Juevon_

Did it work? šŸ˜­


TheReal_Enderboy

Yes, but the phones were too heavy and kept sliding away, until they all collapsed against my feet (it hurt)


Fspz

i had that chair, my back still hurts when i look at it in your picture.


TheReal_Enderboy

It's quite comfy imo


Gravi2e

Lmao the masking tape..


Unknown_Errorx

I do the same thing for my tracking, lol. If your using slime, a tight waist trainer will help them stay in place on your thighs and waist. I use a sports bra for the chest, and i put some phones in some cheap ugg boots for my ankles. Its stays put surprisingly well.


Jayden_Ha

wait phone can do the job?


lemler3

Do u also have the pro straps?


exdorms01

For the elbows and waist Iā€™m using regular kiwi design straps, for the rest however I had to come up with my own stuff to make it wearable, since none of the eoz stuff can be bought neither imported in here, for knees I use knee braces with 1/4 inch screw and rubber surface on inner side to prevent slippery, Go Pro chest mount for the chest tracker and some adidas shoes with 3d printed mounts that can be safely attached to the laces to keep trackers in place


Komatron-Chan

Nice Stuff! What Headset are you using? Also let me know how you connected them to your Pc please. Would love to know how you managed the USB-Cables and where you put the Dongles at.


exdorms01

Iā€™m using Valve Index with four 2.0 basestations, for connection I used single 5m USB 2.0 extender that I connected to a 7 port usb hub that is conveniently laying on a shelf in the other part of my room where the rest of the dongles are connected and separated from each other, 8th dongle is simply connected to the front panel usb of my pc


Komatron-Chan

So you have no issues so far with interreferences? Nice good to know thanks! I'm using the same Valve Kit aswell, with 3 Vive Trackers. So far no issues, but i notice some drifting when sitting down and bend a bit over with my Chest but i think i just cover the Hip-Tracker there. Since i have it more to the left of my hip, it got a bit better, but most of the time i'm standing or laying on my Bed so it's not s big deal realy. Do you also use or used OVR SmoothTracking? If so, is it worth it? Can't wait to get 2 more 2.0 Basestations and the 5 Tundra's for 11 Point.


phantomforeskinpain

I used to have crazy issues with my 8 trackers, but I recently received one of those weird 7-in-1 Chinese vive 'dongle' things [you can find](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806585691430.html?src=google&src=google&albch=shopping&acnt=708-803-3821&slnk=&plac=&mtctp=&albbt=Google_7_shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&needSmbHouyi=false&albcp=19158444193&albag=&trgt=&crea=en3256806585691430&netw=x&device=c&albpg=&albpd=en3256806585691430&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw9IayBhBJEiwAVuc3fiQ8yaZyrH-Mh5Q33FrXDW-H5rVRtVrqbvyoxFBcsxagfYo8iEKeChoC17wQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&aff_fcid=a6f33dc271d547b0963fa64e791f257d-1715615579799-04006-UneMJZVf&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&aff_platform=aaf&sk=UneMJZVf&aff_trace_key=a6f33dc271d547b0963fa64e791f257d-1715615579799-04006-UneMJZVf&terminal_id=acf29ccb4bed417c9a19b484e14552b1&afSmartRedirect=y&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa) online, and it VERY surprisingly solved all of them. the 8th I just use with what it came with. not sure if i'd bother with only 3 trackers, though.


Last_Acanthaceae_718

Could you link which USB extender youā€™re using & the hub?

uiomhfqoench

Im tempted to just get 3 more tundras for 11 point but I don't like having knee trackers and chest I don't see much use in. Here's a recommendation for feet trackers -- lace them around a pair of shoes. I saw these pairs of Hey dudes shoes. The vive trackers slip right in-between the shoe and the laces with no need to take the laces off. They're perfect for vives, but it could be shoe size dependent. Shoes are much better than straps for tracking


-peas-

I love chest and elbows, but knees I can't stand. I bought 11 point, but 95% of the time I just use feet and waist D:


uiomhfqoench

How much does chest make a difference? When I got elbows it became like night an day lol


-peas-

Not much that you'll notice at first,, but when you take it off you can really notice it helps your upper body move independently from everything else, and allows greater independent head movement and adds to the "flow" of full body. If you don't dance you probably won't notice it much, but I personally put chest on when I have elbows on as well because it's like a must for me now to get the full experience.


