You can use @risa2000’s hmdq to view the serial number…

# HMDQ Tools
HMDQ Tools is a set of two command line tools for VR headsets and other hardware introspection with support for both OpenVR and Oculus runtimes. The tools are also used to collect the data for and build the [HMD Geometry Database](https://risa2000.github.io/hmdgdb/).

## `hmdq`
is a main tool, which connects to a VR subsystem and collects all available data about the connected devices (_tracked devices_ in OpenVR world, headsets, trackers and controllers in Oculus world).  

It can either display the info in the console, or save all the collected information plus some additional calculated data to a file in JSON format.

One needs to have either OpenVR or Oculus runtime plus the corresponding hardware installed and connected to use the tool.

## `hmdv`
is a complementary tool, whose only purpose is to process the data files created by `hmdq` and display them in a human friendly way.

Both tools use very similar command line interface. The only (major) difference is that `hmdq` reads the data it shows (and stores) from actual VR runtime, while `hmdv` reads the data from already stored file. The following paragraphs address both tools, unless it is explicitly specified otherwise.

## Installation
Get the latest binary ZIP from [releases](https://github.com/risa2000/hmdq/releases) and unzip it wherever you want to run it. The package should contain both `hmdq` and `hmdv` tools, this README file, LICENSE file, OpenVR API JSON file and some additional files to ease the use.
