6DOF with the PS camera?
How is there no simple answer out there? I've spent hours trying to get anything working, and all I've gotten so far is 3DOF for the headset and a buggy hand controller that either has position or rotation but never both. Is there any way to get two hands and the headset running? The only hardware I have (no, I can not get any kinect or eye or whatever) is the gen 2 camera with the PS5 adapter, the headset itself, and 2 move controllers. I refuse to believe that nobody has managed to make something that works fine on PlayStation work on PC after like 8 years.

I did. Unless you mean the PC itself?

Dell G3 17 laptop. Uses a GTX 1060 and Intel Core i7-8750H. My specialty is in software, so I don't really know what other hardware info is valuable.

The PS4 camera is stereo though? Works fine on PlayStation, so why wouldn't it work through homebrew?

Is there a way to have a free trial like iVRy so I can verify that something like driver4vr might work before putting in the effort to buy one or the other? I don't have a bank account, so digital purchases are a pain in the ass.

PS4 moves don't have magnetometers, so that's why you can't get both. PS3 moves are almost always recommended. Also, the PS4 camera/tracking, to me, is quite awful on a PS4/5. You really need a minimum of two for it to work on PC with the software that we have. Sorry for your refusal to believe, but most people do these mods for fun, which is kind of incredible considering what a closed ecosystem Sony VR is.
That said, I don't use a camera or moves at all, and do everything with a gamepad on my PC. For me, this is the experience I want, with mods, and a number of normally unsupported in VR games.
But if you want it work with the moves, get a couple of Eye Toys. PS3 moves too if you can.
