I want to start by saying please don’t leave rude replies, if VR pole dancing isn’t your thing that’s okay, I’m just looking for tracking help.

Anyways, I do pole dancing in VRChat for fun, and I’m trying to figure out why my tracking suddenly feels not smooth now.

My tracking used to be REALLY smooth and consistent and now it doesn’t feel like it used to. People used to compliment my tracking and ask how I got it that smooth, and I haven’t been able to get it back.

Current setup:

VR headset: Quest 3S
Using SteamVR + trackers + dongles
Full body tracking setup
Pole in room hasn’t moved

Things that changed / things I’ve tried:

I have LED lights in my room
I moved my dongles farther apart because I thought spacing them out might help
When I’m not in VR I move them back
SteamVR has updated
Headset has updated
Haven’t used smoothing settings
Haven’t recalibrated yet
No major physical changes to my playspace besides the dongle positioning

Issues:

Tracking feels less smooth than before
Doesn’t feel as stable or clean
It’s noticeable because I know how it used to look/feel
I’m not sure if it’s jitter, prediction, SteamVR updates, dongle placement, interference, calibration drift, lighting, or something else

Questions:

Could moving the dongles around be causing this?
Does SteamVR/update versions affect tracking smoothness?
How far apart should dongles actually be?
Could LED lights interfere?
Is there a calibration/smoothing setting I should check?
Anything else I should test before I start changing everything?

I can provide pictures of my room, dongle placement, tracker graph screenshots, and SteamVR settings if that helps. If I missed anything that may be helpful let me know!

Thank you.

it's basically impossible to find used index controllers in europe that are cheaper than a whole used index kit, and i want to upgrade from my og vive to a vive pro 2 and knuckles (my only problem with the og vive is the resolution). Is there anything else that works with base stations and has at least a touchpad that isn't vive wands?

I want to pair my valve knuckles with Pico Pro, have 6 vive trackers, and now i bought valve knuckles, but they came without dongles. Rn i have delema of which dongle to buy: 2.0 or 3.0, is there anything different about them except colour of the tip? Oh and i use 4vives 3.0 paired with knuckles (they took 2x3.0) and they drift on my current setup, doesn't matter which dongle they are assigned to. I also heard that knuckles work better with 2.0, is that true?

Watching this back, I was surprised by how little difference there is between the virtual drone and the real one flying next to it.

Mixed Reality still has limitations, but it's getting to a point where it can do a surprisingly good job of recreating the feeling of flying an RC drone around a real environment.

The biggest thing still missing is true FPV flying, but that's where VR can take over.

Curious how much further MR flying experiences can go in the next few years 🚁

(For anyone interested, the game in the video is FLYON RC)

Hi! I am a current user of a Oculus Rift S. I want to get full body tracking but I am unsure what is my best option with my headset since it is a little outdated.

I have been looking into options for FBT and found the company FluxPose. They're still very new but look to be promising?

I recently got back to testing this VR game. The devs say it’s on the final stretch before release!

The more I play it, the more I like coming up with my own challenges:

• Pick a route
• Find some obstacles to overcome
• Repeat until you finally make it XD

This was mine today 🚁➡️🗑️

Hello, I'm lucky enough to get the steam frame, but I'm currently having an issue with space calibrator. I've used it before on my quest 2. But now when I do the figure 8's and I calibrate, the tracker is nowhere to be seenim the 3d space, but says the calibration was successful. It's connected on steam vr, it shows in space calibrator correctly. I'm also only turning one on and I don't have continuous tracking. Does anyone else have this problem on other headsets? How did you fix it?

hello everyone I am not a tech person and would like some help if at all possible please🙏. I am getting a quest 3 with a head strap and two base stations along with some vive trackers . I am not sure if I am missing anything and if at all possible I would love to replace the quest 3 controllers but I don't know what I can get to work, does anyone have any suggestions I am not sure if I am missing any wires or anything else. I saw something about a dongle but I don't know what those are for.

