Hi Warren Wang. Thanks for the comment. I ended up ditching the device as the tracking was too unstable i.e. a lot of missed frames. It is definitely not fit for use in Unity, which was also my aim. So in the end I ended up creating my own tracking with a few friends. We are about to release our project as an affordable and easy to use product for VR and AR development in either Unity or Unreal.

I got mine just a couple months before the Vive Tracker came out. Right now we use the Vive Tracker for most of our tracking needs. I'm not sure if modding the HDK would be a better approach or disassembling the Vive Tracker for an alternative approach. I've already gotten the tracker working with mobile VR to provide positional tracking and vive controller input for wireless mobile VR.

Warren Wang, have you also got orientation tracking from the diodes?

I've only finally found the documentation after digging for an extremely log time yesterday and looked through it. I have an idea how to simulate the shapes now and export the JSON files now but I've yet to test it for a few reasons, maybe you can/cannot help me with them but I was looking for solutions yesterday: 1) Where do we find longer cables for the sensors? as is right now, the ribbon strips are not long enough for us to securely fasten the sensors to anything meaningful. According to the guidelines, they shouldn't be co-planar and need to be a certain distance apart which can all be simulated 2) Where do we find bus cables for the boards? I have the same revision board as you where you have 3 pieces that sort of connect into a T shape. Unfortunately this configuration is too wide (on the sensor strip breakout board) so I'm currently looking for cable buses to allow for me to detach the modules (no luck so far) 3) Where do we get a battery that works with the system so we can use it wirelessly? We got a 3D printer in the office to specifically work with custom tracking solutions and the Vive Tracker so printing custom shapes has already been solved. It's more just down to the flexibility of the electronics for us. We're working out of Taipei right now and there are plenty of electronics off the shelf that are available but most of the items on the breakout board are too small and either require custom cable makers or a trip to shenzhen to find people who would make it for you with the skillset.

Which way those cables are connected? On the video it seems that black side of cable is facing towards pcb in chicklet sensor side and away from pcb in sensor breakout board side. Is that correct orientation?

Hi Enrico, I assume it is possible although I've only tried it with one. I think two or more base stations just increase the tracking space etc.

Diar Karim can I have your mail addres for any question?

Yes

heck

I miss this series...

This clip has not aired on any episode and will not every appear on an official episode (Since Malvo murders Mr.Numbers). It is most likely a deleted scene and may appear in a DVD release at some point.
