### Unofficial python bindings for Valve's OpenVR virtual reality SDK, located at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr

## DEPRECATION NOTICE

Our upstream SDK OpenVR is no longer being updated. Everyone is switching to OpenXR instead. We are working on similar bindings for OpenXR at https://github.com/cmbruns/pyopenxr

## Installation

- [ ] Install Python 3.5+ https://www.python.org/download/

- [ ] Install HTC Vive SteamVR

- [ ] ``pip install openvr`` OR download the installer at https://github.com/cmbruns/pyopenvr/releases

## Use

```python

import sys

import time

import openvr

openvr.init(openvr.VRApplication_Scene)

poses = []  # will be populated with proper type after first call

for i in range(100):

    poses, _ = openvr.VRCompositor().waitGetPoses(poses, None)

    hmd_pose = poses[openvr.k_unTrackedDeviceIndex_Hmd]

    print(hmd_pose.mDeviceToAbsoluteTracking)

    sys.stdout.flush()

    time.sleep(0.2)

openvr.shutdown()

```

For more advanced usage, consult the example at https://github.com/cmbruns/pyopenvr/blob/master/src/samples/glfw/hellovr_glfw.py, which is a complete faithful translation into python from the original C++ sample at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/tree/master/samples/hellovr_opengl
