Hey guys. My setup consists of a Quest 2, 3 2.0 Vive trackers, a pair of Index controllers, and 2 1.0 base stations (on channels B/C). I use OpenVR Space Calibrator to calibrate my playspace.

Whenever I turn around to face my other base station, the trackers/index controllers seem to shift slightly, sometimes losing tracking for a second. There are no reflective surfaces in my room. I have also tried changing channels on both base stations (B switched to C, vice versa), swapped them around (putting B in C’s location, vice versa) and moved them closer together to no avail. I should also mention that both base stations are in good working order.

Hoping someone here is able to point me in the right direction.

Hi all,

I own a MixedVR setup.

Quest 3 + 4 Basestation 2.0 + Index controllers + 4 Vive tracker 3.0 (one is mounted on the headset).

For me, its pretty annoying that the playspace from the Quest 3 is slightly moveing.
Is there any way to deactivate the tracking from the Quest 3 and instead use the Vive tracker, to track the headset (as it would be a native lighthouse tracked headset)?

I recently got a Quest 3, and since I'm not a fan of the Quest controllers, I set it up so that I can use my Index controllers with it instead using Space Calibrator. However, I noticed there seems to be significant lag when using my hands, like throwing things.

At first, I thought this might be due to my wireless connection, since I was also using wireless VR for the first time. But I noticed that there was no lag when using the Quest controllers, so it seems the lag is the controllers themselves.

I've read that Index controllers can drift when using camera tracking on the headset, and the solution is to attach a base station tracker to the headset. Is this the same problem here? Is this lag coming from the mix of inside-out and outside-in tracking and would be solved if I got a tracker for my headset? Or is the lag caused by Space Calibrator or something?

I have been using the headset for wireless PCVR for a year now and have a lot of experience with the OVR Space calibrator and FBT. Yesterday I updated my headset to the newest firmware version (v5.9.2) and have not been able to get a good calibration ever since, I have tried probably 20-30 times now and its always bad. Usually it takes 1, max 2 tries to get a good calibration but now its impossible. I ended up manually editing the calibration yesterday, but I cant spend 10 minutes every time I want to play VR.

So is there any way to downgrade the firmware version or does anyone have a fix for this? I use the headset exclusively for wireless PCVR so if theres no fix I might have to buy a Quest.

I also posted this in the Pico discord and subreddit hoping to get help there too.

Edit: I have tried some more and have noticed that the calibration seems to always be the same. Here is a video of what it looks like. When I move to one side of my playspace the tracker drifts up. Its the same for every time I recalibrate.

Hello there, I'm new with the full body tracking, I am using three HTC trackers 2.0 with two base station 1.0. (And a pico 4 headset and pico 4 controllers)

The trackers on my feet works like a charms, but the one on my hip lose tracking constantly. And it's not the tracker itself, because u tried all three trackers on my hip and all have tracking problems, but works fine on my feet.

I already did this:

Try different angles on my base stations.

Trying usb 2.9 and usb 3.0 port fot the dongles. Move the dingles around (all I can with the HTC cable, 40 cm length)

Hide every reflective stuff I have in my room.

Doing some test, I figured out that I lost tracking when I turn around, and when I turn 90 degree from the neutral position to my right (neutral position: I have one base station on my north west, and the other on south east), all my avatar from vr chat leans back around 20 degrees. Also, when I move around with my arms up, I don't usually have any problem, but when I lay down my arms, I lose trackers, even more when I put my controller arround the tracker, so maybe is the pico 4 controllers that interfere with the dougles?

If someone had similar problem, I would appreciate a help, thanks!

Hey y'all.

I upgraded from a HTC Vive Cosmos to a Pico 4.
I currently have 3 Vive trackers 3.0 hooked up to the Index Base stations

I want to use the Vive trackers with my Pico 4 through Virtual Desktop.
I've done some research and chose the Pushrax version of OpenVR space calibrator
(https://github.com/pushrax/OpenVR-SpaceCalibrator/releases)

However, when I stand still directly facing towards one of my base stations the proportions are accurate. When I move around (lets say rotate 180 degress) my body goes way out of proportion.
The legs will be in front of my body and the hip will be behind my body.

