Hi Brekel,

I am trying to record VR interactions for a research study using OpenVR Recorder. Exporting motion and finger tracking data works nicely, but I can't seem to get it to record button presses or controller axis data. The corresponding columns in the output files are always zero despite the buttons showing up correctly in the data table when pressed. Buttons also don't seem to show up in the FBX or the OSC stream (which is what I'm most interested in). Am I perhaps missing something? Otherwise, could you please take a look? Happy to send sample recordings if needed. Thank you!

Cheers,
Immo

Hi,

Unfortunately it seems OpenVR broke their button readout whenever skeletons are requested.
The input system is quite a mess and documentation/samples are very unclear, so I'm not sure yet on to fix this or if it's a bug in the SDK.

I noticed this as well recently, is this something where we could possibly use an older SteamVR and/or Brekel version to get around it?

Thanks as always,

James
