[@TheGamer-nj6lf]

Thank you for making this video! It really helped me to set up my trackers.

[@blockmuse]

Well presented Sir! Just got mine!

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy the tracker.

[@fonkuuzumaki]

So well explained thanks you

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Glad you found it useful

[@adrians_reality]

Thanks, this helped a lot

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Glad it was helpful 👍

감사합니다. 덕분에 풀트래커도 걱정 없이 시킬 수 있겠네요 연결 방법을 알려주셔서 감사드립니다

[@Bellaistic]

Thanks man you really helped me with my trackers

[@erov8229]

omg thank u

[@jerrystash]

Very nice

[@toasteroven7224]

I have always had my three dongles basically on top of each other and I have never had any issues, however anytime I want to load steam be I have to reconnect my controllers five or six times before they get tracked, I used to assume it was just the controllers connecting to the dongles instead of the headset, but even after disconnecting the dongles I still had the issue, I guess the moral of the story being stuff run by steam work in mysterious ways.

[@domi3352]

Nice video, I want to buy them for Christmas, but I don’t know if it will work with my oculus quest 1. I know that the 2.0 trackers worked with my quest, but is the 3.0 the same?

[@yvesrenaud6169]

hey, nice video, do you know if I can make it work without headset ?

[@niceswish5205]

I've got one 1.0 base station, i'm feeling good

Yo what's good hahaha

[@ErikMalkavian]

VERY Informative Video. Personally I think the near future is in AR / XR but I love the current usage of these VR Trackers / Pucks

[@BenjaminK123]

i own a quest 2 and just dropped a little over £700 for 3 trackers and 2 base stations along with some other bits, so its going to be a month of beans on toast for me but ill least ill be in full body while i am eating me beans on toast lol, for years i have always wanted full body and do spend allot of time on vrchat most of my friends on there have full body, i have been using some thing called april trackers and this give decent full body tracking but that was the hook for me to finally buy the vive trackers as there the true daddy of FBT in vr. Great video :)

[@kizzychiz]

This is the same for me, picked up a used index full kit and 3.0 trackers. Always wanted full body in VR so I don’t mind eating beans on toast for a while lol

[@horacemai7032]

Thank you for sharing this great video, I am wondering how to set up the full body tracking in Unity?

[@horacemai7032]

with OpenXR

[@user-jo1cm5ew8d]

Hi i'm trying to use same product and from the developer guideline, it says it should output 3.3V but the output I have is only around 0.3V. I've searched about this problem on the internet but all of them I found didn't have any updates. I wonder if you could help me out.

[@GuyNamedWinter]

Do I have to have a light house sender or is base stations enough?

[@sammey-yx3op]

can you show a video how to set up vive base station

[@jackmiller3215]

I did all of the following steps but im not geting the vive trackers on my status menu or manage vive trackers in controlers.

[@alt5752]

Which base stations can I use 1.0 2.0 or either of them

[@SoDead89]

will the vive trackers still pair on steamvr if i don't have vive headset?

[@ProgramBoi101]

Maybe one day I'll be able to play the Valve Index and have fun like the others.

[@jamiegosling8850]

why do you need the baystashion when fanger traking is a fing

[@8ZEN0N8]

Do i really need five different cables connected to my pc at all times? (3 for trackers, 1 for mouse, and 1 for my headset) what if my pc doesnt have five whole ports ready for it?

[@SoDead89]

i don't have a Vive headset I got a Rift S wondering why its saying make sure your headset is connected

[@-ashleykitty8347]

Can I use a Xbox 360 kinetic for a base station?

[@gogo2325100]

Can you (or anyone) guide me on setting these up for blade and sorcery on my Valve Index step by step. I am so frustrated and I spent a shit ton on all this tech. Where are the options on the menu and why is your menu blues and blacks when my menu is browns and yellows. What the heck

[@segnen9765]

does the valve index base stations work? lol

[@Chasethacutie]

Is the waist strap good for bigger people? Ive been trying to find some for my nephew

[@Acoryie]

Kiwis vive tracker straps are amazing- im a bigger girl and they just fit ❤

[@KevinSD44]

do the dongle come with the tracker 3.0 smartphone

[@gtajackson7220]

Hey can I use the 3.0 with oculus quest 2?

[@Mtdewlover]

My steam vr settings only shows startup/shutdown and OpenXR idk how to fix it

[@superani4704]

Compatibility with pico4?

[@spacenugget385]

is it viable with the oculus quest 2 ?

[@JJ-cs9ku]

Do you need to have a base station to be able to use the vive trackers? Will the trackers work without the base station?

[@c0zm0s78]

Watch the video

[@Footythrowback]

Hi, would these help at all on a motion simulator for racing games?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Yes in principle that makes sense but there are easier solutions I suspect. I know YAW VR as an example does the motion correction automatically in their app.

[@cheeky577]

What vr do I need?

[@regikazih1468]

are vive trackers 3.0 compatible with base stations 1.0? I've search on some pages and says yes but, still not sure

[@user-xs6tf2fh6h]

Yes they are

[@CHIP-2X4]

yeah i thought that to, i got confused when he said the 2.0 base stations 😂

[@PrestonDaw]

It won’t let me connect my trackers it turns solid green and all but dosnt show up on steam vr

[@Thegoldentouch16]

CAN YOU USE AN OCULAS

[@heidi_mirisola]

manage vive trackers isn't showing up help 😭

[@NeroModeGM]

how do you take the finger tracking on 7:30?

[@coob203]

that's becose of index controllers

[@Briixaz-]

If want of the tracket dont want to connect what should I do? I mean they all connect and pair, but no matter what order I turn it ON 3rd one never turn green....

