HEY Quick "Update?" I noticed a couple folks that reached out to me were a bit confused on how to calibrate the BMI160s I made a QUICK rough video on how to calibrate them. (Fr it's rough and a nasty video by my standard but it get's the point across) Here's the Link! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9Sjacdo36u-pnU.html

TIP: Make sure that, whenever you're soldering, put the wired THROUGH the holes and solder the other side instead of on top. Also make sure you do not leave any wiring exposed.

This was the guide I needed for when I built mine. I accidentally ordered all micro usb and ended up smoothing out the cutouts on the 3d print to make them fit. For anyone reading this, make sure to order the right parts before jumping right in. It's very easy to get excited over affordable full body, but just make sure to check your orders.

I know that haratura X, mocapi, and others now work with the slime trackers. But bluetooth doesn't quite have the capability needed for low latency tracking unfortunately. I don't know of any projects that are utilizing it. Air tags only have GPS measurements, so they don't have the hardware capable to track.

@basilaldwin 5 ай бұрын

Really depends who you calibrate in game! This is actually a issue slime docs doesn't cover very well. In vrchat make sure legacy calibration is off, and you're calibrating by height, not arm span. This heavily reduces the skating issue cause the pivot point will be set properly with the IK. I've not noticed much skating with my setup, imu drift is a given, that'll happen. But honestly even with vive trackers you're subject to this (at a much smaller degree but I've seen it) Vive trackers are amazing and I love my 3.0s, these slimes work perfect when I'm traveling or want to show off fbt to a friend without bringing my base stations with me. (or currently how my boyfriend has all my vives and made me buy him index controllers 😂) There are trade offs with both tracking methods for sure. I long for the day when we don't have to deal with the trade offs of either of them.

This is definitely a project I'm going to do in time but I have an issue related to this I think: I have a Quest 2 and I feel the controller tracking is failing often. I'm aware it does it via the cameras and when it's not in screen it can't track (at least that's a big part of my theory) Now I'm curious if this improves with trackers like these? Or did I misunderstand how it tracks and there's just a hardware malfunction? It's not happening a lot a lot.. just enough for me to feel it can be better.

@datfurry- 5 ай бұрын

Maybe, since the imu doesn't require cameras, if you put your hand behind your head or something. It might still track well if you have elbow and wrist trackers, becuase those might be able to overpower the headset not knowing where your hands are at? Or maybe there's a setting to have the controllers not track location, that way the wrist tracker does it, and the wuest 2 can operate in The dark with only rotation tracking. I've never made any slimes, haven't ever looked at the software, so those are just my guesses .

@omnomgamer8633 The quest 2 and 3 use a mixture of IMU and IR led / camera tracking for the controllers. IMUs can only reliably track rotation and it is difficult to estimate hand position based on rotation. On the other hand knowing where your hips elbows and knees are is much simpler as you know how the bones move.

hi it's been 3 days and i still dont know how to set these up properly as when i calibrate it always calibrates wrong and while i heard the hip tracker may help the cord to make that work broke. I am not hating on the project but i think the cord was a bad idea because they can barely fit and because of that can easily break. I think it might be a better idea if the trackers can connect via bluetooth. I get that is 20 bucks extra but in my opinion it would be worth it if it doesnt mean breaking coards. I dont hate slime vr i just dont like the cord decision. Also, since so many people need help there isn't really much personal help. I get the slime vr is getting a lot of popularity but i think it wouldn't hurt getting a little more staff. Again i am not mad at the slime vr group i just wish they didn't use the cord thing and hired more staff to help the problems. I think slime vr has a lot of potential but i think a lot of the problems would be fixed if it were not for the cords.

The main thing I really want to do with this channel is just show people stuff I find interesting in my free time, I do have some cool ideas of some stuff I'll probably be uploading in short form content, the big concise videos take alot of time especially when I've been booked with work work every day of the month this month 🤣

Do you still use these?

I do! Just set myself up with three more for lower arms and hip tracking! I won't lie, I've had to open mine up a couple times and fix soldering, or re sew some straps. But over all no complaints after the 8 months of use.

For a tutorial, the background music is way too loud

Apparently? I apologize for that, I shoot alot of cinematic pieces for my clients, and when I edit and produce I use alot of music to drive the emotional building! I'll keep this in mind for any future tutorials as you're not the first to mention this. You're only as good as your last gig as I always say!

less than one minute , something wrong .. htc 2.0 and 3.0 is the same tech and same chip same tracking accuracy , juste the architecture and the battery change ..

Holy crap you're right, i can't find any documentation for it being objectively better tracking.. I can't be perfect all the time 😅 Subjectively, I think they lose tracking a lot less often personally. Aswell as I "feel" like the latency is better on the 3.0s. But can't find any documentation for that at all!