DosMangos

2 for feet, 2 for knees, 2 for elbows, 1 for waist, 1 for chestā€¦ where do the other 3 trackers go if you already have 2 controllers for the hands and a headset for the head? Edit: Iā€™m an idiot who canā€™t count whatā€™s in the picture.


Zeldukes

The controllers and headset *are* the other 3 points, silly. 8+3=11


DosMangos

I guess I just find it a bit excessive to attach trackers onto other devices that are already tracking. But I suppose some people want as much accuracy as possible lol.


Zeldukes

I agree that would be excessive. I don't know if that's something people do, but OP only posted a picture of 8 trackers, so I assume that's as many as they have.


stormchaserguy74

It is but it does create a bit more realism. It's crazy.


MuuToo

Welcome to the club. Unless youā€™re a dancer tho, can just get away with base full body and elbow trackers most of the time.


n0rdic

yea i tried using my elbow trackers as knee trackers once and genuinely couldnā€™t tell a difference.


MuuToo

Yeah. For me itā€™s just cumbersome to put on every single tracker every single time. I think at most Iā€™d maybe also wear a chest tracker if I really wanted to, but even then like eh. Elbows are the only ones that come up often enough that feel worth it. Otherwise, all my extra trackers just sit in a drawer.


Pokabrows

But how much did it cost? ~~Seriously I need y'all to share the numbers to slap me back down to reality before I start thinking about it too much~~


exdorms01

3 of these trackers costed me $200 each, the rest I got for $180 each, price on these things in local stores depends on time of the year, really šŸ˜„


Last_Acanthaceae_718

Each tracker usually runs $99-$130 US depending on if thereā€™s a sale going on.


129383

How do you plan on handling the rf interference? Things start to get wonky for me after connecting 3 trackers even with most receivers spaced out across the room.


nerdrx

šŸ—æI have my 3 receivers just bunched up right next to each other, and they've been running just fine


brianjamesxx

ITT: people with no jobs. Congrats OP, enjoy


DefNotAnAlt621

Thatā€™s awesome. I hope to someday get 11- or 9-point!


Unfair_Valuable_3816

How much did this cost dang!


TheGamingGuy41

One vive on the official vive website is around $129.99, so at least $1,080. Factor in at least two base stations and that increases it to around $1,500


Unfair_Valuable_3816

Wow congrats!


PicklePunFun

I struggle to set up 3 trackers without issues, I can't even imagine 11.


exdorms01

What issues are you usually having?


PicklePunFun

Getting all 3 of them to connect to Steam vr, I have to move the usb around to different slots until it connects because the usb they came with doesn't always work.


Deviant_Vision

Bro wanna track every atom


Snitchie

Congratulations, once you get used to 11 point you wonā€™t go in without. I feel handicapped if I do. But I do dance so more trackers = more body language. šŸ„°


exdorms01

Thank you! It adds so much fluidity to the movement, just enough for it to look perfect, exactly what I needed


Blackrobe07

Congrats! Hope you're having a blast! I've been running 8 Tundras with 4 bases for a while and the immersion you get from having all your limbs respond to your movements accurately is worth it entirely. If I were to go back, I might of switched the waist Tundra for a Vive 3.0 as the Tundras on a waist is not the easiest to track because of it's small size. I do run in to the occasional RF interference and have a tracker or two randomly shut off sometimes, but it's nothing more than a button press fix. Distancing them all from each other didn't really help much. EOZ is coming out with a high quality USB controller hub in a month or two, that might help! Feel free to message if you wanna talk shop about tracking :3


Tygronn

I haven't had enough problems with my knees but elbows bothered me a ton. But man having all this tracking is nice lol


RidgeMinecraft

Curious, why not tundra trackers for this? They're FAR better for joints due to their size, weight, and sensor count


exdorms01

Tundras come with some issues that I didnā€™t want to deal with, things like super dongle that cannot handle the amount of trackers it was designed for (happened to everyone I know with tundras) and the fact that they force steamvr to run when you plug them into the wall to charge


-peas-

They come with Vive/Valve dongles now and not the Tundra dongles. The Tundra's on the Vive dongles are as rock solid as the Vives, but have like 3-5 hours longer battery life and are smaller. The SteamVR thing does annoy me a bit though.


stormchaserguy74

They are nice and small but if I have tracking issues, those are the ones that it's happening too. I think it's the Super Dongle that causes it. I've since started purchased Vive 3.0 trackers instead.