[@fonkuuzumaki]

Same here

[@Briixaz-]

@@fonkuuzumaki is a driver tho. Have to update the drivers of the PC

[@ghostedgod5765]

Do I need to stay plugged into a PC to use full-body tracking or only for setting it up? With Oculus Quest 2 will I need to stay plugged into a PC or only when setting it up? I’m trying to see which would be better for gaming or even VRChat, on Oculus Quest 2 you do need to stay plugged in through the Link if you want to see custom avatars on PC. Is this the same for Vive?

[@CJ_VR]

it doesn’t work with quest

[@spikems.]

@@CJ_VR it works with quest just not standalone, you need steam vr and a laptop/pc that can run vr games

[@CJ_VR]

@@spikems. these vive trackers don’t unless u get extra stuff

[@spikems.]

@@CJ_VR yeah its not standalone, the quest doesn't support full body tracking without a pc

[@hughmongous2554]

"Is this the same for Vive?" No, I'm using a Vive Pro (not the Pro 2) with trackers and the wireless adapter, everything works fine. Can't vouch for the Quest, might be too much for it, but since you asked about the Vive as well ...

[@quez108]

Hello ik this video is old but can i use these trackers with 1.0 base station?????

[@MrBaracu]

Yes you can as far as i know.

[@skoy91]

Do somebody know, is it possible to use more than 2 lighthouse trackers to increase the playing zone ? And can I mix version 1 with 2.0?

[@neapolitanvt]

I know you can use more than 2. However, mixing the 2.0 and 1.0 I don't believe is possible, not entirely sure tho

[@sap1103]

What is the best headset to use tho

[@KristenFamCatchers]

Htc or index

[@adamahhh1994]

great video but you forgot the part on how to enable full body in vrchat

[@samkomartvon9744]

do i need the lighthouse for these to work?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Yes you do

[@brendanwike9761]

how does it know where you khees are

[@DXDgamingsubnow]

does it work fine with 2 2.0 base stations or i absolutly need the third base station ?

[@revo7814]

I hear 2 is the absolute minimum you want, 3 is recommended, and 4 is the absolute best. I personally got 3 stations.

[@awesomejimthethird]

2 is fine for me. I use 8 trackers for Vrchat,. It just depends on how big of a room you have and how they are positioned.

[@consulgaming6960]

Is a waist tracker really necessary? I plan on using my two trackers to kick enemies in blade and sorcery.

[@CloudyLuvsSlvts]

I haven't tried 2 trackers in blade and sorcery but I believe it works and I think it also work in vrchat as well now

[@someonemysterious6993]

I can’t connect more then one, it won’t let me

[@hiddenstar9962]

Do you need a pc for this? Or will it work with quest 2?

[@novii1283]

In order to connect the body tracking the quest needs to be connected to a pc to make it compatible.

@@novii1283 And with base stations.

[@FillMyLarder]

Bit late, I know. small part of miscommunication, you do NOT need to put your arms up while in the T pose. you do not need to match the controllers to your avatar T pose.

[@branbranentertainment407]

So i followed all the steps till it came to manage vive trackers theyre not appearing, is it because im on oculus quest 2?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

You need to be using light house sensors which come with the index or vive pro systems

[@BIN.CHILLING.]

@@VirtualRealityPilot Light house sensors means base stations?

Which base station should be used with 3.0 tracker?

Can you put the tracker at the back and play normally in vrchat, if can, how so?

yes you can

So I can’t connect my third controller the blue light stays on and when I try to pair it it says controllers already paired anyone know how to fix this?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

Do you a separate dongle for the vice tracker? The headsets only have 2 x Bluetooth slots for the controllers.

[@SugarRushVr]

today, i bought a 2nd base station and its not being detected

[@JordanCraig-tp7ys]

could you summarize what you need in text? i find it more easier since I'm researching to get full body tracking and its price etc. please respod when you can.

i have a question why my trackers won’t show on steamvr?

Have you attached the Bluetooth dongles that came with them?

Or the Tundra tracker later this year.

why can't i see the logo of it?

It should be right in the centre of the tracker, it’s the vibe symbol

[@kaeaja]

I keep getting this SUPER ANNOYING calibration issue with my 3.0 Trackers where I'll stand perfectly aligned and calibrate, but then when I say, put my feet together in VRC my avatar's feet don't perfectly line up. IE I'll put my two big toes together side by side (not front to front) and they wont line up, or they will line up but when I do a V split with my feet with my ankles still touching, one foot will be further forward then the other, or it will do both annoying problems (in that my two big toes will neither line up and when doing the V split one foot will be further forward then the other by a noticable amount, almost like instead of rotating at the ankle, it's rotating at the front of my foot, which it doesn't always do, and I am wearing my trackers on my feet.) If you can tell me how to stop this annoying problem, I would be super welcoming of the help. It doesn't always do this which is the strangest part of it all, and I can attest that it isn't because of anything in my room being changed, because I never change anything.

[@shadowwolf3864]

Hey did you ever solve the problem?

[@kaeaja]

@@shadowwolf3864 Nope still does it, only thing I can do to counter it is manually move my tracker orbs within vrc thanks to the update that added such a feature, but even that I'm annoyed with having to do as trying to reach for the orbs within vrc can be annoying.

[@Karayall]

Not yet solved ? I always have that problem in addition of that i have dislocated calibration spheres 😢

[@iaddison1455]

What if you not able to name your trackers for some reason?

[@VirtualRealityPilot]

You should still be able to allocate them to a foot etc… in steam vr
