The most recent Wave SDK is version 3.2.0 (Beta) (Released August 11, 2020) https://developer.vive.com/resources/vive-wave/ [Important Note] This Beta version includes Experimental Features that require a different ROM version than 3.07.623.x (Update: Aug 13: See REQUEST ROM ACCESS at bottom of post.) We’d like to hear your feedback on how to improve the design interface, performance, user experience, and more. Some of the Experimental Features (specifically hand tracking and gestures) only work with a new Developer ROM, so do not submit content with these features to the Viveport store for Publishing (yet). More information to follow soon for when these upgraded ROMs will be publicly available. . Major New Features include: Unity XR Plug-in Framework Support Hand and Gesture Tracking. Please note these features are experimental and are likely to be updated in our next SDK release. Passthrough Support via new APIs. Adaptive Quality and Foveated Rendering are now enabled by Default.
