WayVR comes with a skybox for OpenXR.

Turning off Pass-through#

Some headsets will show a camera pass-through by default. If skybox is preferred, go to settings, uncheck Use passthrough, then scroll down and Restart software.

Changing the Skybox#

We are only allowed to include pieces with specific licenses in the git repo, but feel free to procure your own skybox materiel for personal use!

A custom texture may be set via ~/.config/wayvr/conf.d:

echo 'skybox_texture: my-skybox.dds' > ~/.config/wayvr/conf.d/skybox.yaml

Criteria:

Path can be absolute, or relative to ~/.config/wayvr/.
File must be DDS (See: Custom Textures)
Image must be an equirectangular (aka “HDRI” or “Spherical 360”) image.
