Valve is still trucking along with updates to SteamVR support for macOS. Valve has released an update to Steam VR Beta with the following features for macOS:
macOS specific updates
- Initial support for dashboards and overlays with laser-pointer input support; the VR Settings dashboard as well as Steam Library/Store dashboard
- Additional GPU frame timing information in developer performance graphs
- Initial support for IVRVirtualDisplay interface
- Fixes crash during startup on macOS High Sierra 10.13
Some other general updates to SteamVR Beta
- New SteamVR Media Player [Beta] - See below
- Fixed a compatibility issue with certain USB drivers. In some cases this would prevent controllers from tracking wirelessly unless they were plugged in directly to USB first.
- SteamVR's Chaperone no longer renders when drivers provide their own (to avoid double rendering bounds).
