Install
- Close SteamVR, any VR game and the StrandXR window.
- Run the downloaded StrandXR Setup and allow the permission prompt.
To update, close SteamVR and any VR game, then use the StrandXR window: Check for updates, then Update, and allow the permission prompt. That keeps your settings and whether StrandXR is on. Running a newer Setup also updates it, but turns StrandXR on or off as its Turn StrandXR on box says, and resets the settings of StrandXR’s own VR runtime. Needs Windows 10 or 11 and an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card (NVIDIA: driver 570 or later; AMD: 23.12.1 or later); the rest is under Requirements.
StrandXR is free to use and share, as is and at your own risk: the terms.
Uninstall
Close SteamVR, any VR game and the StrandXR window. Then in Windows Settings, open Apps, find StrandXR and choose Uninstall. It asks whether to delete StrandXR’s settings and logs too.
What’s new
0.6.101 (15)
It goes with the app’s 0.6.101 (15) from TestFlight. Neither one works with 0.6.101 (14), so update both.
- Gamepads and Joy-Con in VR: turn on Gamepads and Joy-Con in the app’s settings, and a gamepad or a pair of Joy-Con plays as your controllers where your hands are. With Fingers from hand tracking on, social apps show your own fingers on it.
- A PlayStation VR2 Sense controller stays in the game while it’s on, even set down; after 5 s with no hand near it, your hand plays its side until you pick it up.
- In the app, Hands and controllers takes your hands, your controllers or both out of the game, at once, even mid-game.
- In the app, Mic among the stream’s controls, or Microphone in its settings, turns the microphone off and leaves it to other apps on Vision Pro.
- On a PC without SteamVR, the StrandXR window now shows StrandXR as on: games on its own VR runtime stream without SteamVR.
