Immediately I host a brand new put up by my good friend and VR skilled Rob Cole, who has already printed many fascinating posts on my weblog, together with a evaluate of Pimax Sword controllers, a sequence of hack on find out how to modify the Valve Index, and his experiements in creating new revolutionary controllers for SteamVR.
Because of the assist of HTC, Rob is experimenting with Vive Trackers, and could be very desperate to let you know all the things about his experiments with them, in a sequence of two very detailed posts. This primary a part of the sequence can be all about Vive Trackers, telling you what they’re, what they’re used for, and what has been their historical past. The put up finishes additionally with the little shock of an interview with HTC’s Shen Ye. This primary half is a little more theoretical on the expertise, whereas the second, which can come within the upcoming occasions, can be extra sensible, with a deep hands-on with the experiments.
Have enjoyable studying this primary half!
Introduction
After buying my first HTC Vive digital actuality system in 2016, rumours quickly surfaced of a SteamVR “monitoring puck” that HTC had in growth. Practically a 12 months later, throughout July 2017, I visited Sandbox in East London for the UK launch of the “Star Trek Bridge Crew” sport on SteamVR.
Networked PCs allowed friends to check out the superior new 1-4 participant expertise utilizing a room stuffed with HTC Vive VR headsets and movement controllers. The room was setup on 2 ranges so it felt like being on the bridge, while for solo friends the software program supplied an “AI” crew to fill within the empty stations. While ready for my Bridge Crew session, I wandered downstairs and located Sandbox’s expertise showroom, containing all types of cool tech demos and devices.
Amongst the holograms, 3D printers and good tech, I noticed a pile of boxed Vive Trackers with packaging designed for the Asian market. A printed discover knowledgeable me precisely what they had been, who manufactured them, and that these had been the primary to reach within the UK.
The economic design was very acquainted to anybody who had hung out utilizing the Vive headset and Vive movement controller. If held aspect by aspect with a Vive Controller, it appeared just like the physique of the controller had been chopped off leaving simply the monitoring head, good considering from HTC.
The particular person staffing the showroom didn’t know something concerning the Tracker because it was simply certainly one of many alternative objects on show, however I used to be allowed to choose one up and {photograph} it.
It was comparatively small however felt dense and appeared nicely made with a top quality injection moulded plastic casing. The outer floor of the casing was pockmarked with optical sensor home windows, while a centrally mounted Vive emblem served as the ability button.
Flipping it over, it appeared to have a threaded digital camera mount (generally used for tripods) and a few sprung “pogo pins” for electrical inputs. Lastly, I observed a micro-USB socket on the backside of the Tracker for charging and doubtless additionally for firmware updates.
In addition they had a disassembled Vive headset, Vive controller and Vive base station on show, giving me a uncommon glimpse into the internal workings of this new SteamVR {hardware}. Total a really cool afternoon: attempting the Star Trek sport and attending to see all of the Vive tech… thanks Sandbox!
Since my go to to Sandbox all these years in the past, there have been one other 2 variations of the Vive Tracker launched, aptly named Vive Tracker 2.0 (2018) and far more lately, the smaller Vive Tracker 3.0.
So what’s a Vive Tracker?
Put merely, the Vive Tracker is a wi-fi, battery powered SteamVR tracked accent that gives extremely correct, low latency 6 Levels of Freedom (6DoF) movement monitoring inside a roomscale surroundings.
In HTC’s personal phrases: “Monitor motion and convey objects from the true world into the digital universe.”
