Controllers bad tracking in vr #46
-
|
Hello, I started using the 2x ps eye and 2x ps move system. And there are a couple of problems: 1. In the application itself, both controllers separately see the cameras, but in vr at the same time both controllers do not work, one hangs in the air and does not respond, and the second is tracked in space. 2. The remaining controller is being tracked too high, I tried to recalibrate, but the vr controller is over my head. |

Okay, I was able to make the controllers and base stations visible in the steam. Everything works well, there is only one problem, the controllers are much higher than I am in VR, flying overhead. I'm going to go get the third camera and make a tracker on the helmet, I'll calibrate it again and see what changes |

Why are you using SteamVR overrides, they are overwriting themselves, remove them. |

If you track a PhoneVR HMD, you dont use Virtual HMDs, those are not used in VDM. You use a controllers instead and SteamVR overrides to override your PhoneVR pose.

No, I have an old PC helmet with 3 degrees of freedom. I was trying to do helmet tracking in space by a colored ball. The phone is not used anywhere in this assembly. |

The bug that is currently in the program does not allow me to change the vmt id of the helmet. He previously did not allow changing the id of the controllers, and according to the standard it is set to -1 |

That isnt a bug, theres only one HMD allowed. However, virtual HMDs are not used anymore because they dont transmit orientation data. Use a virtual controller (like you would use a virtual HMD) and use SteamVR overrides (Use the virtual controller to override your HMD pose). The only problem you will have is the SteamVR overrides replace both position and orientation of the original device. So if you dont have orientation with PSMSX, you wont have orientation with your HMD either. |

Thank you, even though your answer did not suit me. I will try to solve the problem. Buying another ps move is expensive for me, but using the phone is not convenient. When I have a helmet, it has its own 3 way degrees tracking and can be tracked using a colored ball. But it's vdm that doesn't want it to work. |

And, I tried tracking the phone using movetrackvr, but I can't set it up as tracking for the helmet in vdm. Do I need to use playspace? It's a pity that there is no tutorial |

And what exactly did you do? You use virtual controllers not virtual hmds. |

Okay, I reread your message above how to set up everything and made the phone become a virtual controller, calibrated the tracking of the colored ball and redefined it as helmet tracking. This is just terrible, but it works, I will wait for new updates when the virtual head-mounted devices item will work and it will be possible to use external 3dof data, now I have not been able to use this item at all, I would be ready for the fact that there is no 3dof. I managed to achieve normal tracking in steamvr. Now I will work on the task of excluding the phone from the project, and capturing data directly from the helmet, it still seems to me that it is possible to optimize this |

Define "just terrible", whats wrong. Also what VR head-mounted display are we talking about here. Im just going to assume you mean the Oculus DK1/DK2? |

By the word terrible, I meant that you have to use crutches in the form of a phone to track the helmet, because somehow you manage to get data from the psvr of the helmet. Yes, even why not make the ball work like a vive tracker placed on the head, then you do not have to replace the helmet data, the main thing is to explain it to steamvr. I'm talking about the antvr c2 virtual reality helmet, I use it because I managed to get it for $ 15, but you can assume that I use dk1, and there and there 3dof, they differ in the method of image output and screen resolution otherwise. The controllers are perfectly tracked, all I need now is to finish tracking the helmet in space using a colored ball, let me at least use third-party 3dof devices based on arduino, for example, I could and would like to create my own VR helmet. There is also a huge delay when using movetrackvr, which makes me even more reluctant to track the helmet with my phone. I'm sorry if this seems like a requirement to you, but what we have now is really huge crutches in the work that I'm going to fix |

Yes, I thought about it and really doubt that it is difficult to implement the transfer of ball coordinates to stramvr. I will be waiting for the support of third-party 3dof devices. In the meantime, it looks like I'll use it with my Kinect and third-party software like driver4vr |

Driver4VR supports PSMSX (as of recently), you use that for tracking. But dont expect any support from me there. |

The only way to solve the orientation issue is either to use a PSmove controller or an IMU (SlimeVR, Phone etc.) see Wiki for mor…
