Enhancing VR applications & experiences by capturing the human condition to positively impact training, wellness, research, and design outcomes.
OMNICEPT EDITION HEADSET
CAN YOU PURCHASE THE HP REVERB G2 OMNICEPT EDITION WITHOUT HP OMNICEPT?
Yes, customers can purchase the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition without
purchasing the full HP Omnicept SDK. Eye tracking, sensor data, and inference
information require integration into VR software. The headset will distinguish
itself when used with software that support its additional features. When the
headset is used with supporting 3rd party software, there is no extra expense
beyond the hardware. There is some additional expense if you are developing
software and need access to the Omnicept developer tools, although direct
sensor data and eye-tracking APIs
(application programming interfaces) are included standard as part of the
Omnicept Core SDK, available for free in all countries the headset is sold.
WHAT IS SPATIAL AUDIO?
HP VR Spatial Audio is an immersive & life-like sound environment in your VR
applications where users perceive sound sources to originate from objects
relative to where they’re at in the virtual environment. Perceptually, people
rely on subtle differences in the way sound reaches their left ear vs. their
right ear to localize where a sound is coming from. These subtle differences
between ears are known in the audio community as Head-Related Transfer
Functions (HRTFs). HP VR Spatial Audio uses a unique Machine Learning approach
to predict in real time the optimal HRTF for each sound source in the scene.
Our ML approach provides a more realistic and natural sound localization that
creates a personalized audio experience for a diverse and varied population of
users.
WHY WOULD A CUSTOMER PURCHASE THE HP REVERB G2 OMNICEPT EDITION WITHOUT HP
OMNICEPT?
A big benefit to the headset is leveraging the sensors for eye tracking
purposes, knowing where someone is looking in an experience can be incredibly
insightful to understanding outcomes. Additionally, some customers may want to
purchase the headset now in order to future-proof their VR solution if they
plan to integrate the Omnicept SDK into their software in the future.
IS HP REVERB G2 OMNICEPT EDITION THE EXACT SAME HEADSET AS THE HP REVERB G2
VR HEADSET JUST WITH SENSORS?
No, the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition also includes new features like a
ratcheting headband for quick and easy adjustment of the headband, a PU
leather face gasket in the box, and eye tracking capabilities.
DOES THE HP REVERB G2 OMNICEPT EDITION SUPPORT HAND TRACKING OR GESTURE
RECOGNITION?
No, however, our headset and controllers provide increased tracking compared
to our previous generation. It comes with 4-camera tracking enabling roughly
90% of all possible arm movement to be tracked.
WHAT IS FOVEATED RENDERING AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
With foveated rendering, the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition can discern where
the user’s center of gaze lies and focus GPU rendering workload around the
area of gaze to increase image quality. This results in reducing the image
quality in the peripheral vision, freeing up GPU render workload. Get more of
the graphics horsepower into the area of focus for a better visual experience
with a “VR Ready” GPU. We’ll be enabling this via either.
- NVIDIA® Variable Rate Shading (VRS), which requires developer integration for the content application but allows for a great degree of customization of scene shader rates for either improved performance or increased visual quality. This can be done with tools that can be found at
- NVIDIA® VRSS2, which does not require developer integration and works at the driver level of a supported RTX graphics card to utilize available GPU headroom for improving the visual quality at the center of a user’s gaze, which improves the visual experience overall. An application need only be cleared by NVIDIA® for VRSS2 compatibility
.
Note: Foveated rendering applications must be built and compiled with the HP Omnicept SDK or NVIDIA® VRS. Only compatible with Unity.
WHAT IS FLASHLIGHT MODE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Flashlight mode is a feature enabled through Windows Mixed Reality that allows
a user to make use of the tracking cameras on the headset to see a real-time
video feed of the real world through a small ‘window’ that you can direct with
the controller. While the image of the real world shown in flashlight mode is
in black and white, this can be useful for quickly seeing real-world objects
(and walls) without needing to take off the headset.
DO YOU NEED TO CALIBRATE THE EYE-TRACKING AND IPD FOR EACH USER?
Yes, although not required for eye tracking to work, we recommend an eye- tracking and IPD calibration be done for a new user when they put on the headset for most accurate results.
CAN HP REVERB G2 OMNICEPT EDITION SUPPORT STREAMVR TRACKING?
