href="/wiki/Steam_(service)" title="Steam (service)">SteamVR</a> games and software. It provides support for the <a href="/wiki/HTC_Vive" title="HTC Vive">HTC Vive</a> Developer Edition, including the SteamVR controller and Lighthouse. OpenVR SDK was an important step towards the release of the first HTC Vive Developer Edition. </p><p>The OpenVR SDK has replaced the API that was previously available in steamvr.h in the Steamworks SDK. The old API will continue to receive support indefinitely, but applications that require any of the new features must switch to the new SDK. </p><p>A number of new interfaces were added, and existing interfaces received new methods. Details can be found in the OpenVR API documentation. </p><p>With the OpenVR SDK, software can now be connected to SteamVR hardware. The SDK can be downloaded from the OpenVR <a href="/wiki/GitHub" title="GitHub">GitHub</a> page. It supports all SteamVR products. </p><p>The SteamVR Unity Plugin and native SteamVR support in Unreal 4.8 have been implemented to support Unity in addition to the OpenVR SDK support. Both were available shortly after the initial release of OpenVR. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Release_notes">Release notes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=OpenVR&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Release notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Changes from the SteamVR interface in SteamWorks SDK 1.31 to Initial release of OpenVR include:<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>IHmd is now IVRSystem.</li> <li>Added support for multiple tracked objects.</li> <li>Moved fetching of various values about HMDs and other tracked devices into properties.</li> <li>Added support for providing applications with models and textures for tracked devices.</li> <li>Clarified and changed tracking prediction.</li> <li>Added origin to calls that return poses.</li> <li>Renamed IVRSystem::ZeroTracker to IVRSystem::ResetSeatedZeroPose.</li> <li>Added angular velocity and velocity to the data returned with a tracked device's pose.</li> <li>CAPI and C# bindings for OpenVR interfaces added to headers.</li> <li>Added IVRSystem::PollNextEvent to the API.</li> <li>Added new interface IVRChaperone to query chaperone hard and soft bounds.</li> <li>IVRSystem::GetHiddenAreaMesh.
