Unable to setup the calibration with Samsung Headset

LucLuc

I got a Samsung device and I'm unable to pass the calibration phase. When holding the headset facing the computer, it always complains about the light situation (too dark?). Even powerful lights, it doesn't work. I can click on 'Center' once in a while, but the calibration fails immediately (the marker is white, and then turns red immediately).
The PC is a Dell Aurora that runs Occulus and Vive headset fine (Win10 up to date, Nvidia 1070, ...).
It seems there's something really wrong in the calibration. The headset itself works: we can run the basic demos, but the controllers are way off.

Why should the headset face the computer ? Looking for the screen ? Looking for the joysticks ?

Thanks for any tips

Luc

  • Point the front of the headset to whatever side of the room you want to be calibrated as the front. I pointed the headset to the left of my monitor and had no issues. Also, make sure the room is well-lit and the cameras don't have the protective film on the lenses...

  • @Luc FYI prior to the December 8 - 12 Windows Updates... manual calibration of the MR Headsets was previously possible using Start / Settings / Mixed Reality / Calibration .... manually move the slider right or left.... This is now fixed in the current Build I use Win 10 Pro Version 1709 Build 16299.125.

  • By fixed, I meant disabled, you cannot adjust. The option is greyed out.
