This release marks the first release candidate for NOFC v0.3. It has not been tested extensively. Please report any issues to https://github.com/nanospork/NOFC/issues

Release Notes:

v0.3.0 RC1 - February 06, 2018

  • Release Candidate 1: This branch has not been extensively tested, but functions well during short-term testing. Please provide as much feed back as possible at https://github.com/nanospork/NOFC/issues

  • Complete rework of Windows version of Nolo-OSVR - we gave in and switched over to LYRobotix's "HIDAPI", which gives better tracking results than reading USB packets directly. Performance should be improved for Windows users on all versions of NOLO firmware.

    • You still should not install the official NOLO drivers.
    • The Linux version of the driver was updated with some attempts at reading velocity, but the stability is unknown.
    • Note that the headset marker button was NOT implemented in the new version of the driver. We're sorry if you miss this, but we just didn't have the time to work it in.

  • Implemented velocity tracking - Controllers now report velocity to SteamVR, meaning you can throw things in games, among other uses!

    • Throws specifically are sometimes poor, going the wrong direction or speed - if you can find any consistency to this behaviour, please report it at https://github.com/nanospork/NOFC/issues so we can find out what the cause is and improve on it.

  • Implemented ceiling mode - You can now use one of the NOFC v0.3 "ceiling" configs to use your NOLO basestation in ceiling mode with NOFC. This opens up the possibility of 360 degree tracking.

  • Implemented default marker offset - A default offset for the headset marker has been added.

    • This should reduce the feeling of the headset rotating incorrectly, as if it were on the end of a "turtle neck."
    • This offset can easily be edited by changing the "translate" array under "/NOFC/HeadTracker" in the config file.

This new configuration combines the Nolo-OSVR plugin, the OSVR-Fusion plugin, and the official SteamVR-OSVR driver for a more enjoyable experience using Nolo hardware with OSVR.

Please note that the dedicated community members working on NOFC have volunteered their time to make these improvements; please respect their efforts. You will probably encounter bugs and glitches - please report these to https://github.com/nanospork/NOFC/issues
