About The Project

An all-in-one app that helps me set up a one-click automated VR setup. It starts various applications¹, as well as, SteamVR, and VRChat in a time-based, sequential order.
It also automatically turns on some smart plugs used for Base Stations, and turns them off upon SteamVR exit.
