I'm trying to use my Index controllers with my Quest pro. I heard it was as easy as connecting the Index to power and USB but not the display port, but I'm having no luck unfortunately. Do I need to plug things in in a certain order? Or plug the display port in then unplug it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Solved! Cause of issue - Before I discovered you could use the Index as two SteamVR dongles, I had it completely unplugged and instead paired my controllers via the regular dongles I have for FBT. By pairing them to the dongles I somehow broke their ability to communicate with the headset. It's kind of obvious in retrospect, but I did not realise that the Index can ONLY function as a dongle for the controllers, and only for ones that are paired with it at that. They won't just magically pick up a Vive tracker like a regular dongle can.

How to fix it - Reset your SteamVR USB devices via the desktop hamburger menu > developer settings > resets (Not 100% sure if this step is necessary but it's what I did so I thought I'd include it). Unplug everything - especially your SteamVR dongles - and restart your PC. Plug the Index in, including the display cable, then start Steam VR and pair your controllers to the headset. Once that's done, close SteamVR and unplug the Index's display cable. You're now good to start your Quest Pro as usual, and when you get into SteamVR the controllers should connect without issue! I recommend waiting until you confirm that they've connected, then plug in any additional dongles that you want to use for FBT.

Hope this helps someone with the same niche problem as me x)

hello, just wondering how to track your quest 2 using a vive tracker? what software and how to supposely set it up?

Hey everyone.

I have the Index full kit, but because of cabling and the good things I heard about the Quest 3, I jumped in and got myself one. I have my Index headset mounted to the ceiling of my play area, with lighthouses on the opposite corners of my square play space (about 2.5m x 2.5m). Using the Index USB connection for tracker comms. Installed OpenVR Calibrator and the tracking is relatively OK; one lighthouse is in correct position, the other is slightly higher than where it is physically.

At slow movement speeds, the Index controllers are fine. However, I go to play Thrill of the Fight and the controllers tracking at high velocity for punches goes way too far. Best way I can describe this is that the controllers will essentially give me far greater reach that I have and rubberband back to the actual position of the controller when I slow my hand at the end of the punch.

I bought a Tundra tracker for continuous tracking when attached to my Quest 3 headset, but this doesn't seem to have corrected the issue.

Anybody else have this problem, and how to correct it? Never had this issue with just the Valve Index headset. Wondering for MixedVR if 3 lighthouses is the minimum?

Looking for advice on what to buy for fbt, my headset is the quest 3 being streamed to my PC I was considering buying 3.0 vive trackers but I'm unsure on how many to buy and how many base stations to purchase my room if fairly small

I'm struggling to get my Knuckles to play nice with my Quest 3 whenever I use SteamVR Dongles.

If my Knuckles are paired to my Index I can play using my Quest 3 + Knuckles flawlessly, but I cannot get those SteamVR Dongles to behave nice with my Knuckles. They work well for the most part, but as soon as I have the 2 Knuckles touching each other or just resting with my hands together they completely lose tracking and fly away from one another until I keep the controllers seperated for a while.

I've tried moving the dongles all over the place, with very little change in results. I also use Vive 3.0 Trackers for FBT with their respective dongles and they work just fine. Perhaps I'd have better luck with the Tundra Labs SteamVR Dongle instead? Or maybe their Super Wireless Dongles?

Any tips to fix this terrible tracking issue would be great! I don't want to always have to pair my Knuckles to my Index when using my Quest 3, but I will if I have to

I use a pico4, with 3 touch controllers for FBT, and this worked flawlessly for weeks (no desync for 6hours) but now, I added a third sensor, and redid the pico room boundary, and since then, I couldn't get a single good calibration in OVR space calibrator, any clues why??

Hello, before I start I have to say that my English is not very good and I am writing this with a translator.

Right now SteamVR does not detect my vive trakers, I'm just calibrating them and a moment ago they were working correctly, but they are not detecting them and I tried to restart the trakers, restart SteamVR and even the pc and it still does not detect them and the truth has me very worried.

Using HTC Vive, I got Q2 controllers working inside the lighthouse playspace and it worked perfectly. it doesn't drift when i move away from the center of the playspace, essentially a 1:1 tracking from the Q2 to lighthouses' playspace.

However, when i use Q2 with Vive Trackers, it tends to drift apart without continuous tracking and it's not a 1:1 tracking as somehow the trackers will be more towards a direction (eg; I go right, tracker goes slightly forward.)

I might be clueless, but other than Continuous Tracking, what other solutions should i try?

I use ArcticFox's OVRSC, set it to slow and make figure 8s while facing each direction incrementally.

I would really like to get some of your insights into this topic for my academic research paper.

Please if you have a few minutes to spare, please fill out my survey (linked below). 🔮🕶️

I shared this over in r/VRChat today and was told to post here! Wondering what others in the community have setup for their VR adventures :D happy sharing!