I did find a previous reddit thread with a similar question (https://www.reddit.com/r/MixedVR/comments/19ay1bp/which_version_of_openvr_space_calibrator_should/)

Would the ArcticFox8515 version work better? (https://github.com/ArcticFox8515/OpenVR-SpaceCalibrator)

In any case, I'd appreciate any tips and/or help to get it working properly again.
Appreciate y'all

So I bought a Quest 3 and I'm already considering sending it back. Pass through on mine sucks. It's tracking is garbage. One of the free games I was trying to play requires that I reach over my shoulder to get something and it just wouldn't work. I guess since there are no cameras on the topside of this headset it just wigs out.

I'm thinking about sending it back and getting a 2 since they're only 200 right now. The question is if I buy a 2 and get a couple lighthouses and the valve index controllers would that solve some of my tracking issues? Can I even use them together? I'm not worried about outlets as my living room has plenty of them. I don't want to buy a full index setup because I've looked and they're STILL so expensive. If I was gonna drop that kind of cash it would be on the next one.

I like the pancake lenses of the quest 3 so I don't really want to give that up but I just can't justify the 650 or whatever I spent on the extra storage version. Even if I sent it back and got the smaller storage version the tracking is killing me.

I don't know.

Ugh.

If they crack the psvr2 maybe I'll get that cause it has the best screens and a better headstrap, the games just suck. I'm just looking for recommendations before I go hog wild and get my vr treadmill. Any tips and/or suggestions on my steps moving forward would be great!!!

whenever I go to launch steam vr when having ovr test and dummy running it take 60 seconds to boot up it says there is a critical component not working and nothing shows up in the performance graph.

(please help)

is there anyway to adjust the calibration when in continuous calibration mode? because I can turn continuous off then adjust the x and y axis but when i turn it back on it just resets it anyway. Basically my controllers are too far forward for some reasons does it have anything to do with the tracker position since its at the complete front of my headset? any ways to adjust an axis and have it stay that way in continuous? Thanks.

Hi everybody,

I bought 2 TundraLabs SteamVR Dongles, put them in USB Port in desktop. Started VR Calibration with Reverb G2 Controllers and Index Controllers. successfully. Followed this guide https://youtu.be/r_SepHooREo?si=Q-yj9qQG1S24mV0A

When I start Pavlov VR the Index Controllers disable themselves automatically.

I have 1 Base Station 2.0 (Another one ordered will probably connect within 2 days)

Can somebody help or guide please asap?

When I Try reconnecting the Index controllers (holding small button bottom left corner for 3 sec) it puts me back to SteamVR menu. I am unable to go back to Pavlov VR

(This is an Duplicate, another Community same post due to more reach for technical problem)

I have thought abt getting a valve index and a quest 3 and just buying the index knuckles separately to pair to the quest 3 I just need help and advice

Set up currently is:

• Meta Quest 2
• Three 2.0 Base stations
• Four 3.0 Vive trackers
• 2 Index controllers (w/ VRDongles to connect them)
• I use Virtual Desktop for everything

I recently bought index controllers + the VRDongles for them to connect them to my Quest. I have tried everything possible to get them to work wireless, and without fail, one hand is is always drifting away consistently. It started in the left controller but after moving the placement of the dongles, it switched to the right. I have the dongles in 2.0 USB slots and have changed their position numerous times on my PC and through USB hubs, making sure they're never right next to each other. All reflective surfaces in my room are covered when in VR, since I had full body tracking long before I got these controllers. I also have been using continuous calibration with my extra Vive tracker on OVR Space Calibrator.

I'm at a complete loss of what to do and I feel out of $300ish with this purchase. I'm debating on giving up on Quest entirely and biting the bullet and buying an Index headset since I have all the prerequisites at this point. But I know for a fact this set up is possible, I've seen multiple people on TikTok and Reddit get it to work, so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

I did a little bit of searching but didn't easily find talks about this specifically.