No, SteamVR tracking is not officially supported by HP or Valve on the Reverb
G2 or Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition at this time.
ARE THE SENSORS USER REPLACEABLE?
No, the Omnicept edition sensors are integrated into and calibrated with the
headset at production.
DO I NEED ANOTHER TOBBI EYE TRACKING LICENSE TO USE HP REVERB G2 OMNICEPT
EDITION EYE TRACKING?
No, the Omnicept SDK will handle all eye-tracking.
IS THE FACE CAMERA CAPABLE OF 3D IMAGES?
Yes.
GENER AL QUESTIONS
IS THERE A SPECIFIC ORDER I SHOULD FOLLOW TO CONNECT MY HEADSET CABLES TO A
PC?
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO DO IT IN THIS ORDER:
- Connect the 6-meter cable to the headset first before connecting to the PC or power supply.
- Leave the 6-meter cable connected to the headset after initial insulation.
- When the headset is not in use, disconnect the power adapter from the 6-meter cable
HOW DO I KNOW THE CABLES ARE COMPLETELY PLUGGED IN?
Verify the cable connected to the headset is fully seated. There is a small
dot on the top of the cable that will line up next to the top edge of the
headset when it has been fully inserted.
HOW DO I OPTIMIZE THE HEADSET RESOLUTION IN STEAMVR AND/OR ON WMR?
WINDOWS MIXED REALITY PORTAL (RUNNING ON WINDOWS 1809 AND EARLIER): There
is currently no way to change the resolution.
WINDOWS MIXED REALITY PORTAL (RUNNING ON WINDOWS 1903 AND LATER): Press
the Windows key and type “Headset Display Settings.” Settings can be adjusted
under RESOLUTION.
STEAMVR: Open the menu in the upper-left of Steam VR and select SETTINGS.
In SETTINGS, click the GENERAL menu. Set RENDER RESOLUTION to CUSTOM. Adjust
the resolution using the slider. With Microsoft’s release in 1809 and earlier,
all computer systems require an external display attached in addition to the
VR headset. If only the VR headset is attached (e.g. backpack configuration)
or if the system “thinks” that only a VR headset is attached without an
external display, the operating system will blank (blackout) the VR headset.
One solution is to upgrade to Windows 10 version 1903 (May 2019 release). You
can also purchase a hardware EDID emulator to fool the system into thinking an
external display is attached (search Amazon for “EDID Emulator”), or connect
an external display to the system.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM PLATFORM CONFIGURATION?
- GRAPHICS: DX12 capable graphics. NVIDIA® GTX 1080, NVIDIA® Quadro® P5200, AMD Radeon™ Pro WX 8200, (update or later); equivalent or better
- PROCESSOR: Intel® Core™ i7, Intel® Xeon® E3-1240 v5; equivalent or better
- POWER: Included power adapter required
- MEMORY: 16 GB RAM or more
- VIDEO OUT: DisplayPort™1.3
- USB PORTS: 1x USB 3.0 Type-C™ or Type-A (with included adapter)
- OS: Significant improvements have been added to the Windows Mixed Reality platform to optimize for the visual quality of this device. For the best performance, please ensure you have the latest updates from Windows 10: version 1903/1909 (KB4577062 or later) or 2004 (KB4577063 or later
CAN I DO A FREE ROAM OR LARGE-SCALE ROOM SET UP? HOW DO I SET UP FOR A FREE
ROAM EXPERIENCE?
The tracking system on the HP Reverb G2 VR Headset is designed to work in an
area where you have an unobstructed view of your walls and floor. Large scale
experiences, such as where you pass between rooms or hallways and see many
different walls, requires an external tracking system. There are many external
tracking systems available, such as those manufactured by Mo-Sys, OptiTrack,
Vicon, and PhaseSpace.
HOW DO I ADJUST THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) OF THE HEADSET?
Use the mechanical IPD adjust on the bottom-left of the HP Reverb G2 headset.
Adjust the distance between the lenses until you achieve the greatest visual
clarity.
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET A CRISPER IMAGE?
There are a few things you can try if you feel that your display looks a
little blurry:
- Make sure that your headset is on your head correctly with your eyes centered to the lenses.
- Try to adjust the IPD (interpupillary distance). Reverb G2 uses a hardware IPD. To change it, look for IPD adjustment on your headset.
