💾 📦 A frozen/reproducible nix environment for libsurvive

1. clone this repo
2. cd to this directory
3. run virkshop/enter
4. (if it fails with "bad gateway" or "file could not be found" run it one or two more times)
5. Once the headset is plugged in, run survive-cli --v 5 to calibrate it. (it won't say "done" so you'll have to kill it after a while)

• plug in everything from the headset
• plug the controller into the computer to pair it

6. Then run survive-websocketd and open the file-url it prints out in a browser to get a visualization
7. test out the libsurive command and the python pysurvive library

Debugging:

• if the movement is all weird, try unplugging the lighthouses and plugging them back in
