SharpOVR 0.4.2 NuGet Update

I would recommend creating a different wrapper entirely for OpenGL since SharpOVR is based on SharpDX and uses a lot of the basic types provided (Vector3, Matrix, Quaternion, etc.). I'm not a fan of defines, especially in .NET since libraries are distributed as DLLs.

Hi,
This looks great!
My c# dx engine (if you can call it that) uses SlimDX rather than SharpDX.
Do you think it would be fairly trivial for me to convert it to use SlimDX?

Cheers.

Works really well with DK2!

This may be a trivial question, but does anyone know how to get rotations about the X, Y, and Z axis' with SharpOVR?

I've put an extension method for the Quaternion in SharpOVR called GetEulerAngles(). You can get the rotation with something like

float yaw, pitch, roll;
hmd.GetEyePose(0).Orientation.GetEulerAngles(out yaw, out pitch, out roll);

Thank you for the quick reply Guy.

Perhaps you could help me a little further? I'm just trying to get up and running, but I am unable to get a reading with the following:

static void Main()
        {
            OVR.Initialize();
            using (HMD hmd = OVR.HmdCreate(0))
            {
                while(!Console.KeyAvailable)
                {
                    Console.Clear();
                    float yaw, pitch, roll;
                    hmd.GetEyePose(0).Orientation.GetEulerAngles(out yaw, out pitch, out roll);
                    Console.WriteLine("Yaw: {0} Pitch: {1} Roll: {2}", yaw, pitch, roll);
                    Thread.Sleep(33);
                }
            }

            OVR.Shutdown();

        }

It's always 0. I've noticed that blue led does not come on when I run. The SharpOVR RiftGame works fine.

You need to call ConfigureTracking() to start the sensors. Add the following line before your while loop:

hmd.ConfigureTracking(TrackingCapabilities.Orientation | TrackingCapabilities.Position | TrackingCapabilities.MagYawCorrection, TrackingCapabilities.None);

Guy, you're awesome. Thank you!

SharpOVR has been updated to 0.4.1. Not many changes to the API itself, only a new InitializeRenderingShim() method if you use DirectToRift mode.

I've corrected the weird issues where some axis / positions had to be inverted. There are new extension methods to properly mimic the various matrix and vector transformations done in the SDK. Have a look at the updated SharpOVR Sample.

Hey,
thanks for the work, it's amazing.
I tried to load my own fbx model into your sample but it gets completely messed up. I just see some random flickering 'triangle star thing'. I think it's a sharpDX issue but can you give me a small hint on what could be wrong? I've never used sharpDX, just some XNA. :)

Solved: (but still strange)

First off: Thanks for making and contributing SharpOVR it is really awesome.
I am currently playing with SharpDX rendering and I have a few questions about your library.

1. The only license I can find is the Oculus LibOVR license, how do you plan to license SharpOVR and are you planning on releasing the source?

2. The current nuget release is bound to the signed 2.6 desktop/d3d11.2 sharpdx dlls. Is there some reason for this tight binding? Are you planning on releasing alternate versions for each version/build variation of sharpdx?

3. The MatrixOrthoSubProjection method produces non-aligning results across the eyes when rendering sprites. I am not sure which one is right as the sprites are visible in both eyes, but in very different positions. Am I missing something (like a specific value for an eye-specific parameter) with the usage of this method? Or do I have to have to perform additional steps beyond applying the projection to get correct ortho rendering?

Thanks again for your work on this.
