*If you would like a low battery alarm for your controllers, please check out [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1068820/OVR_Toolkit/ OVR Toolkit]. Once you install OVR Toolkit, open the settings by clicking the cog button. Click "Global Settings". Go to the very last option, and then click Volume. Slide "Low Battery Alarm" to the left for a quieter low battery alarm, and to the right for an obscenely loud alarm. I know that it's kind of hard to know where the alarm is coming from. Some people think it's Steam. It's not, it's OVR Toolkit and its unnecessarily loud DING DING DING of doom and death.

===Installing OVR Advanced Settings===
*Step 1: Download [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1009850/OVR_Advanced_Settings/ OVR Advanced Settings in Steam.]
 
*Step 2: Launch OVR Advanced Settings AND whatever game it is you want to play. (Please note that you will not see OVR Advanced Settings open.)
 
*Step 3: An OVR Advanced Settings button will appear within Steam Settings. (See image on the right)
 
 
===PlaySpace Mover===
Playspace mover is a way of "Faking" your current height / width in VR. It is useful for when you are sitting down but want to appear full height, or for clipping through walls in certain games/areas. You can also use it to "climb" higher than normally possible in VR.
 
People still refer to it as Playspace Mover, however it is now embedded in OVR Advanced Settings on Steam.
 
*Step 1: Select '''''"Motion"''''' setting.
 
*Step 2: Select "Left Hand" or "Right Hand" under Space Drag. (Most people use left hand.)
 
*Step 3.5: OPTIONAL: If you want to move faster than default, select 2x or 3x speed.
 
*Step 4: Go back to the OVR Advanced Settings menu, and select  '''''"Bindings."'''''
 
*Step 5: HIT THE BACK BUTTON IMMEDIETELY. I know this doesn't make sense, but I DID NOT PROGRAM THIS PROGRAM. You HAVE to hit BACK button FIRST. (See picture at the right.)
 
*Step 6: Scroll down to find settings appropriate to your headset, and click '''''"Activate'''''". I am on Index, so I use this one: '''''"XENOX_lostcase's "For Index"'''''" Settings. If you are on Quest, Vive, etc, you will have different options. If you are a Quest/Vive/etc user, please update this page with what it is called for those headsets.
 
*Step 7: Exit out of Steam Advanced Settings and now press a button (usually A or B), HOLD IT DOWN, and drag your controller up/down. Your body should now move up or down.  
 
*Step 8:
 
*Step 9: Profit
 
 
 
===OVR Advanced Settings - MISC===
 
You can do all sorts of fun stuff with OVR Advanced settings. Here are some highlights!
 
*Chaperone - Set off a buzz, a vibration, or a menu opening when you get "too close" to things. It is NOT reliable though!
 
*Offsets - Manually move your character up/down/back/forth
 
*Motion Settings > Gravity - Make it so instead you move permanently up/down/etc, it makes it so you can "jump" with gravity. Neat!
 
*Space Fix - If your face is in the ground, or if something just isnt lined up right, put one controller on the ground, and fix your space! Woo!
 
*Audio - Enable push to talk (doesnt work well), or changes audio input/output source for Steam. (For example, if you wanted to use a MOD mic instead of the headset mic.)
 
*Video - Darken or brighten your screen as well as RGB color offsets.
 
*Utilities - Visual Alarm clock / Virtual Keyboard / Media Player Controls
 
*Statistics - Cool stuff for nerds
 
*Bindings - Used to customize your controler / enable playspace mover
 
*Settings - Enable autostart
