Logitech releases BRIDGE SDK to improve Keyboard Experience of VR
Logitech has introduced the BRIDGE developers kit, an SDK aimed at helping App makers and SW developers solve the problem of text entry in virtual reality.
The kit consists of a Logitech G gaming keyboard, an accessory that positions a HTC Vive Tracker correctly on the keyboard, and the associated software . Logitech will be seeding 50 of these kits to select developers with the goal of partnering to create compelling new experiences centered around a VR keyboard.
When you link the HTC Vive Tracker to the keyboard with software, it gives you a 3d model of the keyboard in your virtual environment.
You can see your hands and how they interact with the keyboard. It is having lots of on-screen options to customize the keyboard appearance.
Whether you’re doing work or surfing the web you sometimes need the ability to enter text, and Logitech has made it easier to use your keyboard in VR. With Bridge, you can see your physical keyboard, your hands and type without having to take your headset off
