SlimeVR / SlimeVR-Feeder-App

WIP OpenVR Application that gets the position of everything to feed to SlimeVR-Server. In theory.

SlimeVR Feeder Application

TODO:

• It might be worth switching away from C++ because build systems/library management is a pain! I'd use rust but rust's openvr stuff is... out of date and unmaintained. maybe c#?

• Create default bindings for the boolean actions (possibly involving chording?)

• I think the choices made here regarding how to find/sort controllers is somewhat dubious, and out-of-date with slimevr. The logic could use a re-do.

How to use

You can download the feeder app by running the SlimeVR installer here: https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Installer/releases/latest/download/slimevr_web_installer.exe. This will make it launch automatically along with SteamVR.

Alternatively, you can download the feeder app here: https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Feeder-App/releases/latest/download/SlimeVR-Feeder-App-win64.zip and manually launch the .exe.

Building from source

We assume that you already have Git and CMake installed. Run:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Feeder-App.git
cd SlimeVR-Feeder-App
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --target package --config Release

You can then execute the newly built binary:

./build/_CPack_Packages/win64/ZIP/SlimeVR-Feeder-App-win64/SlimeVR-Feeder-App.exe

Thanks

This was largely based off of https://github.com/Omnifinity/OpenVR-Tracking-Example , even if the structure is different. Thanks, @Omnifinity.

Rust setup was basically copy-pasted from https://github.com/XiangpengHao/cxx-cmake-example. Thanks, @XiangpengHao.