If you need glasses or contacts, you’ll need to wear them when using the device.
- Check that your lenses are clean (microfiber cloth only – no fluids).
- Because of the advanced headset design, there may be some minor image ghosting in the first few minutes when starting the device while cold until the LCDs have the opportunity to warm up.
ARE THERE GOOD OPTIONS TO MAKE THE HP REVERB G2 HAND CONTROLLERS
RECHARGEABLE?
The only option currently is to use rechargeable AA batteries with an external
charger. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended, but if used we highly
recommend 1.5 V rechargeable batteries. Nonrechargeable lithium AA batteries
may provide longer battery life than standard alkaline batteries. Do not mix
battery chemistries. Do not exceed 3.6 V total combined battery voltage.
HAS THE HEADSET BEEN SUCCESSFULLY TESTED WITH CABLE EXTENSIONS?
Cable extensions are not recommended as they may not maintain bandwidth. The
provided 6.0-meter cable is considered optimal.
IS THE VIDEO SIGNAL CABLE DISPLAYPORTTM OR
MINI-DISPLAYPORTTM AT THE PC END The cable attached to the headset is
DisplayPortTM 1.3; the HP Reverb G2 VR Headset comes with a DisplayPortTM to
the mini-DisplayPortTM adapter.
CAN THE DISPLAYPORTTM BE ADAPTED TO WORK ON A LAPTOP THAT ONLY HAS HDMI?
ARE THERE ANY KNOWN HDMI ADAPTERS THAT WILL WORK RELIABLY WITH THE HEADSET?
No, the HP Reverb G2 VR Headset requires DisplayPort™ 1.3; HDMI adapters
cannot handle the bandwidth required. You can, however, use a USB-C™ port on
your laptop with a USB-C™ to DisplayPort™ adapter, provided it supports
DisplayPort™ 1.3.
ARE REPLACEMENT CABLES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE?
Yes, replacement cables can be purchased separately.
ARE REPLACEMENT LENSES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE?
No, the lenses are not replaceable. While the lenses are removable, doing so
may void your warranty.1
CAN YOU WEAR EYEGLASSES WHILE USING THE HEADSET? ARE THERE LENS SPACERS OR
PROTECTORS AVAILABLE TO PROTECT MY EYEGLASSES?
Yes, most eyeglasses will fit comfortably with the headset. There are no
spacers, but the face padding is sufficient to hold the HMD away from your
eyeglasses in most instances.
WHY LCD PANELS INSTEAD OF OLED PANELS?
LCD panels provide superior color and clarity compared to OLED panels, and
they are also less expensive. Each pixel in a display is composed of colored
sub-pixels, and the combinations of the brightness of the sub-pixels combine
to create the color your eyes see from the pixel. In LCD displays, each pixel
has a red, green, and blue sub-pixel, which is an optimal arrangement. In most
OLED panels, the sub-pixels are arranged in a PenTile pattern, which leaves
most pixels with only two colors of sub-pixels. LCDs also have better fill
ratios, meaning that there is less black space between pixels, creating less
‘screen door’ effect and greater image clarity.
IT LOOKS LIKE MY LEFT DISPLAY IS STRETCHED, AND THE RIGHT DISPLAY IS OFF-
CENTERED AND HALF-BLACK. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?
This can happen when your headset isn’t running at the native resolution.
Because of the nature
of the high-resolution displays in the HP Reverb G2 HMD, not all systems can
render the native resolution. There’s a fix coming in a future Windows Update
that will address the rendering issue when the headset isn’t at the native
resolution.
There are a few reasons why your system isn’t able to render at the native
resolution:
- The DisplayPort™ on the system might not be 1.3 compatible, or it might not support all four lanes.
- If you’re using an adapter, it might not support be HBR3 compatible, or it might not support all four lanes.
- If your system has a hybrid GPU, that might be limiting the bandwidth available to the DisplayPort™.
CAN I DISABLE THE WINDOWS BUTTON ON THE CONTROLLER?
You can only disable the Windows button by setting the entire computer to
‘kiosk mode.’ In kiosk mode, the user can only access a limited set of
applications, and the Windows key is inactive. Kiosk mode may not be
appropriate for your use case. In previous versions of Windows, pressing the
Windows button would close the running VR application and bring up the Welcome
Cliff House. Now, it only brings up the quick action menu. You may not need to
disable the Windows key on newer versions of Windows.
