Cannot hide steamvr green rectangle on the ground

Pimax 8K Series
1

Hi everyone, i don’t know if it’s related with pimax or not, but i remember when i was using the vive i didn’t have this problem.

basically using openvr advanced settings i am able to hide the chaperone when i’m not near the borders, main problem is that the ground rectangle doesn’t hide at all, and is not the “play area” box that is configurable, if i enable the play area i get another rectangle inside that one.

does anyone have found a way to hide that ground rectangle? is very distracting expecially on seated experiences

Haven’t found a way to disable the “minimal” Chaperone developer-line either, might be a liability thing. (If it is possible - would be nice to know indeed!) One hint: You can change the color to something less obvious - e.g. the color of the floor of your VR game. And set transparency to as high as possible. Still visible then, but not as disturbing.

You need the branch version of OpenVR Advanced Settings (3.2.0) which has a checkbox for disable chaperone.

Even when you dont set a full room but only standing ?

I wonder if Pimax could just add this to PiTools. There are many experiences where you are seating, no idea why they did not thought about that.

I use OpenVR Advanced Settings too and made a RoomScale and a Seated profile to make the switching between play areas easier.

Could you tell me how? The openvr, is that some software download to use in conjunction with Steam or Pitool?

It’s a SteamVR add-on:

The settings can be found on the SteamVR dashboard (inside VR by pressing the system button on the controller) in the “Advanced Settings” section (found in the bottom of the Dashboard).

It has a ton of options so have a look around… :wink:

Thanks.
I downloaded the application and gave it a spin.
Unfortunately, even when I check the “disable Chaperone” I still see the ground circle that is my “standing play area”.
I’ll also try @MKV suggestion.
