Requirements at a glance

• An HTC Vive Pro Series VR system (headset, hand controllers, ...) (https://www.vive.com/eu/product/#pro%20series).
  The HTC Vive Pro EYE includes an eyetracker.

• Or A QUEST 1, 2 or 3 system (starting from PTVR release 2.0.0 in May 2025) – no eyetracking.
  

  Future PTVR versions will gradually support other VR systems (depending on users' feedback).

• A Windows computer with VR system already set-up.
  See below the appropriate section to help you setup your system:
  
  • Vive setup section or
    
  • Quest setup section
• PTVR installed (PTVR installation section).
• Python >3.6. We suggest Spyder, a nice integrated development environment (IDE).