The consumer suggestions on this machine has been nice:
“VIVE Trackers carry an enormous stage of versatility to our platform, fully-tracked avatars feeling far more lifelike, digital dancers performing the craziest breakdance strikes in actual time or educators constructing coaching purposes with absolutely tracked props and mockup units.” NeosVR
“The HTC VIVE Tracker is a big a part of our device belt with regards to the event of customized peripherals. We use the expertise to create easy tracked objects, complicated management panels, and built-in real-world instruments. This lets us map bodily buttons with a digital part for max immsersion in our experiences. Bit Area loves the trackers.” Bit Area Growth
“With the VIVE Tracker, firefighters expertise life-like suggestions and really feel the power of the hose, creating an immersive VR coaching that’s as actual because it will get – with out the danger.” FLAIM Coach
“I exploit VIVE Trackers daily to rework right into a bishōjo (stunning lady). By syncing your physique motions, your avatar will really feel as if it is part of your personal physique.” VTuber, Digital Woman Nem
The Vive Tracker is out there instantly from HTC web site in addition to from numerous completely different electronics and gaming distributors. The present Vive Tracker 3.0 has a advocate retail value of £129 within the UK ($129 within the US) which incorporates free delivery. To make use of the tracker, customers would require a SteamVR appropriate PC, a Steam account (freed from cost) and the set up of the SteamVR software program.
What’s SteamVR?
SteamVR is a PC primarily based digital actuality system (PCVR) developed by Valve Software program, which was first launched to the general public throughout 2016 in partnership with revolutionary Taiwanese smartphone producer HTC who launched the “Vive” PCVR system.
SteamVR makes use of a proprietary movement monitoring system often known as “gentle home” or “base station” comprising of three elements: base station, tracked object with sensors, and host X86 primarily based PC.
SteamVR tracked objects can embrace the VR headset itself, a pair of hand-held movement controllers or monitoring pucks just like the Vive Tracker. Every object comprises particular optical sensors which detect laser gentle from the bottom stations, an IMU and a small pc with 2.4Ghz wi-fi module that connects to the host PC.
“The SteamVR Monitoring Basestations sweep the room with a number of sync pulses and laser strains, reaching out to about 5 meters. By maintaining cautious monitor of the timings between pulses and sweeps, the SteamVR Monitoring system makes use of easy trigonometry to seek out the placement of every sensor to inside a fraction of a millimeter.
By combining a number of sensors, 2 basestations, in addition to including a excessive pace IMU (inertial measurement unit), SteamVR additionally calculates the tracked object’s orientation, velocity, and angular velocity, all at an replace charge of 1000Hz.” Valve Software program
What’s Vive?
Vive was a PCVR system from HTC utilizing Valve’s “SteamVR 1.0” expertise. It was often known as “Revive” throughout growth, then as “Vive Pre” for the developer version, earlier than launching an virtually equivalent shopper model referred to as “Vive” in April 2016.
Offered as a full PCVR package for £799, Vive required the usage of a strong gaming PC with the newest graphics card, rapidly discovering a hardcore following amongst early adopters and tech fanatics.
Vive was spectacular, it solely took a 20 minute demo with a Vive Pre earlier than I used to be utterly bought. I got here again the following day and spent a substantial quantity on a Vive and new graphics card for my PC. Throughout the next months, quite a few individuals obtained to demo my Vive, with lots of them shocked at how efficient the expertise now was.
Vive took the early market by storm, launching out the field with full roomscale assist and tracked movement controllers, while Oculus might solely launch their Rift CV1 with seated assist and an Xbox sport controller. Oculus didn’t truly add roomscale and tracked controller assist till months later, with the discharge of their Contact controllers, and extra USB-connected monitoring cameras.
Within the years since, Oculus have gained substantial shopper market share by promoting what’s reported as loss-leading {hardware}, underpinned by substantial quantities of money from Meta in an aggressive long-term try to personal the following computing platform. The Meta Quest standalone headset has been an enormous success, bringing 6DoF VR to the bigger shopper market who usually don’t have gaming PC’s.
In June 2019, Valve entered the {hardware} market themselves with their Index PCVR system, bought direct to customers by means of Steam. Regardless of being $1000 for the complete package, it’s possible that Valve don’t make any revenue from Index because it doesn’t must; its all about getting individuals to purchase video games on Steam no matter which {hardware} they use. The privately owned firm is flush with money from their 30% lower of all gross sales going by means of Steam, which implies that R&D or RMA prices may be absorbed with out feeding again into increased shopper pricing for {hardware}.
