I got Beat Saber to cast from my Kinect for Xbox One and emulated being in VR by tracking my skeleton and using a tVR emulator to make my monitor the headset. It took a couple of days to figure it out and watch tutorials on how to set it up but now that
Beat Saber was $30 on Steam and the Driver4VR Application (that adds drivers to SteamVR to Utilize the Kinect and multiple input devices like the Xbox Controller for trigger input) was about $20. So, $50 total to get Beat Saber working since I already had a Kinect One. @jlampel you would be proud.
Here’s a screenshot of me in action.
If you want to watch my daughter video recording me fumble with my hands and feet I have the video here. She does some first class humming to the original song too.
Now onto downloading the required version of Unity and getting Midas and Mithril into the game.