Information about setting your computer into kiosk mode can be found here.
MY HP MOTION CONTROLLER JOYSTICK WILL SOMETIMES STICK TO ONE SIDE. WHAT
SHOULD I DO TO PREVENT THIS?
This issue is corrected by fully depressing the joystick until it clicks and
it will move freely.
WHY ARE MY HP MOTION CONTROLLER MODELS NOT SHOWING UP CORRECTLY IN A
GAME?
While most games don’t display the controllers or use the models installed by
the driver, some games use their own versions of the controller models, either
to customize them or to display contextual help for the available inputs.
Usually, this doesn’t block any features of the games but might lead to
confusion or even visual artifacts. This can only be fixed with an update of
the game itself.
DOES THE HP REVERB G2 VR HEADSET SUPPORT GESTURE RECOGNITION?
No, WMR headsets do not currently support gesture recognition.
HOW DO I GET HP REVERB G2 TO WORK WITH VALVE KNUCKLES, HTC VIVE HAND
CONTROLLERS, OR HTC VIVE OBJECT TRACKER?
This can be achieved using third-party software. Find the instructions here.
Note that set up requires HTC external trackers (base stations) to track the
controllers. If the base stations are moved, controllers will need to be
completely reconfigured from the beginning of the set up process.
CAN I ACCESS THE CAMERA DATA/SOFTWARE DEVELOPER’S KIT?
The camera data is not available for developers. However, when wearing the
headset you can peek into the real world through the cameras using flashlight
mode. You can access flashlight mode by opening the Windows menu with the
controller, or if voice commands are on, by saying “flashlight.”
CAN THE HP REVERB G2 BE USED OUTDOORS?
The headset is not designed for outdoor use. Using the system outdoors is
unsafe because you cannot see your surroundings. Additionally, the tracking
system is optimized for indoor environments, so you may spontaneously lose
tracking and be unable to recover it if outdoors.
SOMETIMES I GET A WMR CABLE ERROR OR IT WORKS FOR A MINUTE AND THEN
CUTS OUT – WHAT’S GOING ON?
You may be experiencing a random PC power issue. Be sure you are using the
provided power adapter with the headset cable.
SHOULD I DISABLE PC SLEEP MODE WHEN WORKING IN VR?
It’s best to disable sleep mode in the WINDOWS SETTINGS, under POWER. Neither
Mixed Reality nor SteamVR work well after the PC system has gone to sleep. If
you see issues after the system has gone to sleep, reboot.
I AM GETTING A 7-14 “SOMETHING WENT WRONG” ERROR WHEN I PLUG IN MY HEADSET.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
The 7-14 Something Went Wrong code means that some of the required USB2
components weren’t found. Because of the extra-long cable of the HP Reverb G2,
some of the tolerances for the USB signals are tighter. This means that one
port on your computer may work more reliably than another. If you’re seeing a
7-14 “something went wrong” error, try the following steps:
- Make sure that you have the most recent drivers installed for your headset and your USB controller.
- Make sure you’re using a Microsoft USB driver. There should be a “Microsoft” in the name of the “eXtensible Host Controller” device.
- Try plugging the cable into a different USB-3.0 port on your computer. (Try USB Type-C™ and Type-A ports)
- Use the included USB C to A adapter to try different ports.
- Try plugging the headset in through a USB Hub to your computer.
NOTE: HP recommends using only USB controllers built into the motherboard with
Reverb G2 devices. If you are unable to connect your device, please contact HP
Support.
Q 2.27: I AM GETTING A 13-14 “SOMETHING WENT WRONG” ERROR WHEN MY PC RESUMES
FROM HIBERNATE (S4). WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Sometimes during the resume process, the video card can’t establish a
connection, so unplugging the USB Type C™ from your PC and plugging it back in
may help to establish a connection.
OTHERS STATE I AM LOUD OR THAT MY AUDIO IS CLIPPING WHILE I AM USING THE MICROPHONE WITH SOME APPLICATIONS. WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREVENT THIS?
