Trinus allows you to connect your PSVR to your PC

You can connect your PSVR to your PC with the help of some third-party software. Thanks to some clever programming by the developers at Odd Sheep Games, you can actually connect your PSVR to your PC. Trinus PSVR is a piece of software that handles all the communication between your PC and PSVR that would normally never happen. If you have a library of Steam games on your PC, whether VR or not, you can play them with Trinus PSVR. If you'd like to watch movies or TV in VR, you can also do so through the PSVR head-mounted display. Here's how to set it up!

What you'll need

  • Access to Steam: Steam Account (Membership free at Steam)
  • Access to Steam VR games: SteamVR (Membership free at Steam)
  • What makes it possible Trinus PSVR ($14 at Trinus)

Before you begin

Two things important things to note before you begin.

  1. Trinus PSVR has a free trial that has an undetermined time set to it. Before you purchase your copy for $14, you can download it for free here.
  2. If you like what you get, the price of Trinus PSVR is 11,99€. The currency will automatically update to just under $14 USD during checkout.

    You can support the developers behind Trinus PSVR by purchasing the product, but they recommend you trying the product before you buy it. As it stands there hasn't been a PlayStation 4 software update that has prevented their program from working.

How to set up Trinus PSVR

Now that your PSVR is hooked up to your PC and Trinus PSVR has been downloaded and installed, you can launch it and get started. Before starting these steps, ensure your PSVR is sitting on a flat surface.

  1. Right-click Trinus PSVR in the Start menu or desktop.
  2. Click Run as Administrator.

  7. Click DISPLAY1.
  8. Click the dropdown menu next to PSVR Mode.
  9. Click VR. Here you can also choose Cinematic if you'd, say, like to watch a movie or play a regular, 2D game in VR.
  10. Click the Assign Key button next to Reset View.
  11. Press a key on your keyboard to assign it to reset your view in PSVR.
  12. Click the checkbox next to Use Mouse Wheel. This ensures you can adjust your zoom while in the game using your mouse wheel.
  13. Click Start. Trinus PSVR will now calibrate the headset, so be sure it's on a flat surface.
  14. Right-click Steam in the Start menu or desktop.
  15. Click Run as Administrator.
  16. Click VR.
  17. Click Run Room Setup.
  18. Click Standing Only.
  19. Click Next.
  20. Click Calibrate Center.
  21. Click Next.
  22. Click the height field.
  23. Type your height in inches or cm.
  24. Click Calibrate Floor.
  25. Click Next.
  26. Click Done. You'll now see a pleasant SteamVR home in split view on your display.
  27. Hit Windows key + Shift + Right arrow on your keyboard to move the headset display over to the PSVR. If you put on your PSVR, you'll be able to see everything just as though you were wearing a Rift or Vive.

You can now launch a SteamVR game and enjoy it in PSVR. To get your keyboard and mouse or controller to work in the game, use the Alt + Tab shortcut on your keyboard to bring up the actual game window on your standard monitor.

Mouse mode

If you'd like to play all of your Steam games in PSVR, you can do so with Mouse mode. Some games, like Crysis 3 and Doom 3, come with built-in side-by-side support that let you play as you normally would in VR, but most games don't have this type of support unless you use something like VorpX.

In the case of standard games, you can still enjoy them in cinematic mode within your PSVR.

  1. Click the Main tab at the top of the Trinus PSVR window.
  2. Click the dropdown arrow next to PC Mode.
  3. Click Mouse.
  4. Click the dropdown arrow next to Non-VR.
  5. Click None — if the game you're playing is known to have side-by-side support, click Side by Side.
  6. Click the dropdown arrow next to PSVR Mode.
  7. Click Cinematic.
  8. Click Start.
  9. Launch a non-VR Steam game.

The same headset window with a split view should be moved over to your PSVR by hitting Windows key + Shift + Right arrow on your keyboard until it leaves your standard monitor.

Instead of leaving the actual game window on your standard monitor, you want to also move it over to the PSVR by hitting Windows key + Shift + Right arrow on your keyboard. Once you've moved it over to the PSVR, you'll see the game appear on a large screen in front of you. You can now enjoy all your non-VR games in the cinematic mode in PSVR.

Still having issues?

Trinus PSVR is a work in progress, so there are understandably a few bugs. When you first click Start in Trinus PSVR, ensure your head-mounted display is placed on a steady surface and is pointing toward the direction you're facing. If you don't have the PSVR on a steady surface when you first launch, it will track all over the place and you'll have a frustrating time trying to get your cursor into the right place.

The fine people over at the PSVRHack sub-Reddit are more than eager to help you out with other problems you have with Trinus PSVR.

If you're going to be using your PlayStation VR headset to play all of your SteamVR games, there are a few things you want to make sure you have. If you're a big fan of flying simulators you should grab yourself a HOTAS controller to increase your immersion. The Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 is compatible with your PlayStation VR and your PC, making it perfect for however you want to play.

Otherwise, you always want to make sure your headset is clean to prevent the spread of illness or build-up grossness. For that, we recommend Babyganics Alcohol-Free Sanitizing Wipes to safely clean your headset without risking lens warping and Hyperkin Sanitary Mask to have your friends wear when they're borrowing your headset.