With Oculus making their lengthy play and Valve instantly getting into the market, HTC quickly realigned their sights on the extra profitable Enterprise market the place its doable to really make a revenue from {hardware}. Shoppers have signed up for HTC’s subscription primarily based software program entry, while extra lately HTC made an early transfer to start out laying foundations for the Metaverse.
HTC remains to be providing headsets to customers, although aimed on the Prosumer market, the place it’s additionally doable to make some revenue from {hardware} with out going bankrupt within the course of! Regardless of their partial withdrawal from the broader shopper market, HTC has finished nice enterprise within the location-based leisure market with focused enterprise assist packages.
It wasn’t unusual for me to attend a giant VR occasion and discover 60 Vive Professional Eye headsets getting used throughout the location, or see 12 Focus headsets getting used at a VR competition.
HTC headsets have dominated the vast majority of the occasions, promos and arcades I’ve visited since 2016, with the HTC wi-fi adapter, Vive Tracker and backpack PCVR rigs getting used with Vive or Vive Professional at many websites. So regardless of the commentary that HTC is now not main the patron market, behind the scenes within the enterprise world, they’re doing good work.
“Vive” itself has now turn into HTC’s model identify for all issues VR-related, so it’s getting used for newer PCVR methods like “Vive Professional 2” and “Vive Cosmos”, in addition to standalone methods like “Vive Focus 3” and “Vive Movement”.
It additionally used the identify in its metaverse advertising and marketing as “Viverse”, although within the context of this text Vive is said to the SteamVR appropriate Trackers.
Vive Trackers bodily options
These are the principle elements of each Vive Tracker:
- LED indicator – crimson/blue/inexperienced
- Energy button – on / off
- Sensors – gentle delicate diodes
- (4.1) Commonplace digital camera mount, (4.2) stabilising pin recess, (4.3) pogo pins and (4.4) friction pad
Hidden contained in the Vive Tracker there are particular of electronics elements, widespread to SteamVR tracked objects comparable to:
- 18 x Sensors (Triad Semiconductor diodes)
- small CPU (brains, doing a little maths)
- IMU (1000hz 9DoF monitoring)
- Battery (Li-Ion rechargeable)
- Fuel Gauge (controls battery)
- Wi-fi module (2.4Ghz Nordic Enhanced Shockburst)
- GPIO module (for connections)
- USB port(for battery charging and firmware updates)
In the event you look fastidiously on the outdoors of the Vive tracker, you possibly can clearly see the optical home windows for the sensor diodes. With HTC these have turn into a part of their industrial design language, whereas later SteamVR 2.0 gear such because the Index headset and controllers, and Pimax Sword controller have delicate optical home windows of their casings that aren’t as simply seen.
It ought to be identified that the unique Vive Tracker was practically out of date by the point it launched because the Vive Tracker 2.0 quietly changed it only some months later. The brand new 2.0 (2018) mannequin was designed to assist HTC’s new Vive Professional headset with Valve’s new “Base Station 2.0” second technology gentle home monitoring system.
Tracker 1.0 and Tracker 2.0 had been visually equivalent, other than the colour of the ability on “emblem button”. Internally, Tracker 2.0 had been up to date with the subsequent technology Triad Semiconductor diodes and an electronics updates to assist base station 2.0 compatability.

Clarification of compatibility (from Vive Assist)
Does 3.0 tracker work with 1.0 base station?
Sure, you should utilize Tracker 3.0 with Base Station 1.0/2.0 and Tracker 2.0
Can you employ 1.0 trackers with 2.0 base stations?
No, they aren’t appropriate. SteamVR Base Station 2.0 has a special methodology of syncing. Use solely the identical variations of the bottom stations in your play space in order that your setup will work appropriately.
SteamVR 1.0 > SteamVR 2.0 monitoring?
The primary Vive tracker was constructed round base station 1.0 monitoring to assist the Vive Pre and Vive headsets, however this expertise was quickly outdated by Valve’s new base station 2.0 monitoring with the launch of the Vive Professional headset and a couple of.0 appropriate controllers.
