Configure Device Capabilities

For every VR DeviceService in your VR app, VR DeviceService must be declared in AndroidManifest.xml for VIVE Wave™ Server to know it exists.

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
    <category android:name="com.htc.intent.category.VRDEV" />
</intent-filter>

If the VR DeviceService is a HMD, add this line:

<meta-data android:name="supportHmd" android:value="true" />

If the VR DeviceService is a controller, add this line:

<meta-data android:name="supportController" android:value="true" />

For VIVEPORT to filter VR apps by VRDevice attributes, VR DeviceService must define its capabilities in the AndroidManifest.xml <service> region.

meta-data

com.htc.vr.device.NumDoFHmd

Add meta-data android:name “com.htc.vr.device.NumDoFHmd” and enter the supported HMD positional tracking for the Wave app in android:value. The default value is 6DoF. Check the comment within the code block to know what value you should set.

com.htc.vr.device.NumDoFController

Add meta-data android:name “com.htc.vr.device.NumDoFController” and enter the supported controller positional tracking for the Wave app in android:value. The default value is 6DoF. Check the comment within the code block to know what value you should set.

com.htc.vr.device.NumController

Add meta-data android:name “com.htc.vr.device.NumController” and enter how many controllers the Controller can support in android:value. The value can be 1, 2, or both. Check the comment within the code block to know what value you should set.

<!--Consider setting the DoF support for the device (HMD and controller) for filtering the Wave app in VIVEPORT.-->
<!--Set value to “3DoF” if your device only considers the rotation pose. -->
<!--Set value to “6DoF” if your device considers both rotation and position pose. -->
<!--Set value to “3,6DoF” if your device is capable of supporting both 3DoF and 6DoF. -->
<meta-data android:name="com.htc.vr.device.NumDoFHmd" android:value="6DoF"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.htc.vr device.NumDoFController" android:value="6DoF"/>

<!--Set how many controllers the Controller can support for filtering the Wave app in VIVEPORT.-->
<!--Set value to “1” if your device only supports one controler. -->
<!--Set value to “2” if your device only supports two controlers. -->
<!--Set value to “1,2” if your device supports either one or two controllers. -->
<meta-data android:name="com.htc.vr.device.NumController" android:value="2"/>
