SteamVR Headset SLAM Mod

Inside-out SLAM tracking in place of traditional lighthouse base stations.

Hardware SteamVR Driver
SLAM tracker mounted on a Bigscreen Beyond

Overview

This project replaces a VR headset's traditional lighthouse (base-station) tracking with SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) using onboard cameras to track position instead of external sensors mounted around the room.

It combines a custom SteamVR driver with the necessary hardware, shown here running on a Bigscreen Beyond. The aim is inside-out tracking freedom without the setup and space requirements of external base stations.
