  • Page 1 Welcome to your new Roto! In here, you will be able to find everything you need to know to set up your Roto VR Chair. Should you have any questions regarding set up at any time, please contact the team on customersupport@rotovr.com, and they will be more than happy to help.
  • Page 2 Information on Roto Roto has been in creation since 2014, when we recognised that whilst VR allows us the freedom to do amazing things, in the real world, most people would probably prefer to sit down while doing it. So, we set out to solve the problems of exploring and experiencing 360-degree content whilst seated.

  • Page 5: Installation

    The PCB does sit back a bit further than the edge of the base, so don’t worry if they look like they are pushed inwards. ©Roto VR is a UK Ltd company. Companies House: 9473421. VAT Reg: 241423444. 28 Church Road, Stanmore, Middlesex, HA7 4XR, United Kingdom www.rotovr.com...

  • Page 8 WARNING: Any wired device must be connected through the stem and base of the Roto chair. NEVER hold or mount a wired device that isn’t connected through the stem of the Roto chair. Make sure there are no loose wires anywhere on or near Roto.
  • Page 9: Cable Setup

    ‘Pedal/Emergency’. The smaller part of the cable will run down the stem and plug into the pedals. As the Roto pedals currently require developer support, they will not be needed when you first set up, so you can skip this cable if you want to – keeping cables to a minimum is best.
  • Page 10 If you plug this in and switch Roto on, a light on the left-hand side of the base should switch on.
  • Page 11 One end of the cable will need to be plugged in to the steering wheel, and the other in the power port on the front of the control box. ©Roto VR is a UK Ltd company.

  • Page 13: Headset Setup

    For the Vive to work with Roto, you will need to use the Vive Link Box. Cables K, L and M will need to be plugged into the base of the Roto, and the other ends plugged in to the link box. You will then need to add the cables provided with the link box to the other side and connect it to the mains/PC.
  • Page 14 New/Future Generation When the Roto was first designed 6 years ago, headsets were not built with updated connections like the display port. If you wish to use headsets like the HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Rift S or Valve Index, a battery powered laptop will be required atop our desktop attachment.

  • Page 17 Logitech G29 If you’re not able to get your hands on the G27, the G29 has the same specs and internal design, so will work just as well with Roto. It was just given an update to modernise it Logitech G920 The G920 is a further upgrade to the previous wheels, and like the others, connects via USB and has force feedback, great for immersing you in the seat of your next racing car.
  • Page 18 Tilting Do you like to kick back and relax while gaming? The back of the chair on Roto can be reclined slightly, allowing you to immerse yourself in that getaway holiday VR experience just a little bit more.

  • Page 20 Roto VR Desktop Mode The Roto VR Desktop Mode has been created so that the chair can operate and turn while being controlled by joysticks or steering wheels, therefore eliminating the need for the headtracker. It also contains cockpit mode, which is great to use when in racing games, or flight simulation games.
  • Page 21 Once this is done, the chair will rotate 30 degrees to the left and right of your start point. ©Roto VR is a UK Ltd company. Companies House: 9473421. VAT Reg: 241423444. 28 Church Road, Stanmore, Middlesex, HA7 4XR, United Kingdom www.rotovr.com...
  • Page 22 This will be set up the same way, but you will need to click on the ‘Free Mode’ box (as shown in the picture below), as well as ‘Enable Joystick Control’. ©Roto VR is a UK Ltd company.

  • Page 23 The power setting is the speed that the chair will turn. When using cockpit mode, we recommend that the power is set to 100% for realistic short turns while gaming. ©Roto VR is a UK Ltd company. Companies House: 9473421.
