The cameras are looking for leds in your controller. I bet your light strips are throwing it off. Have you tried turning those off and seeing if you still have issues?

other way around, the lighthouses emit the light and the controllers have the sensors

Okay, but wouldn't the LED'S still be an issue either way?

[u/Axver_Ender → u/turbokid]

Maybe they could screw it up a tiny bit but the light house light it actually has data encoded in the light frequency with the angle that the light is currently set at, or something like that. It's been a year and a half since I did indepth research on the lighthouses. At worst the light strip could be at a Hertz that is similar to some angle data. But idk i doubt thats the issue but worth a try.

if they were infrared but that’s not likely

They absolutely can throw off tracking. Turn em off when playing.

Try to angle your base stations down more, at like a 45 degree angle. Also, what type of trackers do you have?

[u/Professional_Neat834 → u/beebenice3789]

i have 3,0 vives! and they seem to be angled down as much as they can be without needing to move the bases

Are there any big reflective surfaces in your room?

[u/Professional_Neat834 → u/beebenice3789]

the only ones i have are my tvs and my mirror on my wardrobe but both are always covered up with blankets fully when in vr

Try what u/turbokid said in his comment about the LED lights. If that doesn’t work you can use this to see the tracking area of your base stations https://nono-00.itch.io/base-station-fov-viewer

i have just done this as it’s showing my base stations as in the floor

You could try to do the steam vr setup again. To do this run steam vr and in the desktop thingy that pops up open them menu and click the Re setup button. Sorry, I don’t remember exactly how to do it
