Installing this compatibility layer is required to run SteamVR on Mixed Reality headsets.

Features

3D

Stereoscopic 3D.

Tracking

Uses inside-out tracking for room-scale motion tracking and tracking of controllers.

Motion Controllers

The Windows Mixed Reality Motion Controllers come with each headset, and are manufactured by each headset manufacturer independently, following Microsoft's exact hardware design and spec. This causes some controllers to be higher quality than other controllers, depending on who manufactured them. The Samsung HMD Odyssey and Samsung HMD Odyssey+ controllers use a unique, more rounded design and are said to be the best quality.

Each controller features a trigger, touchpad, analogue stick, a menu button and a system button. They are tracked via the headset's inside-out positional tracking cameras.

When the controllers leave the headset's positional camera's FOV, they are no longer tracked, but do still use gyroscope and accelerometer information to estimate the controller's position.