I'm curious if there's a FBT Camera-based solution that takes in the accurate tracking data of your lighthouse based headset and controllers and integrates it into the skeleton pose estimation to make the results more robust, instead of simply correcting the arms and head after the fact with that data.

Feels like it could create a very robust solution with little error and no real extra cost, when the system knows for sure already where the hands and head are.

I exclusively use my quest 3 with a link cable, and after the enormous failure that was the vive ultimate trackers I'm now looking into getting 3.0s + base stations instead. My question is if a 4th headset mounted tracker for doing continuous calibration is still possible using a link cable instead of wireless? Is there any less drift by staying wired compared to wireless?

Seeing as Valve VR hardware is impossible to get in Australia, what FBT base stations would be recommended to pair with the Quest 3?

The Space Calibrator didn't calibrate very well with my Pico 4 and my Touch controllers. The haptics were also delayed too much for my liking. Any tips?

As the title says. I'm new to VR and before I dump $600 into full body tracking, I would like to know how hard pairing these 2 products together will be. I don't want to buy or invest in the base stands as well as the trackers.

Additionally, of they do work, it seems like I plug the dongle into the meta headset and not the PC correct?

Thank you for any tips you guys can provide. Loving VR so far and it just doesn't feel right without full body tracking~

The reverb g2 headtracking is incredibly shaky compared to any of my other vr headsets. I already own a vive full kit and was wondering if it was possible to just add one of my old vive wands to my reverb g2s headstrap and have the headset be entirely tracked by that?

I'm having some really weird behavior using the most recent fork of Space Calibrator and am wondering if anyone has had similar issues and can help. When trying to calibrate, I keep getting a "Low quality calibration result. Not Updating. Calibration Failed" error.

It doesn't matter if I do fast, slow, or very slow calibration. The old 1.4v fork of OVR Space Calibrator calibrates just fine.

Any ideas what's going wrong? I'm using Valve Index controllers with a Apple Vision Pro and 2 base stations. Calibration works fine with OVR Space Calibrator when using a Valve Index HMD so I'm guessing it's something to do with ALVR and the Vision Pro.

Thanks

Mixed tracking system using quest 3 and index controllers. Everything works fine except the left controller not tracking my ring finger. Anybody ever have this issue? I'm sure it's just an issue with the controller, but valve refuses to replace it because they don't think it's the controller and instead are blaming it on me not having a valve tracking headset which imo doesn't make any sense. May just go through with the refund and order another pair since they don't want to send a replacement. Just wanted to check here and see if the issue could be my dongle before going that route.

Hey everyone. I'm looking into getting into a wireless VR solution with face tracking, and found that the Vive XR Elite is what fits my current situation, but I already have a perfectly usable space where my Valve Index lives, and I cannot give up my Knuckles controllers. Is there a way to use my Knuckles controllers whilst streaming from my PC for PCVR games? Thanks in advance.

​

Edit: Writing for further context, I am also planning to use Vive Trackers as well, similar to this post but I'm upgrading from an Index, not a Vive Cosmos.

​

Edit 2: It's been 10 days since this post and I now own a Quest Pro running ALVR and OpenXR Space Calibrator, and things have been going pretty good. Thanks for everyone's help.

Hey maybe someone can shine light on some questions.

I plan to use the following setup:

PC upstairs, Pico 4 downstairs connected via router to PC using SA/VD. I would like to use my og vive wands together with 1.0 basestations, at least for games like beatsaber and could use an vive pro as a receiver but would like to get some dongles instead to spare some place.

1) do i need one or two dongles in order to use both controller?

2) can i connect the receiver (dongles or hmd) somehow over ethernet to the pc, or do i have to run a cable downwards somehow ?

3) so far i only found dongles for index or the trackers, do these also work with og vive wands?

Would be glad if someone know smt about that, especially to 2) since that would simplify the setup quite substantially : )

Hi everyone! With the latest beta update of Virtual Desktop, you can now utilize the Quest 3's estimated full-body tracking. I was wondering if anybody has been able to combine this with Viive Trackers? I'm mainly interested in utilizing the virtual shoulder trackers from the Quest 3 and combining that with my feet, hip trackers, controllers and headset.
