ALVR VS OpenVR-WalkInPlace

I recently got a Gear VR (~15 USD) and I had my old S9 stored in the drawer. It was a better option for my usage (3D/regular movies and PC VR with Xbox gamepad) than buying a Quest 2 (~620 USD in my country). An incredible "cinema" experience and I can watch my movies before sleep without disturbing my wife. I am using the developer mode on the Gear APP and SKYBOX VR Video Player (you can get the apk, since the Oculus App no longer enables login to access the store).

I am using most for 3d movies with SKYBOX VR and regular movies with Netflix. For games, I installed Batman Arkham VR (with an Xbox gamepad) and it is working great with the old version of ALVR (resolution at 150% for better quality), I did not like it on the MS Flight Simulator but I will try it on Automobilista 2.

ALVR is a free/opensource altenative.

Make sure to use server version 2.3.1. Higher versions will not work.

NVIDIA GPU that supports NVENC (Supported GPUs) (or with an AMD GPU that supports AMF VCE) with the latest driver.

ALVR is a free and open source alternative to VD, they do the same thing. Though I have no personal experience with it. Until you get software update 28 for your oculus headset (which includes Oculus own virtual desktop functionality), ALVR is the only free option. VD costs I think 15 or 20 dollars.

I have spare baby playpen set up 6ft away from the computer/desk and I tethered an exercise resistance band to the corner of the playpen nearest the desk and then loop that around my waist. My back is to the desk in the playpen corner so the cables won't get in the way. Now I should be able to walk in place and not actually go anywhere. I won't need to worry about pets or anything getting in the way as it's gated off. Then I'm thinking about using the free OpenVR-WalkInPlace driver that seems to be able to do either head bobbing or arm swinging movement.

For Steam you could probably use an Overlay app. Examples of this include https://github.com/dantman/elite-vr-cockpit, https://github.com/OpenVR-Advanced-Settings/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings and https://github.com/pottedmeat7/OpenVR-WalkInPlace (or Natural Locomotion)

You should give OpenVR Walk-in-place a shot.

You could try Open VR Walk in Place. https://github.com/pottedmeat7/OpenVR-WalkInPlace

Not a mod per se but Open VR walk-in-place was a huge boon for immersion.

I don’t know creation kit, but is this what you are trying to do? https://github.com/pottedmeat7/OpenVR-WalkInPlace

For roomscale large world games, get OpenVR Walk in Place working. It's a game changer.
