Today I have found out a simple tweak for adding Free Locomotion (smooth movement) in DOOM VFR while playing in Virtual Reality on the HTC Vive. Here is my tutorial on how you can setup Open VR Input Emulator and play DOOM VFR on HTC Vive with free locomotion, and this trick should soon also work with Oculus Rift.

The DOOM VFR free locomotion is possible by re-mapping the HTC Vive controller buttons with a Steam VR plugin called Open VR Input Emulator. So far I have not found a way to re-map the Vive touch-pad, so for now we are going to re-map the grip buttons: the right Vive controller grip button for moving forward, and left Vive controller grip button to move backwards. At the same time in DOOM VFR, we can still use the touch-pad to both teleport and also dash in all four directions.

Get the latest Beta version of Open VR Input Emulator plugin for Steam VR, and be sure to use the regular Steam VR version, and not the latest beta release:

Install the software, and follow the instructions in this video tutorial on how you can play DOOM VFR with free locomotion. I know this is not the optimal way for free locomotion, but at least it works by re-mapping the grip buttons on each Vive controller.

About Oculus Rift and DOOM VFR with this free locomotion mod:
This "mod" should also work for Oculus Rift, but the current DOOM VFR version requires the latest Steam VR beta, which is not working well with the latest Open VR Input Emulator version. Until this is fixed, I'm not fully sure if this free locomotion mod may work on Oculus Rift, but eventually this will be fixed for sure.

If you haven't tried out DOOM VFR yet, I recommend you to grab it from Steam:
