Comment on The Steam Frame Is More Than Just Another VR Headset - Aftermath (Chris Person)

I loved my Lenovo Explorer WMR headset. When everyone else struggled to get much beyond 1080, this was 2880x1440 in 90hz. It also had the dots for tracking on the controllers, with 2 cameras mounted so you didn’t need room sensors. Beyond its time.
My 2x GTX670 SC 4GB in SLI ate every VR experience I threw a it!! I miss Pavlov VR, Assetto Corsa 2, and the freebie Steam game with mini stick figure people where you’re an archer shooting other stick people protecting your castle!! 🥹

In case you still have it laying around, a former Microsoft engineer released a free driver to Steam that makes these usable again, despite Windows having dropped support. It’ll get installed automatically the moment you connect it to your computer.

Can you tell me more, is this just for the Lenovo explorer, or other wmr headsets?

All of them. Here’s the driver:

Really the only downside is that Intel GPUs don’t work. I modified the driver of my laptop’s underpowered iGPU back in the day to get my Lenovo Explorer to work on it (just barely).

Just wanted to say thanks, this page mentions the ignition drivers for Linux. My Sim racing rig is the only PC that runs windows in my house purely because I have an HP reverb G2 headset for racing. this might finally get me completely off windows, which is a sensational feeling
