Advanced usage

Use together with third-party drivers

By default NaNVR disables other SteamVR drivers before starting. Among these drivers there is SlimeVR for body tracking. NaNVR disables these drivers to maximize compatibility with every PC setup. You can disable this behavior by manually registering the NaNVR driver. Go to the installation tab and click on Register NaNVR driver. The next time you launch NaNVR you will be able to use the other drivers concurrently.

Launch together with SteamVR

You can skip the Dashboard and open NaNVR automatically together with SteamVR.

Note: You can only do that while SteamVR is not already running. Otherwise driver might be unregistered on shutdown.

Open Dashboard, go to the Installation tab and click on Register NaNVR driver.

Connect headset to PC via a USB Cable
