I have been using VR equipment for mocap for a while now. I use this IK plug in: Vive Mocap Kit in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace

I have a Pimax, 2 vive controllers, and 5 vive trackers. It also supports Index controllers now for finger tracking.

16

Great and profoundly useful video . Where will you post the the blueprints to?

17

Thanks! A link to the project will be edited into the OP, and I’ll post a response as a reply as well. Working on making the project as small as possible!

18

And I’m still using a Kinect + Brekel. The true underdog XD I’ll check it out for sure.

19

Hey , it was great stream, thanks! Can you please provide more details how to flash /or what I need to buy if I have 4 Vive regular controllers? I just need to buy “tracker” for about 100 bucks and it include some dongle (compatible with all extra controllers), or even in that case I will need flash controllers?

20

To use 4 Controllers, you need 2 receivers(dongles). I used the Steamcontroller’s receiver, and updated firmware on it as per these instructions. Follow the steps under “Controller Dongle”.

**WARNING: **The documentation is old and states that the firmware update can brick the device. I would suggest unplugging your HMD.

The simpler way is to use a Vive Tracker. It works out of the box!

21

Any documentation or tutorials to help me use vive trackers with motion controllers? It only works with motion controllers.

22

Did you ever upload the project? I realize this was a while ago but it would be very helpful