The brand new 2.0 base stations had been constructed to cut back mechanical complexity by eradicating 1 of two motors, while eliminating the necessity for optical or cable sync by utilizing coded laser sweeps and eradicating the omnidirectional blinker. In keeping with Valve, there may be one other benefit of two.0 base stations monitoring that I’d not beforehand heard about:
Extra appropriate: base stations co-exist together with your different IR units and have higher immunity from depth cameras and movement seize methods.
Moreover, base station 2.0 supplied assist for as much as 4 base stations working concurrently in the identical playspace whereas base station 1.0 was restricted to 2 base stations.
Using 3 or 4 base stations permits an enlargement of the playspace to a most of 10 M x 10 M while minimising occlusion from customers our bodies, which could be very vital for glitch free monitoring.
How do I connect it?
Utilizing an ordinary threaded digital camera mount (1/4” screw with 1.27 mm pitch and stabilising pin) on its base, the Tracker may be hooked up to many alternative objects, together with these unrelated to Digital Actuality comparable to robotics and movie cameras for movement seize.
How do I exploit it?
It’s very simple to make use of the Vive Tracker. To begin with, it wants charging utilizing the equipped USB cable. This may be plugged into your PC, or any smartphone mains charger with a USB output. Charging is fast, about 1.5 hours from mains energy, or usually round 3 hours if plugged into the PC. As soon as charged, the consumer solely wants to attach the wi-fi dongle to a USB port on the PC: the dongle sits right into a small cradle linked with an extended USB cable to permit the wi-fi receiver to be remoted from any electrical “noise” coming from the PC.
| 1 | VIVE Tracker |
| 2 | Dongle |
| 3 | Dongle cradle |
| 4 | USB cable |
After beginning SteamVR, customers can “pair” the Tracker utilizing the “units” menu. The on-screen directions make it quite simple. When utilizing a number of trackers, USB connectivity can turn into a problem, relying on the standard of your PC motherboard and its energy supply to its USB methods.
How is it used?
An necessary use for the Vive Tracker is to enable bodily props to be simply introduced into the digital actuality surroundings, with each HTC and a number of other aftermarket producers providing a line of plastic equipment together with a tennis racket and a gun.
Tracker appropriate video games allowed customers to kick a tracked soccer, hit a tennis raquet or shoot a gun. Taking part in video games like Arizona Sunshine with the tracked gun was actually enjoyable, one thing I skilled a number of occasions at an area VR arcade right here within the UK.
Over time although, evidently the excessive entry prices of shopping for a tracker and equipment considerably restricted the whole variety of gross sales into the patron market. This isn’t uncommon when promoting gaming peripherals, that are all the time an costly add-on; they are often large success like Guitar Hero or one thing of a business failure like Microsoft’s Kinect.
The restricted total gross sales result in the consumer base being too small to entice additional builders onboard, and so video games with tracked accent assist stay fairly restricted. The listing beneath reveals what I might simply discover (there could also be extra..)
Vive Tracker appropriate video games
- Island 359
- Tornuffalo
- Arizona Sunshine
- Closing Soccer VR
- VRChat
- Digital Sport
- Boneworks
- Monster Awakens
- Match It
- Beat Saber
- Full Physique RhythmVR
- Mystical Mayhem
- Hubris VR
- Blade and Sorcery
How is it used?
Coaching
Trackers are extensively used for coaching firefighters and cops to permit water hoses and firearms to be safely deployed in real looking eventualities. Just lately, tracked weapons have been used for coaching safety of college personnel about find out how to cope with an energetic shooter inside a retail retailer or on campus.
Location-based Leisure
It was widespread to see early adoption of Vive Trackers and equipment in VR video games arcades and at different location-based leisure venues the place extra specialist interplay was required past the scope of the Vive “Wand” movement controller.
Regardless of the accent enterprise not seeing large gross sales from the patron market and software program assist restricted to a small variety of titles, location primarily based leisure stays an awesome use case for tracked peripherals.