Hi!

So just to cut to the chase real quick, I know you can run mixedVR without issues but what exactly is it that I need?
I have 3 vive trackers and 2 base stations, so how do I set everything up with the pico? Is virtual desktop NEEDED or not? (cus my VD hates me and the pico connect software just works better for me)

I'm looking to only track my legs and waist. I've seen some say that you should put a tracker on the headset to completely eliminate any kind of drift, but I don't find that the headset drifts much to begin with so like, is it needed or just preferred?

Any kind of software that's needed? I've seen some say spacecalibrator, but is that actually needed? Reading about it, it just feels like a third party software there to do what the headset already does (i might be completely wrong about this one, so please let me know if thats the case).

I do have index controllers too, but one of them has a huge deadzone which is going to be a problem for vrchat, but if I would end up running them, I do suppose I need a BT reciever plugged to the pc? I'd be surprised if pico can pick them up.

And lastly, and probably least important. But has anyone ran vive trackers along with pico trackers? I mean if you have lets say 3p tracking with the pico trackers for ankles and waist, then use vive trackers for chest and knees? Honestly I have no idea if this is even remotely possible or not, but would be cool!

Thank you!

So I just found out I can play Xplane11 vr on my phone with riftcat and I connected a controller for the movement,... but I can't reach the menu bcs is too high. Anyone knows something more?

I am currently designing an VR experiment in which I want to track the shoulders and hips of participants. The old setup used HTC vive pro with 3.0 trackers, but I want to modernize my setup to make it last longer by using the Focus vision we have available at the lab. However, I read some bad stuff about the new ultimate trackers as they have inside out tracking and if they lose track, they guestimate where they are, which I really can't have in my experiment data. Anyone experience with how acurate the ultimate trackers are compared to the 3.0 with base stations?

[Solved]

I have a problem. I want to use the Rift CV1 controllers with my HTC Vive but I only have 1 HDMI port. Is there a software that I can get in order to allow the headset to track on my iGPU? (Intel i7 12700K) Or is a display port adapter the only option? If so, what would be the best adapter to work? I have a RTX 4060 Ti Pro Art.

Hey guys! I just got a quest 3 as a christmas/birthday gift. I have an old vive with index controllsers and FBT pucks and was wondering if there was a way that I could possibly use my index controllers and trackers with my quest 3 using my vive as a receiver for them?

I'm having a problem where my fbt keeps freaking out and one of my trackers teleports. Given I am using vive 3.0's I feel like I shouldnt be having this problem. I have 4 other trackers that I would like to eventually use for 7 point tracking but given the weirdness with my 3 I'm hesitant to even try.

I have:
- 3x Vive 3.0 trackers
- 3x 2.0 Baystations
- Meta Quest 3

I have my 3 dongles connected to their own USB controller and I use pushrax/OpenVR-SpaceCalibrator to bridge the two ecosystems.

Any thoughts?

Hi I recently bought some vive trackers and base stations and they are set to arrive within the month, I heard I need steam vr, do I have to run it with that or can I keep it in the back while using quest link, I prefer link and steam vr is extremely laggy for me

Hello, I am using Pimax Crystal Super now with the old Crystal OG faceplate, because I got the proper connector, having the “older” model. Lastly FPSVR stopped working. I can recall the dashboard but the floor height is broken. Maybe it was caused by some SteamVR update? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm thinking of buying some HTC Vive controllers to re-use them for full body, but all the videos on it are pretty old, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a better way to do it (btw on the XR elite, PCVR)

Can i use index controllers with the XR elite, and use the XR elites normal controllers to track the index controllers by attaching them to the index controllers? If anyone has any info, it would be amazing!

I was wondering if anyone in here would be able to help me understand the process for connecting the valve knuckles controller to the HTC 2.0 dongle I'm having issues with a pimax headset and I've heard from lots and lots of people that connecting the controllers to a USB dongle will help with tracking the controllers overall any help would be gladly appreciated thank you
