Step-by-step tutorial to do your SimploVR
Hardware
All the hardware of SimploVR is pretty simple to find and can be replaced for better or worse versions since all that matter is the software (and at least a 6-dof imu). Here is a list of the products and a recommendation link.

How to build
Building SimploVR is pretty simple and we tried to make it the most easy and intuitive possible. If you find any problem with the building pls reach us out on discord
Print the frame
First step is to 3D print the main frame used for developement. You can find it here
Inserting the screen
Insert the screen on the screen hole on the front of the frame. You can use tape or something to mantain it in place for the dev phase.
IMU
Place the imu in the imu case on the top of the headset frame. Pls make sure that the usb is turned to left.
