Pressing it again unlocks the view so that it rotates around the camera position itself.į5 key – can be used to zoom out the VR view through stages further away, then it toggles views centred on each corner before returning to the default VR view. Pressing F4 locks the VR mode camera onto the avatar head so it always shows directly in front of the gaze direction (which is a bit of an odd thing to work out what is happening – especially if you have used mouse wheel zoom in or out). Return the mouse to the centre of the screen to return to normal HMD directional view.į4 key – can be used to disable (and reenable) the movement of the VR mode view direction with head movement. This enables menus and HUD attachments to be more easily reached. If you move the mouse to one of the four corners or four sides of the screen the HMD view jumps to show that corner or side in VR mode. The Camera Controls floater has two extra buttons > to let you turn the angle at which your camera points. PRESS TAB key to enable and disable VR output. In the “Enable Debug Display” there are 2 values Rheight and Rwidth which should be your headset resolution. That is where Firestorm VR gets the aspect ratio for the HMD. Peter Kappler notes: On Firestorm VR initialisation SteamVR indicates the resolution your headset expects. This can be edited to change the TextureShift default lower and upper limits.

Peter Kappler (PWNED Magic in Second Life) has created a VR version of the Firestorm Viewer using OpenVR/SteamVR compatible with Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality and other VR headsets (HMDs). Most of the time this will work fine, but if you use extended BoM features please don’t use this viewer to log directly into a grid/region known to run on older 0.8.* server code. The version of the Firestorm viewer on which the latest Firestorm VR Mod 6.9 is based supports Bakes on Mesh in both Second Life and OpenSim.

Update: 2: Peter Kappler now has a home page for Firestorm VR Mod at – go there for the latest version and information.
