Tracking doesnt work in editor

Hi there,

head and positional tracking doesn't work when I run it directly in the editor. Thought something could went wrong with the import of the new sdk.. but it doesnt even work on a fresh scene. I always have to build the scene which is pretty annoying :/ Anyone got a solution?

Cheers,
Dreymo

    Do you get the predistorted viewports in the Game window?

    What is your monitor setup and how is the Rift configured as a monitor?

    Please check the internal variables, perhaps one of these are false:

    OVRDevice.IsCameraPresent //Camera found
    OVRDevice.IsHMDPresent //Oculus HDMI/DVI found
    OVRDevice.IsSensorPresent //Tracker found

    I get true on all of this:

    print (OVRDevice.IsCameraTracking ());
    print(OVRDevice.IsCameraPresent ());
    print(OVRDevice.IsHMDPresent ());
    print(OVRDevice.IsSensorPresent ());

    The blue LED of the cam also stays dark.

    You need to rotate your Rift monitor. And when you say the LED is dark I assume you mean not lit up? If that is the case then it is not powered on. If it has power it should at least be orange.

    I have already tried rotating it, but it didnt do anything. Yes, but I meant the positional tracking camera which stays unlit.

    Oh sorry my mistake I did not see that you wrote camera LED.

    Does the config tool recognize the camera consistently? Also did you update the firmware of the DK2? Sorry for all the "noob" questions. I'm just confused as confused as you probably are on why it's not working as expected.

    Yep, configutil recognizes everything and firmware is up to date..

    I have found the solution, my firewall was blocking the access to driver! Everything works as expected now! :)
