🏃 1. BodyWalkVR Test Room
We are introducing the BodyWalkVR Test Room — a dedicated VR environment where you can test all BodyWalkVR locomotion methods in real conditions, just like in an actual game.
Walk, tilt, step, and move around in a fully interactive VR space to verify your settings before jumping into a game.
Supports all BodyWalkVR locomotion types: torso tilt, step-based, phone tracking, SlimeVR, and more.
A great way to calibrate your setup and make sure everything feels right before playing.
Available as a separate free download — install it alongside BodyWalkVR to start testing immediately.
⚙️ 2. Quick Setup Improvements
The Quick Setup wizard has been significantly expanded to make configuration faster and more intuitive.
Torso Tilt Calibration Step
Added a dedicated calibration screen for all torso tilt locomotion profiles (Walk Types 1, 2, and 3).
Deadzone / Max Tilt Cutoff range slider — set your dead zone and maximum lean angle with a single dual-handle control.
Horizontal & Forward Sensitivity sliders — tune left/right and forward/backward sensitivity on the spot.
Live Output Visualizer — see your tracker movement in real time as you lean.
Reset Center Button — instantly recalibrate the torso center to your current stance.
START / STOP Controls in the Wizard
The wizard now shows a START / STOP button and program status message directly on the calibration and step settings screens.
Start or stop locomotion without leaving the setup to immediately feel the result.
OpenXR (In-Game) Source Available Everywhere
"OpenXR (In-Game)" tracker source is now available in all Quick Setup tracker dropdowns — not just the HMD screen.
🔧 3. SteamVR Hook — Update to Version 1.9
⚠️ If you are using the SteamVR Hook output mode, please update your hook driver to version 1.9.
Various stability and compatibility improvements.
To update: open the Plugins tab in BodyWalkVR → find SteamVR Hook → click Update.
🛠️ Additional Fixes
Installer: Added the audio folder to the installer package so that start/stop sounds play correctly after installation.
