I'm wondering if there is a way to hide the Vive Controller models in SteamVR Lobby.

I'm building an VR overlay app. Which means I have a unity3D project which can access SteamVR and OpenVR APIs etc. Is there something I can do when that project starts to auto-hide my controller models?

So far I have tried using OpenVR.System.CaptureInputFocus() and OpenVR.RenderModels.FreeRenderModel( RenderModel_t *pRenderModel ) to no success.

Has anyone achieved this, know of any VR app that achieves this, or if it is even possible?

Many Thanks,

Liam

Well you can disable the `GameObject`'s (the controllers). – Hristo Apr 27 '17 at 15:12
No I can't. The model is rendered in the SteamVR lobby, not by me in unity. – Liam Ferris Apr 27 '17 at 15:20
Oh okay, so they are not visible while in the lobby, but they are when you run the app? – Hristo Apr 27 '17 at 15:21
No again, SteamVR lobby is an application (created by valve) when it is run the controller models are visible. I am trying to disable them – Liam Ferris Apr 27 '17 at 15:22
And I guess you would not want to make your own lobby? – Hristo Apr 27 '17 at 15:22
