I usually want to use a physical controller in virtual reality. Thus, saying "Start" or pressing "Ctrl + 8" is read by the oculus software as pressing the Start button on a Xbox 360 controller.
UCR remaps the shortcut "Ctrl + 8" to the button on the vJoy controller which is recognized as the "Start" button on the virtual Xbox 360 controller created by XOutput. I used XOutput to remap the vJoy controller's input to a virtual Xbox 360 controller which is recognized by the Oculus software.įor example, when I say the word "Start", my computer types the shortcut "Ctrl + 8". The keyboard shortcut being activated from the voice command was remapped by UCR to input for the vJoy controller. With some voice recognition software, I created a voice command to type a keyboard shortcut. In order to simultaneously control the Oculus Rift using CV1's microphone and a keyboard, here is the chain I used:
UNIVERSAL CONTROL REMAPPER NOT WORKING FOR FREE
Here are a few options for free voice recognition software: XOutput -an application which can turn the controllers recognized by your computer ( including vJoy controllers) Into Xbox 360 controllers UCR or Universal control remapper -an application which can remap keyboard shortcuts, controller input, and mouse input to "feed" the virtual controller created by vJoy. VJoy - a driver which can install virtual game controllers on a computer. Here is the list of free software I am using: A couple weeks ago I stumbled across some powerful software which simultaneously allows me to use voice commands, keyboard shortcuts, a mouse, and almost any non-Xbox controller to control the Oculus Rift. I have been searching for a method to control the Oculus Rift CV1 without needing to pick up a remote or Xbox controller every time.