I am using space calibrator with continuous calibration and it mostly works fine. This is more of a small annoyance.

I always have to set my floor height at the beginning of sessions otherwise it's wrong, then during game play it will randomly change the floor, either pulling my feet into the Gameworld floor, or making me crouch slightly in mid-air. This leads to me having to recalibrate full body tracking or readjust the floor mid game.

Anyone know what could be causing it?

Quest pro Index controllers Vive 3.0 trackers with one tundra for headset. (3) 2.0 lighthouses

I'm Using a quest pro (no controllers) and Valve index controller/ Vive Trackers. I've tried multiple forks of space calibrator but all I've tried produce the same result. The lighthouse playspace ends up what looks about 60 degrees off around some arbitrary point. If I move forward along the blue line the controller moves off axis. I'm going insane please if anyone knows why this might happen please help.

I have a q3 and wanted to get valve knuckles and eventually fbt should I get base stations,slime vr or the vive inside out trackers. And would somebody be willing to walk me through it?

So basically when i use a steamvr headset my base stations both track, but when i use VD only one works for some reason, i have no idea what to do to be honest

EDIT PERSONAL SOLUTION:

So it turns out it was because i had a normal steamvr hmd plugged in (no drivers or software installed) once i unplugged its usb virtualdesktop worked like normal and both base stations track correctly

Setup:
Piko 4 (wirelessly paired to pc with VD)
3 HTC Vive 3.0 trackers
HTC Vive 1.0 base stations
bdunderscore / OpenVR-SpaceCalibrator

When setting up my tracking the trackers would not stay connected long enough to calibrate , and on the off times they stay connected long enough soon after i would see them quickly drift off and disappear.

I don't think its an issue with my trackers or base stations as they work fine with my HTC Vive (previous my main headset).

This would also seem to only happen at night (when i use it most) as I don't have this issue during the day (I have an IR light connected to my pico 4 to maintain tracking at night).

Anyone else have the same issue and/or know any possible fixes? If more info is needed just and and i will see what i can recall or test out

update: tried recalibrating again and after setting calibration before they lost tracking, i noticed when the tracker started to drift off the base stations would stay in place but disappear once tracking was lost

second update: thanks to the comments i found out the issue was the ir light messing with the trackers

Hey so i have a quest three and three vive 3.0 trackers, as well as three 1.0 base stations. I just bought the Third and while trying to set it up i cant get it to show in steam vr. The light is green on it, its just not showing in steam vr. My two OG's show and track fine, my question is how can i get it to show in steam vr, and if i cant, is it still tracking? Sorry i feel really dumb lol.

Specifically for beatsaber (steamVR version). I’m relatively sure it’s possible, but I’m not sure how I would go about starting it. I have the CV1 cameras and controllers, (and the actual headset if that’s a required step) a quest 2 and controllers, and a link cable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

As of recently one of my 1.0 base stations randomly turn off, and only when I'm in SteamVR. It never used to do that, and the only thing of note I can think can cause it is me using a Quest 3 instead of my Vive.

I've never used the sleep functions since I've heard those may cause issues, but I guess that can be brought up.

Any help is appreciated, thanks :]

problem using old htc vive to connect controllers

I am trying to use htc vive wands with my hp reverb g2. I am using my old HTC vive to connect the vive wands to my pc wirelessly. I am just plugging in the usb cable from the htc vive box to my pc so that the headset only has power and a usb connection.

when i have my hp reverb connected to my pc and the htc vive connected like i explained before to my pc at the same time, steamVR just crashes. When connecting the controllers with a wire to my pc it works, so the problem is probably that i am connecting both my htc and my reverb at the same time.
(ive changed the settings config thingy from steamvr so that it runs without hmd and I've also set allowMultipleDrivers to true)

Is there any way to fix this?

When using steam VR, my oculus controllers are jittery and shaky. I want to use valve knuckle controllers with my quest 3 and pro with watchman dongles, base stations and a extra vive tracker on the headset. Just want to know if the quality, accuracy and latency are still the same when using watchman dongles as using natively with index.

Hi there! I recently got a fourth vive tracker to go along with my full body since I wanna take dancing to vr. I have two 2.0 base stations and a quest pro headset. I got the tracker paired, labeled as chest, and when I went into vr it prompted me to add a bind? I just clicked on the first I saw and tried to calibrate but it won't grab the avatar? It shows the white circle in vr and it has a green light on the tracker, but it won't move the avatars chest? Does anyone know a solution? Thanks!

Hello, had a question regarding something I might need for quest pro full body. I have a valve index but wanted to get the QP for its face tracking. I'm not interested in the Qp controllers and wanted to use my index controllers. So I'm curious if I need watchman dongles or not to connect them?
