SAO Utils VR patch and tutorial (for Beta 1 Update 1)

We have introduced how we can use Vireio Perception to make SAO Utils work with your VR device in article How To – Get SAO Utils to work with your VR device. However, we found that the experience is upset recently, so we decide to develop VR mode for SAO Utils natively and improve the operating experience in stereo mode.

In this page, we will provide you a VR patch and some instructions, for Beta 1 Update 1 (32/64 bit) ONLY. We will integrate the stereo functions in the future release.

阅读本文 in 中文 >

1. Download and install SAO Utils


Get SAO Utils Beta 1 Update 1, unzip it to somewhere and install the plug-ins in your favor such as [ Web Browser Engine ].

2. Install VR patch for SAO Utils

Decompress all the files in the zip to the root folder of SAO Utils, that’s all.

3. Enable VR mode in SAO Utils


You can find the stereo options in the “Preference-Graphic Settings” panel, SAO Utils supports two types of stereo modes currently:

  • Side by Side: Suitable for VR devices, optional cropped/squeezed/black bar modes.
  • Anaglyph: For anaglyph glasses, supports red and cyan filter only.

Different modes are shown in the images above, it’s also possible to adjust the “Zero Parallax” and “Eye Separation” for your comfort.
* You must enable the “Compatible” display mode for the best VR experience.

4. Using SAO Utils in VR Boxes

To taste the new VR feature, what we need are just a (DIY) VR box, a smart phone, Trinus VR app and SAO Utils.

4.1 Smart Phone: Install Trinus VR

  1. Find and install the Trinus VR Full or Lite version on your smart phone.
  2. Make sure both your phone and PC are in the same network (WiFi / USB Tethering).
  3. Launch the Trinus VR app.

4.2 PC: Install Trinus VR Server

Note that the Trinus VR is not the only choice, you can also find other software that could transfer the screen to your mobile device.

  1. Download the PC SERVER on Trinus VR official web site.
  2. Make sure both your phone and PC are in the same network (Again).
  3. Launch Trinus VR Server, then click △ icon to start a connection with your phone.

4.3 Trinus VR Settings

The Trinus VR has varieties of options, you can find them by clicking the setting icon at the top right corner (PC) or moving your head to aim at the setting icon (Phone). Most of the options require a disconnection before you can change them, and we strongly recommend you to switch to ‘Advanced Mode’ for a more intuitive setting.

Here’s my settings:

    PC Settings

  • [Main] Head Mount Model: Freefly_4.7′
  • [Main] Image Size: Ultra
  • [Main] Image Quality: check Auto Adjust
  • [Main] Capture Mode: Fast
  • [Main] Sensor Output: No Sensor
  • [Video] Fake3D: Disabled
  • [Video] Centred: checked
    Phone Settings

  • Lens Correction): Off (for some lens)

4.4 Put you phone into the VR headset

OK, we’re almost there. Just align the black line on the screen and place it into your VR headset, wearing it on, calling out the SAO Utils launcher and shout: Link Start!!

4. Using SAO Utils in VR Devices

Actually I don’t have any standalone VR headsets (Ocular Rift, HTC Vive, etc.), so I can’t test the compatibility with them.
If you have one and be willing to share your ideas or advices, please leave us a comment.

  1. 现在steam上有个可以把桌面投影到vive界面的应用,而且可以只让桌面背景透明,这样一来就变相实现了SAOUtil的VR模式,并且可以用体感设备。虽然我还没用那个,但这个思路应该可以用在针对VR设备的补丁上(所以大大什么时候买vive啦 [害羞] )

    • 那个很早就有了, 然而就把桌面卷起来有什么意思…
      可以仔细对比一下 SAO Utils 的 3D 模式跟那个应用有何差别

    我有一个问题,我在下载好PC端Trinus VR Server后,不能打开该程序,总是提示错误。

    • 试试 Kino Console, Trinus VR 免费版已经过期了

    为什么我下不了

  2. 准备入htc vive,不知道是不是兼容,有人用过了吗

    • 期待测试结果, 至少体感输入暂时是不支持的

    • 到货了,试了下才想起来,这个VR补丁大概不适用于专门的VR设备的,比如vive的话就算开启桌面浏览模式,也只是把桌面投影进头显,类似于看电视,鼠标动作由体感设备代替(而不是头显,所以也没法让菜单跟头动)用了VR补丁的结果就是两个菜单分开的样子(就是截图里的那样)。具体我也说不好,在vive里关掉所有菜单的时候我是置身在一个圈好地的空间里的,而桌面只是那些菜单里的一个而已。我觉得现在比较实际的方法是另做一个专用的独立程序,类似一个小应用,允许用户在空间里唤出菜单,使用PC里的程序或者功能这样。(现在几个我满意的VR游戏都在程序里用了SAO那样的悬浮菜单(比如某定制女仆ww),所以肯定可行的)只是不知道允不允许多任务或者后台之类,还有访问权限也不明,我只能推测啦_(:3

    有BUG 用登陆word点击IE图标 无法退出

  3. 贫道买了个一百六的小宅Z4用起来还不错但我到现在都没搞懂这软件怎么用

    。。要是有真正的头显的话,压根用不到这种功能
    直接把这些东西拉到win原生的多显示器不同桌面里就行了..
    不过话说Trinus VR 这玩意真好,GTA5高特效+768p居然能保持40fps上下

    • Trinus VR 最近强行要求更新了, Lite 版也用不了.
      试了一下 KinoConsole 也不错

    win7突然桌面手势无效了怎么回事

    求Hololens!!!!

  4. 完全不会用,已卸载 Trinus VR

    • 06/01. 2016 8:12pm

    问个问题哈 为什么在外面看着感觉界面是环绕自己的 用vr眼镜看的时候就是那种中间凸出的 该怎么设置?

      我用的是暴风魔镜

    • 你的眼睛 FOV 应该很大… Trinus VR 有很多选项可以调节镜片扭曲效果可以试试

      还可以试试3D模式设为“缩放“

    屯了好久,试了一下,除了传输有点不流畅外,简直棒棒哒!

    • 如果延迟问题(现在千元级的设备没有)还有分辨率问题能解决的话, VR 可以说是一个十分完美的显示器了

  5. win7win8.1win10测试一切正常能用。
    win8.0第一次打开测试略有少数不能加载插件的bug,重启就行了。
    另外先给各位攻城狮点个赞辛苦了~☆

  6. 为什么我的没有VR模式qwq

    • 梦酱
    • 05/06. 2016 11:25pm

    啧啧,win10测试能用。。。就是家里没有3D眼镜2333

    • 淘宝就十几二十块前一个盒子
