Starting with LPVR 4.8 the Varjo version of LPVR-CAD and LPVR-DUO user can use a global system default configuration and settings made by each user will be written to their own file. This mechanism is used by default for LPVR-DUO as the more complex configuration cannot be reflected by a GUI inside Varjo Base, but in LPVR-CAD the user has to opt in to the mechanism by creating appropriate files.

LPVR-CAD

The GUI inside Varjo Base is provided by default. To disable it, create either the global configuration file %ProgramData%/Varjo/VarjoTracking/Plugins/LP-Research/LPVR-CAD-Varjo/configuration/settings.json or the per-user configuration file %LocalAppData%/LP-Research/LPVR-DUO-Varjo/settings.json. The driver can then be configured from http://localhost:7119/ and changes to the configuration will be written to the per-user configuration file. If the per-user configuration file is found, it will always take precedence over the global configuration file. In that way, system administrators can provide a default which the users can customize.

Since these files don’t exist, we provide two default configurations:

  • default configuration for systems with ART tracking, and

  • default configuration for systems with OptiTrack tracking

Please remember to rename the files to settings.json and place them in the appropriate location. Before version 4.8.0, this functionality is not available.

LPVR-DUO

Upon installation of LPVR-DUO-Varjo the default configuration is created in the global configuration file %ProgramData%/Varjo/VarjoTracking/Plugins/LP-Research/LPVR-DUO-Varjo/configuration/settings.json, changes made by the user are stored in the per-user configuration file %LocalAppData%/LP-Research/LPVR-DUO-Varjo/settings.json. If the system administrator wants to make settings permanent for all users, they can make the changes in the web interface and then copy the per-user configuration file to the global configuration file location.

SteamVR

For SteamVR, the settings can be found in the following locations:

LPVR-CAD for SteamVR

%LocalAppData%\LP-Research\LPVR-CAD\driver\lpvr_cad\resources\configuration\settings.json

LPVR-DUO for SteamVR

%LocalAppData%\LP-Research\LPVR-DUO\driver\lpvr_duo\resources\configuration\settings.json
