Minimal Example

A minimal example to create a VR session using the LibOVR interface:

import psychxr.libovr as libovr
import sys


def main():

    # create a rift session object
    if libovr.failure(libovr.initialize()):
        return -1

    if libovr.failure(libovr.create()):
        libovr.shutdown()
        return -1

    hmdDesc = getHmdInfo()

    resolution = hmdDesc.resolution
    print(resolution)  # print the resolution of HMD raster display

    libovr.destroy()  # clean up
    libovr.shutdown()

    return 0


if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())

Above is similar to the example shown in Initialization and Sensor Enumeration from the Oculus Rift PC SDK developer guide.
