CS_SteamVR_Status

If SteamVR crashes when turning on the ContactSheet add-on

Please try installing the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package from this page (external link) (opens new window) as it may resolve the crash.

  1. Verify that controller input and hand tracking are working in various SteamVR content.

Regarding Controller Input

While the appearance in SteamVR is that of an Index controller, controller input adheres to Quest2/3/Pro controller standards. Specifically:

  • SteamVR Trigger and Grip Input

    • Input detection occurs only when pressing the Trigger/Grip buttons on the Quest2/3/Pro controllers
    • Holding only the ContactSheet itself will not register Trigger and Grip inputs

  • SteamVR ThumbPad Input

  • Using the touchpad (thumbrest) of the Quest controller and the thumb sensor of the ContactSheet,you can input trackpad touches and pressure.

    • When touching the touchpad: Touch=ON, Pressure=0
    • When touching the thumb sensor of the ContactSheet: Touch=ON, Pressure=1

Regarding Gestures in VRChat

  • Various Gestures and Input Specifications
    • (Excluding the thumb) ContactSheet sensor: Bending from the index finger to the middle of the little finger
    • Quest2/3/Pro controller's Trigger: Bending from the middle of the index finger to a full grip
    • Quest2/3/Pro controller's Grip: Bending from the middle of the middle finger to a full grip
    • Quest2/3/Pro controller's A/B/Joystick touch sensors: Thumb bending
    • (For Fist) GestureWeight value: Controlled by the Trigger amount on the Quest2/3/Pro controller

Regarding Switching Between ContactSheet + Quest2/3/Pro Controller ⇔ Quest2/3/Pro Controller Alone

  • DivingStation ContactSheet Main Screen > Tab Menu > Devices > Advanced Settings > Use as main controller

    • Even if the above check is removed, it will not be recognized as a Quest2/3/Pro controller alone, and the controller will be disabled.

  • In DivingStation, switch the SteamVR driver installation item in step 13 to Install, and disable the driver

  • In DivingStation, you can enable the switch between ContactSheet and Quest2/3/Pro controller alone based on the connection status of the ContactSheet by checking "Enable controller switching when using VR" from Devices > Advanced Settings.
