be possibly to implement Lucid VR Gloves/Open gloves so as to have actual force feedback and feel when touching something or holding a weapon? See here: https://github.com/LucidVR/opengloves-driver . This would be immersion on the next level

You can use opengloves as a way to get basic inputs from an Arduino into steamvr https://github.com/LucidVR/opengloves-driver You will need to use another vr controller for tracking

Not without a controller or tracker. I got SteamVR support using the wonderful opengloves driver made by /u/danwillm and /u/lucidvrtech which allows me to emulate a knuckles controller and get game compatibility. The solution that community uses is strapping a controller or Vive Tracker to your arm, I do this too.

Driver v0.4: https://github.com/LucidVR/opengloves-driver/releases/tag/v0.4

It's there and available on github. https://github.com/LucidVR/opengloves-driver

It was a little while back, but try following the guide here to getting the SteamVR emulator working. https://github.com/r57zone/Half-Life-Alyx-novr

I've actually been thinking of playing it this way myself

You can play it with the no VR mod : https://github.com/r57zone/Half-Life-Alyx-novr

That said, there is a mod to accomplish this. Here's an article outlining why playing with that mod kinda defeats the purpose, which would also apply to watching a playthrough on Youtube in different ways -- either way, you're not getting close to the experience that's intended, which goes a long way to serving the story imo. But, if you'd like, you've got some options.

Meanwhile, This mod exists.
