Is anybody using a HTC Vive successfully?

I am still looking for any person who succesfully uses an HTC Vive on the Mac using SteamVR, Unity or any other development environment. I do have all the necessary hardware, and I could go through a first setup, but that's all – I am stuck and cannot find a way to start doing even basic development.


So – does anybody use a HTC Vive with a Mac for anything?

I am using a HTC Vive to develop VR Desktop for Mac.




AMA.

I just manged to get it working.


I am using a Mac Book Pro late 2016 13 inch model with an external GPU enclosure.


I turned everything off then on; and I deleted the Steam VR betas from within in Steam and downloaded it & installed it again. Then the Steam VR app worked. I also have the base stations working. I placed one on a window sill and the other on a bookshelf for now .


I am able to run some of the Unity VR demos from the Unity asset store. Note: using the Unity 2018.1 beta would not work so far. I am usng Unity 2017.3 (the latest patch version).

Hund, did you ever manage to get it working? I’ve been trying to set up with steam VR but been stuck for awhile?
