htc vive游戏开发

If you want to experience true virtual reality, with the ability to move around as you play, the HTC Vive is as good as it gets right now. Here’s everything you need to know about setting it up so you can get started playing.

如果您想体验真正的虚拟现实，并且能够随身玩耍，那么HTC Vive就像现在一样出色。 这是您需要设置的所有信息，因此可以开始播放。

The Vive takes a bit of time to set up, and there are a lot of different components. But it’s actually quite easy, as long as you follow the instructions–and do a bit of planning before you start.

Vive需要花费一些时间来设置，并且有很多不同的组件。 但这实际上很容易，只要您按照说明进行操作，并在开始之前进行一些计划即可。

你需要什么 (What You’ll Need)

Everyone’s setup will be a little different, so what you need will vary from person to person. We highly recommend reading “Step One” of this guide below, which will help you determine what, if anything, you’ll need beyond the Vive itself. But to give a quick overview, you will need:

每个人的设置都会有所不同，因此您所需的内容因人而异。 我们强烈建议您阅读以下本指南的“第一步”，这将帮助您确定Vive本身之外还需要什么。 但是，快速概述一下，您将需要：

• An HTC Vive, obviously. The Vive comes with most of the accessories you need, but not all of them.

  显然是HTC Vive 。 Vive随附您需要的大多数配件，但并非全部。

• A powerful gaming PC. Playing games on the Vive is more demanding than playing normal two-dimensional games, which means you’ll need a beefy rig to run them. You can see HTC’s recommended specs here, as well as buy compatible PCs if you don’t already have one. If you’re more of a builder, Logical Increments has a good guide to building VR-ready PCs. You can also run a few tests on your PC to see if its hardware is powerful enough.

  功能强大的游戏PC 。 在Vive上玩游戏比玩普通的二维游戏要求更高，这意味着您需要强大的装备才能运行它们。 您可以在此处查看HTC的推荐规格 ，如果还没有，则购买兼容的PC。 如果您更喜欢构建器，那么Logical Increments可以为构建支持VR的PC提供很好的指南 。 您还可以在PC上运行一些测试，以查看其硬件是否足够强大。

• Ample floor space. If you want to use the Vive’s room-scale abilities (so you can move around while playing), you’ll need some empty space in your home. It can be as small as 5 feet x 6.5 feet, but the bigger the better, with Vive supporting spaces up to 15 feet x 15 feet. (We’ll talk about this more in the next section.)

  足够的地面空间 。 如果要使用Vive的房间规模功能(以便在玩耍时可以四处走动)，则房屋中将需要一些空白空间。 它可以小到5英尺x 6.5英尺，但越大越好，Vive支撑空间最大为15英尺x 15英尺。 (我们将在下一节中对此进行更多讨论。)

• Extra cables or extension cords (for some people). If your play area is far away from your PC, the included cables may not be long enough. The included cables can reach about 18 feet. If your play area is further away, you may need a longer HDMI cable, a USB extension cable, and extension cords for the many power adapters.

  额外的电缆或延长线 (对于某些人)。 如果您的游戏区域距离您的PC较远，则随附的电缆可能不够长。 随附的电缆可以达到约18英尺。 如果您的游戏场地较远，则可能需要更长的HDMI电缆 ， USB延长线和许多电源适配器的延长线。

• Tripods, light stands, or other mounting accessories for the base stations (for some people). The base stations can mount on your wall, but if you don’t have walls nearby–or if you rent an apartment and aren’t allowed to drill into your walls–you may need to mount them using tripods, photography light stands, or other similar hardware. Make sure they can reach 6.5 feet high off the ground. Tip: Buy them from Craigslist to save some money.

  用于基站的三脚架，灯架或其他安装配件 (某些人)。 基站可以安装在您的墙上，但是如果您附近没有墙壁-或者如果您租用公寓并且不允许在墙壁上钻Kong-您可能需要使用三脚架，摄影灯架或其他类似的硬件。 确保它们可以达到离地面6.5英尺的高。 提示：从Craigslist购买它们可以节省一些钱。

This list isn’t necessarily exhaustive, but it should give you a good idea of what you might need to get. Even if you don’t have your Vive yet, I highly recommend reading through the instructions below so you know what other accessories you might need. There’s nothing worse than setting up the Vive only to find you’re missing one measly cable, and have to run to Best Buy before you can start playing.

