vrchat is a free game… that I have spent over $1,500 on… 😭
I bought 8 + 2 slimevr trackers for ~$450 which are really good but they only track rotation and not position which means it’s annoying to get them to match my body. They are releasing a new calibration method as well as focusing on the dongle instead of connecting to WiFi, but i still want something better.
There are alternative tracking methods, the most popular method is via lighthouse tracking which requires base stations to physically see the trackers. I bought used index controllers and 2 base stations on Facebook marketplace for $350. However they occlude very often in my setup, get confused by mirrors, and honestly I didn’t find the controllers that good 🤷♀️
I then ordered fluxpose trackers for $750 which track position and rotation fully wirelessly with no occlusion. Not to mention how small they are and they have HAPTICS??? they’re so small I actually plan on just using skin safe tape instead of straps. Absolutely amazing innovation by the development team. I unfortunately missed the Kickstarter and had to order day 1 which means I’m not gonna get them till 2027. Understandable for such a small team behind it but man it sucks having to wait.
One of the best things is all of the beta testers just going ham testing random shit like a bicycle in VR
I also got a Quest Pro which sells for $1,000 new. But I traded my steamdeck for it… before the prices of steamdecks doubled 😭
anyways here’s a gif of me running into my wall as Hatsune Miku
also might as well shout out [email protected] which I made (and haven’t posted to in forever…)