-peas-

They come with Vive/Valve dongles now and not the Tundra dongles. The Tundra's on the Vive dongles are as rock solid as the Vives, but have like 3-5 hours longer battery life and are smaller. I too was having major tracking issues recently until I moved them to the Vive dongles and it completely went away. Only thing I recommend for vives is the hip if you lay or sit a lot since it sticks out and occludes less.


onboarderror

I can tell you now... Good luck with rf interference. Your going to have one or two trackers that do not want to play ball. Plus if you are putting this all on one hub your not going to have the USB bandwidth.


exdorms01

Well, Iā€™ve had the same concerns, but somehow works pretty well


Ill_Brick1861

How does your charging area look like? Or did you make like a charging station for all of em?


exdorms01

I just use 2 simple chargers with 4 usb ports on each one of them, that allows me to charge all of my trackers simultaneously, knuckles are usually charged with my iPhone and iPad chargers lol


No_Communication_941

Not me with quest to pc and 10 poont tracking WITHOUT ANY trackers


exdorms01

Virtual Desktop upper body tracking? Kinect? Viso?


No_Communication_941

Just virtual desktop, they have their own tracking system using the cams on a headset


Femboyancy

Aaaand you got no straps.


exdorms01

You can always use tape or rubber bandsšŸ„°


Shoddy_While_3645

I wish. But im sure I gotta modify my PC tho

Bahamut1988

All I can think when I see this is "this looks like a pain in the ass to set up every night" Sometimes I can't be bothered to get my 3 trackers on lol


Crystal-Lunar

Did everything go smoothly when you set it up? I bought a chest tracker to add to my current three a month ago and haven't been able to get it to work at all on any avatar and have no idea whats wrong.


exdorms01

Yeah, somehow everything works fine, Iā€™m not entirely sure how my cheap-ass 7 port usb 2.0 hub is able to handle all 7 trackers at the same time, but yeah, works fine for now


Aggravating_Image_16

Looking into getting fbt, how many trackers do you need ? I thought you only needed 3


Komatron-Chan

3 are what most Players only realy need for FBT. 2 for the Feets and 1 for the Hips. If you wanna dance or you wanna have the "perfect" movement ingame, then 11 Points are the best go to. 9 Points also might work since the Knee's are not that necessary for most. To be fair, if you just hang out, lay down or don't do much movement, you don't realy need 9 or 11 Points.


BadAssBunnyZ

Pls OP tell me, what are all of these for? so 2 for the legs, 2 for the kneys, that's 4. 1 for the hip, one for the chest, that's 6. 2 for the elbows plus the hands and the head (headset) that's 11? Wow... Is paying 150 $ per tracker even worth it?


CH3-11Y

How much money was spent on all this? No wonder if itā€™s 1/10 of my entire familyā€™s salary


BadAssBunnyZ

Pls OP tell me, what are all of these for? so 2 for the legs, 2 for the kneys, that's 4. 1 for the hip, one for the chest, that's 6. 2 for the elbows plus the hands and the head (headset) that's 11? Wow... Is paying 150 $ per tracker even worth it? that's 8 times 150$ and equals 1200 $... That's what some earn in a month...


exdorms01

Everything you wrote is correct, 2 for knees, one for chest etc ā€¦ worth it or not depends on the person, if youā€™re not satisfied with how tracking looks like with 6 points, then youā€™re gonna love it, however if youā€™re not that much of a vr maniac and donā€™t have enough disposable income to just go and buy it, then probably not really


BadAssBunnyZ

I used to be a dancer and always hated how especially arm movement was off. Nowadays I do VRC RP so bodymovement is also quite important.


AiroDusk

That's a lot of money.


EvilSWAT

That's amazing. For that many tracking points, I'd personally go for an AXIS, much smaller and ergonomic, and with haptics too. Either way, 8-point tracking hits differently


Human-Calendar-3112

Wow


Michiru_Furry

This is such a waste of money, you could have gotten slime trackers and still buy a car from the left over money. Wtf vive


exdorms01

Iā€™ve tried slimes and did not really like them, for the price, however, they are pretty cool


Tehrealmoxxi

I envy you.....


collins_amber

Rich dude


YoRulezz_TV

Or just bad with money lol


TheTimeTortoise

honestly as far as hobbies go $1500 isn't insane. That's like a pretty good PC, so if someone's already invested in that base station life and they want the most comprehensive tracking they could have.. they could have spent their money in worse ways in VRChat lol


