Hi Józef,

The Vive controllers only work in VR mode. You could enable VR mode and just not put on the headset. The "vr roomCamera" command would allow showing the molecular graphics in the desktop window from a specific position which you would want to match your webcam's physical position in the VR space. And you will want to match the vr roomCamera field of view to the field of view of the webcam. Then you will have several problems. First, the hand controller cones won't line up perfectly with the video of the hand controllers -- there will be unpleasant lag. And without the VR headset on it will be very challenging to point at things. But you might as well put on the VR headset to solve that. Then it should work -- you can use the VR with webcam AR. This is just what I did with VR plus a depth sensing camera except that the depth camera also can blend the depth correctly.

Hi Tom,

Would it be possible to use Vive controllers without going into the vr mode but rather during the webcam session?

Thanks, Józef
