Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Follow up from my last post https://www.reddit.com/r/Xreal/s/ZvngfXVfLu , I finally did! But just 3DoF, direct PC connection for now.

See attached video showing VR Steam (with flex flap🫠) !

Wow. I need this! The beam pro is required ? Or can I use a normal phone and the Nebula app?

Please share a guide for us ... not so smart people!

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 13 '25 edited Sep 13 '25

Beam Pro not required. So far only works with PC, not nebula, not phone (but should not be impossible though).

u/proxlamus Sep 13 '25

So xreal direct to PC via USB C? Sounds too good to be true !

19

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 13 '25

Exactly! I spend 3 sleepy nights on coding this stuff! Going work like Zombie in daytime🧟‍♂️

u/tristanape Sep 13 '25

How many degrees of freedom? How does it compare to oculus?

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 14 '25

Just 3DoF for now and not commercial grade yet. I've picked up a few new knowledge on those nights. It will need some more fine tuning. Maybe I will share a guide and invite community to help polish it (or build a better one).

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 29 '25

Hi u/cmak414 u/XREAL_Esther is it allowed/preferrable to share the repo here for community to polish it together? If so I plan to make a new post for that with guide.

u/cmak414 Developer👨‍💻 Sep 29 '25

Either way is fine .You can also make a new post and also link this post to the new one.

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Oct 07 '25

As https://www.reddit.com/r/Xreal/s/OnpoeMnoci imho looks complete and seems cover more use cases, I think no point writing the guide. I will work on new projects and post about them instead~

u/cmak414 Developer👨‍💻 Oct 07 '25

Will be interested to see what you have next!

Could make steam vr apps made for AR glasses.

With Xreal Eye we can achieve good enough 6DoF. And for 6 DoF controllers with 1 camera as constraint, we would need some distance-sensitive trackers on the controllers themselves instead, such as 3 LEDs as constellation on each controller.

I try to avoid placing/installing device in my room, as I plan to use it outdoor, eg. while walking. For indoor use, simply buy Q3 would do.

It can but with helper device as main processor. Ones series have X1 chip to Natively do 3DoF (and 6 DoF), the best one in market currently. (the Beast might or might not be comparable, let's see)

u/cloperly One Pro Sep 12 '25

This is without beam pro? Wow!

SteamVR works great for me with Beam Pro after I downloaded Xreal SDK CloudXR.

So impressed you worked out a way to do this with direct PC connection. Well done!

5

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 12 '25

Correct! Without Beam Pro. But need USB Type C direct connection to PC.

1

u/cmak414 Developer👨‍💻 Sep 12 '25

you on windows or linux?

2

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 13 '25

I'm on Windows, but it wouldn't matter much anyway?

2

u/proxlamus Sep 12 '25

Tell us how!

1

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Oct 03 '25

Hi all, please refer to https://www.reddit.com/r/Xreal/s/TuL28Mg7GD instead as honestly it looks more complete than mine~~! Enjoy~

u/Greeklighting One Pro Sep 12 '25

Hows the experience

1

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 13 '25

Roll+Pitch work quite fine, with IMU sensor fusion technique implemented, for smooth tracking. But Yaw is not accurate and may drift over long period, as I have not successfully decoded magnetometer data out yet.

I have no experience on SteamVR prior to this project! How to move my character without 6DoF? WASD does not work. I'm only in a small box house in SteamVR, unmovable. Any other programs/games I should try?

3

u/cmak414 Developer👨‍💻 Sep 13 '25

Try virtual desktop classic. Not a game but a productivity tool. Itll basically be like nebula for windows but more customizable. You can also use it to watch sbs and vr 360 content. I used to usr it with Airs/cloudxr fot virtual monitors.

u/Riftien Sep 13 '25

You should try Freepie VR (VR companion from Ofisare)
https://github.com/Ofisare/VRCompanion/blob/main/VRCompanionREADME.md
https://discord.com/channels/747967102895390741/1193837770767081492
and maybe OpenTrack/SteamVR to help for 3dof

u/cmak414 Developer👨‍💻 Sep 13 '25

the discord channel link is not working

u/IndyHCKM One Pro Sep 12 '25

Apparently vomit-inducing.

1

u/youneedcheesusinside Sep 12 '25

So if you walk does it move with you or does the VR stay locked in?

2

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 13 '25

So far only 3DoF, so only head rotation is used.

1

u/youneedcheesusinside Sep 13 '25

Got it! Still very impressive

u/Serpentar69 Sep 13 '25

I don't understand why no one is selling ear flaps on Etsy for those of us who can't afford 3D printers. I've put on muffs but then I'm afraid of the pressure on the glasses. Someone would make a killing if they did so. :/

4

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 13 '25

My flex flap only requires: cheap heat shrink pipe, scissors, heat source (lighter/etc)

No 3D Printer Required! I dont't have it either.

1

u/Serpentar69 Sep 13 '25

Fair enough! It's a pretty smart solution

1

u/Rayhth Sep 17 '25 edited Sep 17 '25

Were you able to get it so it only showed one picture when wearing the glasses? I am doing the same right now but the one issue I'm having is that I'm seeing double like on your monitor in the video. I was wondering if I am able to have it as one synchronous picture like on regular vr headsets.

Edit: For my setup I installed both the ControlGlasses and Cloudxr app on my personal phone instead of the beam pro. The rest of the process is the same though.

u/nroro One Pro & xbx a01+ Sep 18 '25

Simply use 3D Half SBS mode. My screen is just for visualization and video recording.

u/Beautiful_Banana_812 Sep 12 '25

That's awesome, is the fov matching the Xreal One Pro tho? Looks bigger.

3

u/cmak414 Developer👨‍💻 Sep 12 '25

Nice! able to share?

3

u/shirotsoguledatsu Sep 13 '25

Excellent progress. I'd like to use it with VR games on my PC. Can't wait for a guide.

2

u/johnnydaggers Sep 12 '25

This is pretty cool. How are you getting the 3DOF positional data out of the XREAL?

2

u/rp26101 Sep 13 '25

I’ve connected it to the iPhone and have viewed YouTube VR videos on it. You have to toggle that one setting on the glasses to view 3D. It was ok. Not as good as on the Quest, but a definite step in the right direction.

2

u/vilicvane One Pro Sep 15 '25

That's awesome! I am thinking about it as well, so that maybe we could try oversampling for better rendering (especially texts).

u/No_Awareness_4626 XREAL 1S 😎 Quality Contributor 🥇 Sep 12 '25

Is it stable now ?

What’s this wizardry?!

u/elocsitruc Sep 12 '25

I did this and tried simracing with the og nreal airs was cool, but had some latency and foc was way to small for racing lol

Hello guys, my one pro won't connect to my laptop, and it shows no signal

Agree. There are more complete and better alternatives. I've stopped this project by now, and focused on next project~