此列表不一定详尽无遗，但它应该使您对可能需要获得的东西有了一个很好的了解。 即使您还没有Vive，我也强烈建议您阅读以下说明，以了解您可能还需要其他配件。 没有什么比设置Vive更糟糕的了，只是发现您缺少一根细小的电缆，并且必须开始运行Best Buy才能开始播放。

第一步：规划游乐区 (Step One: Plan Your Play Area)

You can play Vive games seated or standing, but if you’re buying the Vive, there’s a good chance you’re looking for room-scale play, which allows you to move around in the space.

您可以坐着或站着玩Vive游戏，但是如果您购买Vive，则很有可能正在寻找房间规模的游戏，这可以让您在空间中移动。

By far, the most difficult and time consuming part of the process is the initial planning of this space. If you have a big house with lots of empty room, you’ll be better off, but for those of us with smaller houses and apartments with lots of furniture, it may take some creativity. The good news is, you can start this process before your Vive even ships.

到目前为止，此过程中最困难且最耗时的部分是此空间的初始计划。 如果您有一间大的房子，里面有很多空房间，那么您的生活会更好一些，但是对于我们这些拥有较小房子和公寓的人来说，这些家具和家具很多，这可能需要一些创造力。 好消息是，您可以在Vive发货之前就开始此过程。

As we mentioned above, your space can be as small as 5 feet x 6.5 feet, but the bigger the better–with Vive supporting spaces up to 15 feet x 15 feet. You don’t want to have to move furniture around if you don’t have to, but you’ll have to make do with the space you have.

如上所述，您的空间可以小到5英尺x 6.5英尺，但越大越好-Vive支撑空间最大为15英尺x 15英尺。 您不必不必移动家具，但是您必须利用自己的空间。

Don’t be afraid to get a little creative. I, for example, did not have nearly enough space next to my gaming PC, since my office is quite small, and opens into the furnished dining room:

不要害怕获得一点创意。 例如，由于我的办公室很小，并且开到带家具的饭厅，因此我的游戏PC旁边没有足够的空间：

Instead of moving furniture around in the dining room, which would have been a huge hassle, I went looking elsewhere. There was a decently-sized space outside said dining room, near the front door. It’s a bit far from the PC, but with a longer HDMI cable and a USB extension cable, I was able to stretch the Vive headset far enough for it to work.

我没有将家具摆放在饭厅里，这本来是一件很麻烦的事，而是去了别处。 有一个体面大小的空间之外说餐厅，前门附近。 它距离PC有点远，但是使用更长的HDMI电缆和USB延长电缆 ，我能够将Vive耳机拉远到足以使其工作的程度。

I measured the area and was able to eke out a rectangular space of 8 feet x 6 feet, which works very well for the games I’ve played so far.

我测量了面积，并得出了一个8英尺x 6英尺的矩形空间，这对于到目前为止我玩过的游戏非常有效。

As for the base stations, you’ll need to mount them at least 6.5 feet high, on opposite sides of the play area, facing each other:

至于基站，您需要将它们至少高6.5英尺，安装在游戏区域的相对侧，彼此相对：

I had a wall on one side of my play area and a kitchen island on the other. So I was able to mount one base station to the wall, and set a tripod on the kitchen island for the other. Again, not completely ideal, but it would work.

我在游乐区的一侧有一堵墙，另一侧有一个厨房岛。 因此，我能够将一个基站安装到墙上，并在厨房岛上放置一个三脚架来安装另一个。 同样，这不是完全理想的，但它可以工作。

(Mine are also a little lower than 6.5 feet, and they work fine–but HTC insists on 6.5 feet, so do as I say, not as I do.)

