Peter Kappler (PWNED Magic in Second Life) has created a VR version of the Firestorm Viewer using OpenVR/SteamVR compatible with Vive, Oculus Rift, Windows Mixed Reality and other VR headsets (HMDs). Most of the time this will work fine, but if you use extended BoM features please don’t use this viewer to log directly into a grid/region known to run on older 0.8.* server code. The version of the Firestorm viewer on which the latest Firestorm VR Mod 6.9 is based supports Bakes on Mesh in both Second Life and OpenSim. Update: 2: Peter Kappler now has a home page for Firestorm VR Mod at – go there for the latest version and information.