The input volume levels are automatically set to 100% when the HP Reverb G2 microphone is first recognized by a Windows PC. Because of the Reverb G2’s high-quality microphones, input sensitivity is much higher than the default Windows 10 settings expect. We recommend setting the Reverb G2 microphone input level starting at 50% and scale up from there. An optimal setting is specific to the user, especially when using applications that don’t have an “auto-gain” microphone setting. Examples of applications that have “auto-gain” are Skype, Zoom, Teams, and Cisco WebEx, but not all VR social or broadcasting applications have this feature.
WHERE IS THE BACK STRAP SUPPOSED TO BE WORN?
It is supposed to cradle the occipital lobe, which is the lump/bump on the
back of your skull. Wearing it there will greatly improve FOV and sweet spot.
HOW CAN I POWER DOWN THE HEADSET WHILE STILL USING MY PC?
Unplug the AC connection adapter from the link box on the headset cable to
remove power to the headset 3.0 STEAMVR
WHAT ARE STEAM AND STEAMVR?
Steam is a software publishing and distribution platform with an active
community of VR enthusiasts that allows you to collect a library of VR and
non-VR experiences. SteamVR is a software framework that connects VR software
to VR hardware, it was created by the Valve Corporation and fills the same
role as Microsoft’s Windows Mixed Reality platform or Facebook’s Oculus
platform. Steam and SteamVR provide the software back-end to products like the
HTC Vive, Valve Index, and the Steam controller. Steamworks is a set of tools
and services that help game developers and publishers get the most out of
distributing games on Steam.
HOW DO I INSTALL STEAMVR ON MY SYSTEM?
- First, install Steam – download and run Steam from store.steampowered.com/about.
- Then, install SteamVR – once Steam is installed and you have created a Steam account, go to STORE and search for “SteamVR.” Select the install option.
- Finally, install Mixed Reality for SteamVR – now that SteamVR is installed, go to STORE and search for “Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR.” Select the install option.
HOW DO I LAUNCH AN APPLICATION THAT REQUIRES STEAM VR?
Connect your Windows Mixed Reality headset and launch the Windows Mixed
Reality Portal. You may need to complete room set up if you are in a new
location.
- Open Steam and run SteamVR from the library. You will launch into Steam’s home room.
- SteamVR should show your headset and controllers in blue.
- Select and run a SteamVR application from the Steam library.
CAN I DEVELOP DIRECTLY ON A WINDOWS MIXED REALITY HEADSET WITHOUT USING
STEAMVR? WHERE CAN I FIND GUIDANCE & SUPPORT?
FOR UNREAL ENGINE 4 (UE4): Yes, you can develop for Windows MR without using
SteamVR using Unreal Engine 4. You must use Windows April 2018 update or
later, and UE4 version 4.21 or later. SteamVR will still launch automatically
when starting UE4. There are two steps to disable this:
- In SteamVR, under developer settings, disable ‘Start SteamVR when an application starts.’
- In your UE4 project, under plug-ins, disable the SteamVR plug-in and restart the editor. Developing for WMR should not be significantly different than developing for SteamVR. The Unreal Engine does most of the work for you and hides the details. Access UE4 documentation here.
FOR UNITY: Unity 2017.2 and later features built-in Windows Mixed Reality
and HoloLens support, which includes a wide range of tools, packages, and
resources that make it simple to author a game or app for both VR and MR, and
makes it available in the Microsoft Store. Learn more here.
HOW DO I MIGRATE HTC-BASED CONTENT (STEAMVR) TO WINDOWS MIXED REALITY?
You can play most experiences designed for the HTC Vive by using the Windows
Mixed Reality bridge for SteamVR. This is available for free on the Steam
store. Not all experiences are guaranteed to work; for example, the buttons
may seem inappropriate or missing. If you are the content developer, you can
enable the appropriate plug-in in your game’s editor.
CAN I LAUNCH STEAMVR WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION (OFFLINE)?
An internet connection is required to download and install SteamVR. Once the
installation is complete, you can run SteamVR offline.
HOW DO I DO A QUICK CALIBRATE IN STEAMVR?
If you find that the center of the VR space is offset or the VR floor isn’t
the appropriate height, you can use this quick method to make the
adjustments: In SteamVR, open the left nav > select DEVELOPER > select
DEVELOPER SETTERINGS > scroll to find the QUICK CALIBRATE button > set the
headset on the floor in the center of the VR space > click the QUICK CALIBRATE
button.