(我的高度也低于6.5英尺，而且工作正常-但HTC坚持6.5英尺，所以请按照我说的做，而不是像我那样做。)

第二步：打开Vive包装 (Step Two: Unpack the Vive)

Next, I recommend unpacking your Vive. We aren’t going to start hooking things up just yet, but it’s a good idea to unpack the Vive and unwrap its many, many accessories so you don’t have to later. In the box, you’ll find:

接下来，我建议打开Vive的包装。 我们暂时还不会开始挂钩，但是打开Vive的包装并打开很多很多配件是个好主意，这样您以后就不必再挂了。 在框中，您将找到：

• Two base stations, along with some mounting hardware, a long sync cable, and two power adapters: The mounting hardware will allow you to screw the base stations into your wall. If you can’t do that, you’ll need to buy a tripod or stand them on some boxes or something. The sync cable is only necessary if there’s an obstruction between the two, but most users won’t need it.

  两个基站 ，以及一些安装硬件 ，   长同步电缆和两个电源适配器 ：安装硬件将使您可以将基站拧入墙壁。 如果无法做到这一点，则需要购买三脚架或将其放在一些盒子或其他物品上。 仅当两者之间有障碍物时才需要同步电缆，但大多数用户不需要。

• Two controllers, along with two microUSB cables and two USB power adapters for charging: They should come with a partial charge, but you should plug these into the wall now so they’re all charged up and ready.

  两个控制器 ，以及两根microUSB电缆和两个USB电源适配器，用于充电：它们应该带有部分电量，但是您现在应该将它们插入墙上，以便它们都已充满电并准备就绪。

• The Vive headset: Awwww yeah. Put this aside for now. It comes with an alternate face cushion for narrow faces.

  Vive耳机 ：是的。 现在暂时搁置。 它带有一个备用脸垫，可用于狭窄的脸部。

• The link box, which connects to the included HDMI cable, USB cable, and link box power adapter. Remember, if you’re playing far away from your PC, you’ll want some alternate cables or extension cables to go with these.

  链接盒 ，它连接到随附的HDMI电缆 ， USB电缆和链接盒电源适配器 。 请记住，如果您在远离PC的地方玩游戏，则需要一些备用电缆或扩展电缆。

• Earbuds: They’re fine, I guess, but I prefer to use a nice pair of open headphones. (Seriously, even cheap ones will make a huge difference.)

  耳塞 ：不错，我想，但我更喜欢使用一对不错的开放式耳机 。 (严重的是， 即使便宜的产品也会有很大的不同。)

Gather up all the accessories and set them aside in little groups, matching the correct cables with the correct part of the Vive setup. It’ll make your life easier in the next couple steps.

收集所有附件，并分组放置，将正确的电缆与Vive设置的正确部分相匹配。 在接下来的几个步骤中，它将使您的生活更轻松。

第三步：安装Vive软件 (Step Three: Install the Vive Software)

You could set up all your hardware now, but the Vive software will walk you through it step by step, so you might as well install it now. Head to htcvive.com/setup and click the “Download Vive Setup” button. Double-click the resulting installer to begin the process.

您现在可以设置所有硬件，但是Vive软件将逐步指导您完成安装，因此您最好现在就安装它。 转到htcvive.com/setup ，然后单击“下载Vive设置”按钮。 双击生成的安装程序以开始该过程。

Click “Next” through the next few windows until you reach the following screen. Ensure that Vive found the correct folder for your Steam games, and click the “Install” button.

在接下来的几个窗口中单击“下一步”，直到到达以下屏幕。 确保Vive为您的Steam游戏找到了正确的文件夹，然后单击“安装”按钮。

During the installation process, you may be prompted to log into your HTC account, as well as your Steam account (if you aren’t logged into the Steam client already). When it’s finished, it will install the SteamVR software within Steam.

在安装过程中，系统可能会提示您登录HTC帐户以及Steam帐户(如果尚未登录Steam客户端)。 完成后，它将在Steam中安装SteamVR软件。

第四步：设置基站 (Step Four: Set Up Your Base Stations)

Next, the Vive software will walk you through setting up your base stations. This will be a little different for everyone, but the Vive software can give you some general guidelines, as can HTC’s official setup video, embedded below. I highly, highly recommend watching it.

