To use the current version of the SteamVR Plugin.

Unity Asset Store: Current version of SteamVR Plugin

Tip: If you'd like to use the newer version of SteamVR, be sure to read the PDF files (there are multiple) that are included in the plugin after importing it into Unity and examine the sample scenes. The PDF files are the official documentation for the plugin.

You can also check out these two blog posts written by Kristin Dragos, Learning Technologist. Note that using the newer version of SteamVR means that some of the videos will not be needed, but it's still recommended to watch them. They show what's involved with setting up many mechanics from scratch.
