Windows Mixed Reality (WMR)

If you’ve never played SteamVR games with a Windows Mixed Reality headset, you first need to install the Windows Mixed Reality for Steam VR driver.
This driver is available for free here:

 STEAM VR : VR Locomotion

Introduction

  2. Adjust the movement speed ratio for each axis,
  3. If desired, activate Smooth Mode.

The smoothing is a low-pass filter, taking as input N successive values of each axis, and giving as output the average of this values.
Calibration on 3dRudder startup: if this option is activated, the software will record the HMD position when the 3dRudder is started (feet on device).
This position will be used as the reference (i.e. initial) HMD position,
Set a vertical offset applied to the HMD and controllers; this allows for example to use the HMD while seated, but getting the same HMD altitude as using it in standing position.

Examples : HTC VIVE : The Lab
