Disable VR (HTC Vive) for specific scene?

I have a game that is played with VR but I also have a map editor in the game. I want the map editor to be played like a normal non-VR game using your mouse and keyboard. Does anyone knows how I can disable the HTC Vive/SteamVR with code?

I have tried the following but it doesn't do anything.

Code (CSharp):

1. UnityEngine.VR.VRSettings.enabled = false;
2. SteamVR.enabled = false;

I also tried this but it crashes Unity:

Code (CSharp):

1. OpenVR.Shutdown();

The reason I want to disable it is so the HMD will turn of, to prevent screen burn-in or overheating.

 

So you want people to take the HMD on and off or is this a totally different task?
Would it be better as a different app - map editor, from the game itself?

 

Have you tried disabling the VR camera gameobject and enabling a 'normal' camera in that scene?

 

I don't know if this helps but a screen space overlay UI does not show up in the hmd but will show up on screen.

 

Like goes to 11 Said, screen space overlay works well.

 

wondering if you managed to find a solution to the Vive camera and monitor ?

I'm trying to do the same

 

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.VR;
3. 
   
4. public class NegateTracking: MonoBehaviour
5. {
6. void Update()
7. {
8. transform.position = -InputTracking.GetLocalPosition(VRNode.CenterEye);
9. transform.rotation = Quaternion.Inverse(InputTracking.GetLocalRotation(VRNode.CenterEye));
10. }
11. }