接下来，Vive软件将引导您完成基站的设置。 每个人的情况都会有所不同，但是Vive软件可以为您提供一些一般性指导，下面嵌入的HTC官方设置视频也可以。 我强烈建议观看。

You’ll need to mount the base stations at least 6.5 feet high, either directly on the wall or onto a tripod, bookshelf, or other surface. Angle them 30 to 45 degrees downward. They should be directly across from one another in your play area.

您需要将基站至少高6.5英尺，直接安装在墙上或三脚架，书架或其他表面上。 将它们向下倾斜30至45度。 他们应该在您的游戏区域彼此对面。

If you’re using the included mounting hardware, screw it into the hole on the back of the base station, then tighten the nut to secure it. Use the included wall anchors and screws to mount it to your wall. You can see more of this process in the video above.

如果您使用的是随附的安装硬件，请将其拧入基站背面的Kong中，然后拧紧螺母以将其固定。 使用随附的墙锚和螺钉将其安装到墙上。 您可以在上面的视频中看到更多有关此过程的信息。

If you’re using a tripod, screw the tripod’s plate into the hole on the bottom of the base station, like so. Then clip it into the tripod like you would a camera.

如果您使用的是三脚架，则将三脚架的板拧入基站底部的Kong中，就像这样。 然后像将相机一样将其夹入三脚架。

Once mounted, plug the base stations into the wall. They should light up and attempt to detect one another. If all goes well, you’ll see a green light at the top of each. You’ll also see a “channel” letter on the side: “b” on one, and “c” on the other. If you don’t, press the channel button on the back until you do.

安装完成后，将基站插入墙壁。 他们应该点亮并试图互相发现。 如果一切顺利，您将在每个按钮的顶部看到绿灯。 您还会在侧面看到一个“频道”字母：一个字母为“ b”，另一个字母为“ c”。 如果不这样做，请按背面的通道按钮，直到您这样做为止。

If one of the base stations has a purple status light, that means it can’t see the other. You’ll need to connect them manually with the long sync cable included with the Vive, and change the channel to “A”.

如果其中一个基站的状态指示灯为紫色，则表示看不到另一个。 您需要使用Vive随附的长同步电缆手动连接它们，并将通道更改为“ A”。

第五步：通过链接盒将耳机插入计算机 (Step Five: Plug the Headset Into Your Computer with the Link Box)

Next, hook up the headset. You’ll notice that the headset has a long 3-in-1 cable coming out the back. Plug those three cables into the orange side of the link box…

接下来，挂上耳机。 您会注意到耳机的背面有一条长的三合一电缆。 将这三根电缆插入链接盒的橙色侧…

…then plug the HDMI cable, USB cable, and power cable into the back of the link box.

…然后将HDMI电缆，USB电缆和电源线插入链接盒的背面。

Lastly, plug the HDMI cable into your PC’s graphics card, the USB cable into your computer, and the power adapter into the wall.

最后，将HDMI电缆插入PC的图形卡，将USB电缆插入计算机，将电源适配器插入墙壁。

NOTE: The Vive uses USB 3.0 cables to connect to your computer, so if you have a USB 3.0 port, that would be ideal. However, many people have had issues with USB 3.0–particularly on older computers with crappy USB 3.0 chipsets–so if you’d rather start with a more reliable connection, USB 2.0 should work fine. I use USB 2.0 and have had no issues with my Vive so far.

注：Vive使用USB 3.0电缆连接到计算机，因此，如果您有USB 3.0端口，那将是理想的选择。 但是，许多人在使用USB 3.0时遇到了问题，尤其是在使用笨拙的USB 3.0芯片组的较旧计算机上，因此，如果您希望以更可靠的连接开始，则USB 2.0应该可以正常工作。 我使用USB 2.0，到目前为止，我的Vive没有任何问题。

第六步：校准硬件 (Step Six: Calibrate Your Hardware)

When you’ve gone through the rest of the setup, click the “Launch SteamVR” button in the Vive software.