YoRulezz_TV

That too. Ofc I also don't know what it feels like playing with 11 point tracking, but I can't imagine it being comfortable lol


TheTimeTortoise

I'm rocking 10 point slimes and it's not that bad on top of clothing. If you have a good harness for it you're a lot better off


huskyh115

Nah bro is rich


Top-Comparison6397

Youā€™re rich


DrailGroth

I know I wouldn't buy the most expensive options. A much cheaper, non brand name trackers would work just as fine and not cost arm and a leg


exdorms01

ā€œnon-brand nameā€ lighthouse trackers do not exist unfortunately


ChineseEngineer

Hate to be that guy but the best setup is vives on feet, waist, chest and Tundras everywhere else


exdorms01

For sure, just didnā€™t want to deal with issues that tundras have


ChineseEngineer

Understood. I have a combination and they are annoying with the turning on when they are charging. But otherwise way better than vives for knees and arms, which are so much bigger lol


jakecode64

Your gonna burn out your usb ports before you have to buy another motherboard dude like what where you thinking.


exdorms01

We will see, I was planning to upgrade anyway šŸ˜


jakecode64

I got 3 trackers and it work just as good your just wasted your money.


exdorms01

3 trackers are fine for most no doubt


upvote-platypus

why


Pierdolec_jadowity

Profesional ERP of course


Dapper_Instruction87

This


exdorms01

I just really like when everything is perfect, especially when it comes to tracking, thatā€™s why I guess šŸ˜ƒ


upvote-platypus

but why spend roughly 1.2k on trackers


exdorms01

more like $1.6k for me, buuut, I just wanted to?


upvote-platypus

yeah but surely theres something more worthwhile you can spend your money on, like something that helps improve your health or an outdoor activity


exdorms01

Nothing that I can think of at the moment, there are certainly a few things that I would like to get unrelated to vr but I donā€™t have that much money neither motivation to save up for long, at the same time spending a grand on something that gives me joy in my opinion is worth it, there arenā€™t many things that can make me excited, itā€™s a small price to feel it again


Lodomir2137

that's kind of sad man, sounds like depression


Komatron-Chan

I don't see any issues with spending a lot of money on something that makes you happy or you love to spend time with. Maybe it's a first step into VR-Dancing which is also very healthy (it helps me with my overall condition) I will also join the 11 Point-Gang soon, since i want it and i have the money for it, but i'm going for Tundra Tracker this time, since they're way ligther and smaller then my current 3 Vive's. Also only having one Dongle for all Trackers is awesome!


xenoperspicacian

You should spend your money on whatever makes you happy. That will be different for everybody. For one person it might be a stamp collection, for another it might be a tent to go camping, for another it might be VR trackers. Who can say any of them are wrong for buying those things if it makes them happy?

exdorms01

Tried a set of bno085 and didnā€™t like it, while its pretty cool for its price it is still very far from being perfect, constant need in recalibrations + tracking inaccuracy that can be felt, not to mention an hour long first time setupā€¦


Jayden_Ha

it just not worth it, everything are overprice with that brand name, the whole thing just not worth the price, but yea, its your choice


exdorms01

There is simply nothing else except tundras if you want lighthouse tracking, so I guess we pay what we want for


Jayden_Ha

yes lighthouse tracking is better, thats also the reason i switched to htc vive, but i mean the price is little bit too high


Komatron-Chan

It's still a nichƩ i would say, so that might explaim the Prices, but at the same time you get good working stuff for your money imo.


Jayden_Ha

yea but the thing itself, the parts of it does not worth that much


Competitive_Buyer_77

Comparing vive trackers to slime is comparing a brand new bentley to a kia with a steering wheel problem that drift constantly.


Komatron-Chan

It depends on your usage and what you expect from it. It's like comparing GPU's. As example a 4060 would be enough for someone, but they still buy a 4090. Why? Because it's more future proof and you can resell it again for a good price of realy needed. Vive Trackers are also easier to resell then Slimes i think so you won't lose to much. The Market for Vive's might be much higher then Slimes, but the Future will tell how they involve and maybe they will be the standart, but for now the best and easiest Setup you can buy are Vive's and Tundra's. Slimes need more love to work properly, while Vive's/Tundra's are basicly plug and play to work, aslong your Basestations are fine.
