Amethyst-Releases

How do I install or update Amethyst?

Scroll further down for manual instructions.

Amethyst is a Windows application for using various devices for body tracking in virtual reality. It can be extended with user-made plugins to support any device you wish.

This is a rewrite from the ground up, it is not based on KinectToVR/K2EX. It is a whole new app that doesn't carry the legacy baggage of K2EX. We were able to fix numerous bugs and streamline the experience. We hope you will enjoy it. If you like what you see and you wish to support future development, you can throw money at us with the button. (We won't force you, though every expense is currently out of pocket.)

Manual setup

If the Microsoft Store isn't available for you, for some reason:

  • Download 11835K2VRTeam.Amethyst_[...]_.Msix from the latest release.
  • You're good to go! Just go through the setup and start playing!

My SteamVR gives me Error 203 and won't start no matter what I do.

You have the Amethyst and K2EX drivers enabled at the same time.
They use the same logging library and conflict with each other on startup, causing the entirety of the SteamVR backend to crash.
Close SteamVR, then either delete or edit %localappdata%\openvr\openvrpaths.vrpath
if your file says null in it after you edited it, go learn JSON, and WTF are you doing on GitHub????

I have some other unrelated issue.

Unless you're actually braindead, you may possibly have run into a bug,
reporting those is important to building a stable application for release. See just below on how to report bugs.

Reports:

  • (or at least describe it as well as you can)
  • Run amethyst-app:report to collect all relevant files, just copy or drag-and-drop to share
  • In case of SteamVR errors, log files from %AppData%/Amethyst/logs might be needed too