完成其余设置后，请单击Vive软件中的“启动SteamVR”按钮。

If it has trouble launching, you may need to restart your computer–I did. Just restart, launch Steam, then click the “VR” icon in the upper right-hand corner of the window. This is how you’ll launch SteamVR in the future.

如果启动时遇到问题，则可能需要重新启动计算机(我确实如此)。 只需重新启动，启动Steam，然后单击窗口右上角的“ VR”图标即可。 将来，这就是您启动SteamVR的方式。

When SteamVR launches, you’ll see this window at the bottom of your screen. Green icons along the bottom indicate the component has been found, grey icons have not been found.

SteamVR启动时，您将在屏幕底部看到此窗口。 底部的绿色图标指示已找到组件，而未找到灰色图标。

If any of the icons are grey, make sure the corresponding components are set up properly and placed on the floor in your play area. You may have to press the bottom button on the controllers for them to turn on and connect.

如果任何图标为灰色，请确保正确设置了相应的组件并将其放在游戏区域的地板上。 您可能必须按下控制器上的底部按钮才能打开并连接它们。

Hover over the icons to see if there any firmware updates available. If there are, click the “Update Available” link and go through the prompts to download and install new firmware before continuing.

将鼠标悬停在图标上以查看是否有可用的固件更新。 如果存在，请单击“更新可用”链接，然后按照提示下载并安装新固件，然后再继续。

The Room Setup window should have opened automatically with SteamVR. If not, double click on “SteamVR Room Setup” in your list of Steam games to start it.

SteamVR应该会自动打开“房间设置”窗口。 如果没有，请在您的Steam游戏列表中双击“ SteamVR Room Setup”以启动它。

We’re assuming you want to set up room-scale play, so click “Room-Scale” on the first screen.

我们假设您要设置房间缩放播放，因此在第一个屏幕上单击“房间缩放”。

Next, you’ll be prompted to stand inside the play area and locate your monitor with the controller. This really should say point at your computer tower, not monitor–it determines the default direction you’ll face when playing games by setting your starting position the opposite direction of your computer. That way, the cables travel out the back of your head and behind you, toward your computer.

接下来，系统将提示您站在游戏区域内，并使用控制器找到显示器。 这实际上应该指向计算机塔台 ，而不是显示器，它通过将起始位置设置为与计算机相反的方向来确定玩游戏时要面对的默认方向。 这样一来，电缆就从您的后脑勺向后延伸到计算机。

So point the controller at your PC tower, and press and hold the trigger button until it stops vibrating.

因此，将控制器对准PC塔，然后按住触发按钮，直到其停止振动。

Next, place your controllers on the floor and click “Calibrate Floor”.

接下来，将您的控制器放在地板上，然后单击“校准地板”。

Lastly, you’ll set your play area. This is pretty simple, and the on-screen animation will give you an idea of what to do. Essentially: click Next, grab a controller, and drag it around the perimeter of your play area while holding the trigger button. Be careful to keep the controller outside the bounds of any furniture or walls–the more accurate you are here, the less you’ll bump your fists into the walls while playing (which I’ve already done twice).

最后，您将设置游戏区域。 这非常简单，并且屏幕上的动画将使您知道该怎么做。 本质上：单击“下一步”，抓住控制器，然后在按住触发按钮的同时将其拖动到游戏区域的周围。 注意将控制器保持在任何家具或墙壁的边界之外—您在这里越精确，在玩耍时拳头撞到墙壁上的次数就越少(我已经做过两次)。

Again, see HTC’s instructional video higher up in this post for a more visual demonstration of the process.

同样，请在这篇文章的上方观看HTC的指导视频，以更直观地了解该过程。

When you’re done, it will calculate the largest rectangular play area from the perimeter you selected. Click Next to accept it and move on.

完成后，它将根据您选择的周长计算最大的矩形游戏区域。 单击下一步接受它并继续。

第七步：开始玩！ (Step Seven: Start Playing!)

At this point, you should be all set up! Yes, it takes a little while, but it’s well worth it. Put the headset on, plug your headphones into the port on the headset, and start the SteamVR tutorial. Even the tutorial is pretty amazing, and you’ll be playing games in no time–the tutorial will show you how to launch them. (If you haven’t bought any games yet, I recommend The Lab and Space Pirate Trainer.)

