Python wrapper for Oculus VR SDK.

Project description

python-ovrsdk
=============

### Cross-platform wrapper for the Oculus VR SDK C API

Actually, it's not terribly cross-platform, yet. It's only supported
on windows because the current release of the SDK is only available
for Windows. As soon as Linux and OSX becomes available, I'll be updating
it to support them.

### Installation
Keep it simple. Download the package and drop it in your project. Done.

### Use

```python
from ovrsdk import *

ovr_Initialize()
hmd = ovrHmd_Create(0)
hmdDesc = ovrHmdDesc()
ovrHmd_GetDesc(hmd, byref(hmdDesc))
print hmdDesc.ProductName
ovrHmd_StartSensor( \
hmd, ovrHmdCap_Orientation | ovrHmdCap_YawCorrection |
ovrHmdCap_Position | ovrHmdCap_LowPersistence,
ovrHmdCap_Orientation
)

while True:
ss = ovrHmd_GetSensorState(hmd, 0.0)
pose = ss.Predicted.Pose
print "%10f %10f %10f %10f" % ( \
pose.Orientation.w,
pose.Orientation.x,
pose.Orientation.y,
pose.Orientation.z
)

ovrHmd_Destroy(hmd)
ovr_Shutdown()
```
