2.0 HP REVERB G2 VR HEADSET
2.1: HOW DO I OPTIMIZE THE HEADSET RESOLUTION IN STEAMVR AND/OR ON WMR?
WINDOWS MIXED REALITY PORTAL (RUNNING ON WINDOWS 1809 AND EARLIER): There is currently no
way to change the resolution.
WINDOWS MIXED REALITY PORTAL (RUNNING ON WINDOWS 1903 AND LATER): Press the
Windows key and type “Headset Display Settings.” Settings can be adjusted under RESOLUTION.
STEAMVR: Open the menu in the upper-left of Steam VR and select SETTINGS. In SETTINGS, click the
GENERAL menu. Set RENDER RESOLUTION to CUSTOM. Adjust the resolution using the slider.
With Microsoft release 1809 and earlier, all computer systems require an external display attached in
addition to the VR headset. If only the VR headset is attached (e.g. backpack configuration) or if the
system “thinks” that only a VR headset is attached without an external display, the operating system
will blank (black out) the VR headset. One solution is to upgrade to Windows 10 version 1903 (May
2019 release). You can also purchase a hardware EDID emulator to fool the system into thinking an
external display is attached (search Amazon for “EDID Emulator”), or connect an external display to
the system.

Q 2.3: CAN I DO A FREE ROAM OR LARGE-SCALE ROOM SET UP?
HOW DO I SET UP FOR A FREE ROAM EXPERIENCE?
The tracking system on the HP Reverb G2 VR Headset is designed to work in an area where you have
an unobstructed view of your walls and floor. Large scale experiences, such as where you pass
between rooms or hallways and see many different walls, requires an external tracking system. There
are many external tracking systems available, such as those manufactured by Mo-Sys, OptiTrack,
Vicon, and PhaseSpace.
Q 2.4: HOW DO I ADJUST THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) OF THE HEADSET?
Use the mechanical IPD adjust on the bottom-left of the HP Reverb G2 headset. Adjust the distance
between the lenses until you achieve the greatest visual clarity.