至此，您应该一切就绪！ 是的，这需要一些时间，但值得。 戴上耳机，将耳机插入耳机上的端口，然后启动SteamVR教程。 甚至本教程也非常出色，您将立即玩游戏-本教程将向您展示如何启动游戏。 (如果您尚未购买任何游戏，建议您使用Lab和Space Pirate Trainer 。)

更好的Vive体验的提示 (Tips for a Better Vive Experience)

I’ve only been using the Vive for a few days, but I’ve already learned a few things that have made the experience much more pleasurable. Here are some things to keep in mind:

我只使用Vive几天，但是我已经学到了一些东西，可以使体验变得更加愉快。 这里要记住一些事情：

• Don’t forget to take the protective plastic off of everything, including the lenses inside the headset. I didn’t notice the plastic was there for a couple hours.
  别忘了从所有东西上取下保护性塑料，包括耳机内的镜头。 我几个小时都没注意到塑料了。

• If you find that the Vive is too blurry, try this: don’t let the headset sit on your nose like a pair of glasses. The foam along the top should be in the middle of your forehead, with the bottom foam sitting on top of your cheekbones. This will put the “sweet spot” in the center of your vision. (Thanks to RipeManlyMango on Reddit for this tip.)

  如果发现Vive太模糊，请尝试以下操作：不要让耳机像一副眼镜一样放在您的鼻子上。 顶部的泡沫应位于前额的中间 ，底部的泡沫应位于che骨的顶部。 这会将“最佳位置”置于您的视觉中心。 (感谢Reddit上的RippleManlyMango的技巧。)

• You can also adjust the lens distance and IPD of the headset to eliminate blurriness (and make it more comfortable if you wear glasses). First, pop the grey rings on the side of the headset “out”, then twist them to move the lenses closer or further from your face. Push them back in when you’re satisfied, and twist the small knob on the right-hand side of the headset until you get the sharpest image.
  您还可以调节镜头的距离和耳机的IPD消除模糊(并使您戴眼镜时更舒适)。 首先，将耳机侧面的灰色环“弹出”，然后旋转它们以使镜头距离您的脸部更近或更远。 满意时将它们推回去，然后旋转耳机右侧的小旋钮，直到获得最清晰的图像。

• Adjust all three of the straps (top, left, and right) when putting on your headset. This will make it immensely  more comfortable.

  戴上耳机时，请调整所有三个皮带(上，左和右)。 这将使其更加舒适。

• If you have mirrors in your play area, or even a reflective TV screen, you may need to cover them with a blanket to get better tracking–otherwise, your base stations may get confused by their own reflection.
  如果您在游戏区中有镜子，甚至有反射的电视屏幕，则可能需要盖好毯子以得到更好的跟踪，否则，基站可能会因自身的反射而感到困惑。
• In SteamVR’s settings, you can turn on the camera to see an outline of your room and furniture when you get close to the chaperone bounds. There are a lot of settings to adjust here, and it may only work reliably with USB 3.0, but it’s there if you want it (and are prone to bumping into things while you play.)
  在SteamVR的设置中，当您接近伴侣边界时，您可以打开相机查看房间和家具的轮廓。 这里有很多设置需要调整，它只能与USB 3.0一起可靠地工作，但是如果您愿意的话，它就可以在这里使用(并且在玩耍时容易碰到东西。)
• My headset audio seemed to work fine, but you may need to go into SteamVR’s Settings > Audio and change the playback device to HTC-VIVE when SteamVR is active, and back to your normal speakers when SteamVR is exited.
  我的耳机音频似乎工作正常，但是您可能需要进入SteamVR的“设置”>“音频”，并在SteamVR处于活动状态时将播放设备更改为HTC-VIVE，而在退出SteamVR时将其更改为普通扬声器。

If you have any other tips, feel free to add them in the comments and we’ll include them in this list!

如果您还有其他提示，请随时在评论中添加它们，我们会将它们包括在此列表中！