It’s not unusual to see Vive Trackers bolted to all completely different sorts of equipment, some off the shelf, and a few customized made. I’ve chosen to explain to you certainly one of a number of experiences using Vive Trackers that I’ve loved. This one can be well-known to gaming followers with Bandai Namco formally licensing the IP from Nintendo.
Mario Kart VR
We had been fortunate sufficient to have a Bandai Namco gaming centre in London, the place Mariokart VR was the principle draw. Appropriate for 1-4 gamers, with gamers utilizing a Vive headset, a steering wheel and a couple of Vive trackers for monitoring object interactions.
Vive trackers had been mounted on particular hand straps, these had been rapidly placed on and adjusted to get comfortable match, however not too tight because the participant nonetheless must grip the steering wheel.
The Vive trackers carried out an important perform for Mariokart gamers, permitting gamers to seize objects littering the monitor, after which use these objects to assault different gamers – all while following the twists and turns of the monitor, together with an enormous hole that induced gamers to seek out themselves immediately airbourne of their Mariokart!
The steadiness between driving utilizing the wheel and utilizing objects from the monitor made for a really hectic expertise with a way of managed panic typical of Mariokart. The customized {hardware} and Vive Trackers added an enormous sense of immersion it merely wasn’t doable to seek out at dwelling, and each occasions we visited, it was all the time busy.
Although the expertise was comparatively brief, it was an enormous quantity of enjoyable whether or not taking part in or watching different gamers. Loud shouting and shrieking could possibly be heard throughout the location, bringing different individuals to return and watch the spectacle. Among the finest examples of Vive Trackers bringing a extremely particular expertise to the gamers.
Social VR
A newer driver of gross sales progress for Vive Tracker within the shopper market has been the rise of “Full Physique Monitoring” which requires the setup of a number of Vive Trackers to offer the power to trace physique motion in SteamVR with nice accuracy.
When mixed with a pair of movement controllers and the headset, this gives a number of factors of monitoring which is used to drive the skeleton of appropriate physique avatars in fashionable social media purposes like VR Chat.
The expansion of fashionable social utility “VR Chat” has undoubtedly pushed elevated gross sales of Vive Trackers, and introduced new tracker rivals into the market comparable to Tundra Labs and Manus. VR Chat has quite a few, thriving communities and sport worlds, the usage of FBT and customized avatars permitting customers to actually discover alternate identities whether or not as a furry, robotic or one thing else.
Thanks for studying this 1st a part of my journey with Vive Trackers. The 2nd a part of this text, due later this 12 months, will give attention to some sensible experiements with the Vive Trackers, together with:
- Attaching it to purchased objects
- Attaching it to customized objects
- A Absolutely Physique Monitoring setup utilized in VR Chat.
To wrap this 1st article up, I managed to snag an unique interview with HTC’s Head of International Merchandise, Mr. Shen Ye. I needed to know extra concerning the Vive Tracker, its origins and completely different model, in addition to their plans for the longer term, and he was very form in answering me.
HTC Vive Tracker Questions & Solutions with Mr. Shen Ye, International Head of Merchandise, HTC.
The place did the Vive Tracker come from / how did it come about?
We noticed numerous individuals and organisations utilizing the unique VIVE Wands as trackers – they had been attaching them to things which they needed to trace in 3D house. It was a giant cross-section of corporations and use circumstances, from aeronautics by means of to movie manufacturing.
What was the design idea? Was it initially a single tracker, or all the time supposed for use in multiples for full physique monitoring?
As soon as we’d seen how individuals had been utilizing VIVE Wands, we knew we might make a extra compact and easier-to-mount design, in order that’s the place the Tracker challenge began. The preliminary use circumstances weren’t round full-body monitoring, it was extra like attaching it to a digital camera or objects to make use of as props in video games.
What sort of issues had been overcome throughout growth?
Due to the variety in use circumstances, there are a selection of issues to steadiness within the product. Measurement, battery life and monitoring protection had been the first choices. On the time it was difficult to seek out that candy spot – the principle intention is for nice monitoring in order that’s a precedence however there’s no level in having sub-millimetre accuracy if the machine can solely final for 5 minutes and is difficult to connect. We went by means of a number of design iterations.
