    Hello all. I am having trouble starting the Vive headset from the Unity editor. I start the scene and no devices are detected. I have VR support enables and several vr packages added as well. However no Vr device is detected and I was wondering how I could simply start the scene and view it through the HTC Vive headset. I am using Unity 5.4.1f. I don't want to use Steam VR because I headtracking and do not want to use the lighthouse tracking. Thanks for the support!

    As far as I know you have to have Steam VR running to have your Vive work in Unity. This is because Steam VR powers on your Vive. If you don't want tracking, you can remove the scripts from the cameras in the scene.
