Awesome! Nice one for creating this, not tried yet but I will 😄

At the minute I'm only running a 2 sensor set up which I can use for standing and stitting but I'm looking at getting another sensor or 2 as just the 2 sensors isn't cutting it anymore but issue is, I don't really want to start mouting them all on the ceiling, (not sure the wife will approve) and the only thing that's been holding me back from getting more sensors is, I don't want to keep re running set up every day as I'll be plugging them in and out every day before and after use

Ideally I'd leave the 2 sensors I have where they are now and once the wife and kids have gone bed i'll connect my other 2 sensors and have them the other side of the room but I'll need to get them in the exact spot

So I really just needed something that will back up my 4 sensor set up and then when I'm ready to roll I can just restore my 4 sensor set up without having to go through set up everyday

so what it does store a sensor calibration and space setup, and you can switch between them?
This is interesting!

It does indeed.
Got a few more plans in mind too 😉

This is a brilliant concept! (Not tried it yet)

I'm surprised Oculus didn't include this out of the box..

Can you tie this into the Steam calibration too? So for instance, if I load my Oculus standing space, it would switch SteamVR to the 'room scale' config, but if load my Oculus seated space it would correspondingly switch SteamVR to seated or stationary?

Thanks for your efforts, looking forward to trying this out tonight.

I think there needs to be a pause from when the service is shut down and before restarting with the new configuration to let the user switch/move sensors.  Otherwise it gets confused (very).  This is why in my solution, I had a separate stop.bat so I could stop the service, switch cameras and then run either the room.bat or sit.bat to restart in the new configuration.  For grins, I tried leaving all four sensors in (3 in ceiling for room and 1 on desk for sitting) and that did not go well.  I was getting thrashed all over my virtual living room.  😄

Also even after switching cameras it didn't work right (I was floating in the air).  I noticed that the app removed the Oculus directory in the locallow area.  When I restored that things seemed to recover.

Not sure if serious.

FWIW, the Oculus Tray Tool (OTT) lets you stop start and restart the service at will from a right click menu in the tool tray. For now you could manually stop the service with OTT and use OHMultiTool to change spaces, then restart service with OTT.

Thanks for the feedback 🙂
As you know i was going to have you beta test for me, but i thought why not just share the wealth with the whole comunity 🙂

What ill do is make it so it stops the service, then prompt you to change the sensors, upon clicking OK itll restart everything.

As for the locallow business, this doesnt touch that folder. It moves around the sessions folder within %appdata%/oculus which is the equivelent of appdata/roaming.
That said ill run some tests and observe its behaviour.

Would it be useful to have a seperate stop start restart function? Personal preference is to have ot as automated as possible.
