HowTo: Use RICOH THETA V with HTC Vive and SteamVR

Hello codetricity,
I was researching into wireless streaming from the THETA V to the Oculus Go, but I need a stable setup with very low latency and thus decided to go for a wired solution. As I need to use a VR headset wihtout base stations or external sensors, I am thinking of using the Oculus Rift S for my project. Have you tried your THETA V + Unity setup with the Oculus Rift S?

I have not tried it with Oculus Rift. Community member @Litto was or is using it with an Oculus Rift.

It should theoretically work as the THETA appears as a UVC webcam to SteamVR.

@Tyler Have you made progress? What headset are you going to use?

It works for me with the driver below

In the guide below, I tested the driver with Unity and Z1. The guide is for a beta version of the driver, but the driver has been publicly available for a while. You can ignore the part that it is “private beta”
