FAQ
As of now the Bridge software supports both the Vive and the VivePro HMD's from HTC.
- Yes, you can download the latest version of BRIDGE software here. Decompress the zip file to any folder of your choice and run
Logitech_Bridge.exein the software folder. To uninstall the software, simply delete the folder, as all software components are gathered here.
No, it should be very straightforward to get set up. As with any new keyboard, BRIDGE may feel a little strange at first, but give it a little time and you’ll be typing naturally before you know it.
For now, just the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum is supported by this SDK.
As we’re still in development, we’ve just included a few sample keyboard skins, but we are working towards opening the keyboard creation process to everyone. Feel free to get in touch with us with any idea/request on this topic - we’re excited about the potential to contextually augment your keyboard and would love to hear your ideas.
- luminance mode is a segmentation of the hands as captured by the HTC Vive camera. The segmented hand image is overlaid on top of a tracked readable virtual model of the keyboard, and the combination of these is overlaid on any VR app.
- RG Segmentation mode is an experimental mode intended to provide better support for users in conditions where the default segmentation is not working. This mode uses the difference of the color between the keyboard and your hands (i.e. a “hue” based segmentation) as opposed as the brightness-based used in the Hands segmentation. This may make a difference in situations where the lighting is not uniform and there’s a low contrast between the hand skin tone and the keyboard. We are working hard to improve this experience so that it works for everyone across all environmental conditions.
-
Passthrough mode is a tracked window to reality, where you can see your real keyboard and hands with no post-processing. It’s only intended as a reference mode.
Yes, you can associate a new tracker at any time. First, pair your tracker with SteamVR then open the Logitech_Bridge.exe app and briefly (3-5s) shake the new tracker, as soon as this is detected, the new tracker will be the one to be used with your keyboard.
Yes. As the keyboard is visible within any app that uses SteamVR you may wish to hide the keyboard for certain experiences. There’s a toggle switch labelled Show Keyboard, on the General Settings section of the WebUI.
Yes. We find a lot of touch-typists are curious to try this mode, although our research findings suggest the importance of visible hands for even the most proficient touch-typist. There’s a toggle switch, on the General Settings tab of the Bridge desktop app, that allows you to turn Hands on/off.
For Bridge, we recommend that you TURN OFF the lighting on your keyboard by pressing the ☼ key at the top right of your keyboard. If you already have Logitech Gaming Software installed, our software has the ability to control the lighting of the keyboard automatically where needed.
