LibOVRWrapper

This is a library that wraps calls from applications that user older Oculus VR SDK versions to a supported version (1.3). Currently 0.7 and 0.8 wrapping is supported but more versions will be added.

Help is welcome. My c++ skills are rusty and I don't have time to support this very well.

Tested to be working:

  • Most of the SDK samples
  • Surge 1.2.2

To developers: Please do not just use this to bring 1.3 support to your program. Native 1.3 support is always better.

Installation

Extract to a folder. Copy the dll files to where the wanted application sees them.

To install globally:

Copy LibOVRRT32XXXX.dll to c:\windows\syswow64

AND

Copy LibOVRRT64XXXX.dll to c:\windows\system32

Or run the install .bat file as administrator to do it for you.

To-Do List, in decreasing priority

  • 0.5 support
  • OpenGL support

Limitations

  • (Small) performance hit due to SDK changes that need workarounds
  • Probably no extended mode support ever
  • Highly likely no dx9 support ever
  • Smaller SDK details that are not possible anymore:
  • Maximum layer count is 16 instead of 32
  • Some layer types are not supported anymore

Building

Open and build LibOVRWrapper.sln in Visual Studio 2015
