Varjo inside-out tracking

We will help you set up tracking for your headset.

Varjo inside-out tracking is available for XR-4, and Varjo inside-out tracking (Beta) is available for XR-3. For other options, see the list of available tracking methods.

Positional tracking for your headset

Your Varjo headset uses a tracking system to know its exact position. Tracking allows applications to synchronize your movements in the real world with those in the virtual environment.

Varjo inside-out tracking uses the positional tracking cameras on the headset to continuously scan the room and keep track of your position. No additional accessories are required.

Note that to use OpenVR applications (such as SteamVR apps) with XR-4, you need to install SteamVR software.

With XR-3, OpenVR applications can only be used with SteamVR™ Tracking.