How do the pogo pins work?
We’ve printed data on this within the developer pointers: https://developer.vive.com/paperwork/850/HTC_Vive_Tracker_3.0_Developer_Guidelines_v1.1_06022021.pdf
What vary of attachments did HTC present? (I recall a tennis bat, as an illustration)
We constructed a tennis racket and desk tennis bat which labored completely with a wide range of tennis and desk tennis apps. We additionally had companions like Rebuff Actuality and Hyperkin who constructed tracker equipment. We needed to verify the Tracker could possibly be simply hooked up to things. I even 3D printed a Darth Maul-style lightsaber for taking part in Beat Saber with Trackers.
How nicely did 1.0 carry out by way of gross sales/uptake?
We by no means publish gross sales figures for particular person merchandise, however given we’re now onto the third technology of the product – you possibly can inform they’re nonetheless extremely popular.
Who was shopping for it? (I.e. customers, companies, location-based providers venues, …)
It was a giant combine. Any business which may gain advantage from sub-millimetre accuracy, so we noticed customers who needed to do physique monitoring or add their very own props to video games, we noticed companies who wanted precision in manufacturing, industries like aeronautics the place they had been doing simulated workout routines, LBEs for positive, movie manufacturing and lots of extra.
What led to growth of model 2.0? (Vive Professional)
The recognition of the primary technology, and we had been additionally growing our VIVE Professional headset which had shipped with BS 2.0. It was good timing as a result of VIVE Professional was going for use by a number of the identical consumer base as Tracker 1.0
How nicely did 2.0 carry out by way of gross sales?
Once more… we by no means publish gross sales figures for particular person merchandise, however given we’re now onto the third technology of the product – you possibly can inform they’re nonetheless extremely popular.
Who was shopping for it? Was there a distinction by way of customers between 1.0 and a couple of.0?
Just about the identical teams however now there have been much more of them.
Did HTC see different corporations making attachments for the Vive trackers?
Tons and plenty and plenty. It was nice to see how individuals tailored to implement VIVE Trackers for all the things from leisure to extremely esoteric industrial makes use of.
How a lot enter/ suggestions did HTC have from location-based leisure/arcade venues?
We all the time work intently with our finish customers – we hearken to suggestions throughout the present product’s lifecycle, and infrequently ship prototypes/dev kits underneath NDA for some companions to check out and suggestions on. Nothing we do is created in isolation in a lab, it’s all primarily based on real-world insights and knowledge.
What led to the event of three.0?
Know-how had progressed sufficient that we felt Tracker 3.0 could possibly be considerably smaller, lighter, and have a greater battery.
What challenges had been overcome as its smaller, lighter, and longer lasting?
We needed to do a number of testing – it was largely the identical challenges as we had initially however with just a few additions, there’s most likely extra full-body monitoring now than within the early days, so we needed to account for that.
HTC has a competitor now with Tundra Labs tracker, does HTC see this as helpful for the SteamVR ecosystem?
We love seeing innovation in XR, and we’ve labored intently with Tundra Labs prior to now.
What’s the way forward for the Vive tracker? Will it all the time require lighthouse base stations?
I’m afraid we will’t touch upon our future roadmap. We did lately unveil our VIVE Wrist Tracker for VIVE Focus 3, which demonstrates that there are nice methods to ship correct monitoring with out base stations.
As a key participant with Vive Professional 2 and Vive tracker 3.0, how does HTC see the event of SteamVR going ahead? Does HTC have working relationship with Valve?
We’ve an awesome relationship with Valve – we launched two new SteamVR merchandise prior to now 12 months. We are able to’t touch upon behalf of Valve however we’re positively excited about our function within the SteamVR ecosystem.
Big due to HTC for offering the Trackers, Mr. Ye for the very fascinating interview, and naturally my good friend SkarredGhost for internet hosting my newest article. [You’re welcome, Rob, thanks to you for writing these long and detailed articles for my blog!]
Half 2 of this text can be launched later this 12 months, extra quickly…
