Vive is up and running…

Over the weekend I got the base stations mounted on a pair of light stands (stole ball heads from two tripods to make this happen…dedicated ball heads are coming). I swapped my primary monitor from HDMI to DisplayPort and then connected up the junction box. Successfully updated the various parts of the system firmware (I couldn’t get the controllers to sync until I did this). Once everything was up to date the process went smoothly. I stuck the ear buds that came with the head-set somewhere so no sound, but still made for a very cool experience.

Now comes the hard part as I need to get programming (I’ll grab the free software included in the package and play with it, but…). If I can simply walk around a cube I created, hovering in the air in front of me, I’ll consider that a win on the next step.
