Note:
The Oculus firmware limits bandwidth for the DK2’s built-in
USB port, which harms the controller’s performance. We recommend
using the free cable extender bundled with the mount to connect
the controller directly to the computer. The current mount will
work for the Oculus Rift DK1 and DK2, while additional adhesive
strips may be required for the Oculus Rift CV1.
Software Setup
- Download the Orion SDK and run the installer bundled with the package.
- Click “Settings…” from the new Leap Motion system tray icon, go to the Troubleshooting tab, and select Recalibrate Device. If you can’t recalibrate to 90% or greater, see our calibration tips. This is necessary for optimal VR tracking.
- On the General tab, check Allow Images. This allows apps to access the infrared video passthrough. (See example here)
- Download the Oculus Rift Runtime 0.8.0 and run the installer. (Note: some older demos may require older versions of the runtime.)

VR Design 101
Forget what you know about traditional user interface design. It’s time to experiment and create in ways that previously existed only in the pages of science fiction.
