OpenVR Recorder Downloads

Specific testing wanted for:

• in theory this app should work while another game/experience is running
  • not sure if this is true for all games, so if you’re willing to test a few…..
• Loading an FBX with textures has only been tested with Maya and MotionBuilder, does it work in other apps?

Known bugs and features that are not implemented yet:

• Models with textures don’t work in MotionBuilder but do work correctly in Maya
• Playback of recorded data not implemented yet

Requirements:

SteamVR must be installed and running