WINDOWS MIXED REALIT Y (WMR)
WHAT COMMON HEADSET-TRACKING CHALLENGES MIGHT I RUN INTO AND HOW DO I
RESOLVE THEM?
The tracking system should provide six degrees of freedom (6DOF), which means
movement in three dimensions (front-back, left-right, and up-down) and
rotation in three dimensions (yaw, pitch, and roll). Sometimes you may get
only rotation tracking (3DOF). This usually occurs when the headset has been
unable to see the floor and/or walls for more than a few seconds. The issue
can be resolved by allowing the cameras to get a clear view of the floors and
walls. Another possible issue is that the floor is not in the right position,
or your starting position in your VR experience is not where you want it to be
in the real world. Both issues can be resolved by opening the Windows Mixed
Reality window and going through room setup again.
WHAT KNOWN HAND CONTROLLER TRACKING CHALLENGES ARE THERE AND WHAT ARE THE
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS?
The hand controllers will only track when the cameras on the headset can see
them. Keep the controllers in the tracked area to maintain optimal tracking.
If you still cannot see the controllers, be sure that they are paired to the
headset.
CAN I RUN WMR WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION (OFFLINE)?
Yes, after initially configuring the Windows Mixed Reality Portal using an
internet connection. The first time the Windows Mixed Reality Portal is set
up, updates will download and install from the internet. After set up, you can
work offline.
MY HEIGHT IS NOT CORRECT IN VR – HOW DO I FIX IT?
OUTSIDE A VR EXPERIENCE: Run room setup.
INSIDE A VR EXPERIENCE: Navigate to the Windows Cliff House, press the
Windows button to open the start menu, click on ALL APPLICATIONS and open the
FLOOR ADJUSTMENT app.
MULTIPLE SETS OF HP WMR DEVICES ARE DEPLOYED IN ADJACENT AREAS – IS MUTUAL
INTERFERENCE GOING TO BE AN ISSUE?
WMR devices typically do not have trouble operating near each other. For
example, you should not experience problems with tracking. However, the
controllers and headsets are connected by Bluetooth®. Like all Bluetooth®
devices, if there is too much radio interference then there may be
connectivity issues.
TIPS FOR CREATING SHARED VR SPACE BOUNDARIES?
You may have multiple people in VR while in the same area. It’s important to
have boundaries set up for each user that do not come close to overlapping the
other users. People will often reach outside the boundary even if their feet
don’t walk outside of it. Considering two people doing this at the same time;
a five-foot buffer between boundaries is recommended.
**HOW DO I DISABLE/ENABLE THE WINDOWS BUTTON ON THE CONTROLLER?***
You may find that users accidentally press the Windows button on the VR
controllers. This takes the user out of the VR experience and returns them to
the Cliff House. You may need to create this DWORD to change its value:
- Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm
- Value: DisableBloomFor6dof
- Type: REG_DWORD
- Data: WMR Controller Windows button functionality (0=Enable, 1=Disabled)
- This will DISABLE the Windows button on the WMR controllers – reboot your computer for it to take effect.
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm]
- “DisableBloomFor6dof”=dword: 00000001
- RESTORE DEFAULT: This will ENABLE the Windows button on the WMR controllers – reboot your computer for it to take effect.
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm]
- “DisableBloomFor6dof”=dword: 00000000
**CAN I CHANGE THE HEADSET IDLE TIMEOUT?***
By default, WMR headsets turn off after 15 minutes of idle. This will pause
Mixed Reality and any VR experience being displayed. If you have a non-
interactive demonstration, you may find you want to extend the default
timeout. You may need to create this DWORD to set its value:
- Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic
- Value: IdleTimerDuration
- Type: REG_DWORD
- Data: Mixed Reality Portal idle timer specified in milliseconds
- This will set the WMR HMD idle timeout to 3 hours. Restart the Mixed Reality Portal (if open) to take effect.
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Holographic]
- “IdleTimerDuration”=dword: 00a4cb80
THE MIXED REALITY PORTAL SAYS “CAN’T RUN MIXED REALITY ON THIS HEADSET” BUT
THIS WORKED FINE WITH MY PREVIOUS WMR HEADSET. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
This may happen because your HP Reverb G2 requires a more powerful PC to
ensure the best experience. For more information, please review the minimum PC
requirements.
