Great tutorial. Thanks for this! FYI to you and those setting up their Vive's for the first time... Trying to figure out the "mm" by trial and error is not a good idea. It represents your IPD (the space between your eyes). When I first got my headset, that's what I did, and a long reddit thread later, I learned that you should know your IPD before hand. You can ask your eye doctor to tell you your IPD or you can measure yourself using a ruler. The link below will take you to the ruler method so you can find out your IPD without an eye doctor, and the results should be fairly accurate. www.wikihow.com/Measure-Your-Interpupillary-Distance Hope that helps. :)
can you make a video about connecting a phone to the vive and what you can do with it, i cant find any videos about it so you may be the first to make a vid if you do
Im trying to play Vrchat with a HTC Vive and I put hdmi in the same graphics card as my monitor like the instructions say. All I see is a portion of my desktop background. Any ideas about why $500 is messong with me.
+AjitB07 Sure can, when you launch a non-VR game in the Vive it goes into "theater mode" where it just looks like you're sitting in a big room with a huge movie theater like screen. I'll try to get one of these videos out too for you to show it in action. It's not going to work well for all games though just because of the resolution, but it'll likely be amazing for movies.
+Vighnesh Venkatraman Thanks! Core i5 3570k, GeForce GTX 970 and 16GB DDR3. Friend of mine has a Phenom II X4 with the rest being the same and can play everything just as well it seems, surprisingly.
+Nick Sutrich No I'm sorry, I just ordered the computer. I don't know anything about them. I ordered the VIVE, and this computer was suggested. Not sure if should of got a better graphics card. No troll here.

If I'm making games, then how do i see them in full immersion? They keep playing in windowed mode...
2:45 Descent Underground was a game?! It's gone from Steam, nooooo.
Thank you, a great tutorial on some of the handy features of the Vive.
Thanks you man this video help me alot
do u have to have a wire the whole time you playing or not?
can you make a video about connecting a phone to the vive and what you can do with it, i cant find any videos about it so you may be the first to make a vid if you do
+fnatkaz I second this.

Cool; nice to see this working in action. I'd like to see someone do similar with the Rift's Home menus and stuff.
noob question but do the steamvr environments save on your PC's hard,drive or is it like shared data on steam??
My vive port won't connect to internet plz help I can't play any games
is there a way to have the camera just on the side corner not on your controller
just brought the vive cant seem to find the vive home icon as you said in your video could you enlighten me as of how to make this appear thankyou x
Do you have the vive home program installed and running on your computer? If so it should appear in the vive next to the Steam and Desktop icons.
Nice video. Quick question, are you able to play non VR games in steam whilst using the headset? e.g. GTA or witcher 3 etc.
I'm 99% sure you can. You just need a separate application in the steam store called desktop vr or something along the lines of that.

Loving your content mate. What are your PC specifications tho?

I have a 6th generation i7-6700k, AMD radeon R9 390X 8GB and 24GB DDR4. Will it work okay for the VIVE? thanks.
+Kev K not sure if trolling or serious

+Kev K sorry somehow I missed your comment. Your computer is absolutely more than enough, that's why I thought it was a troll.
