I use a system of cameras and QR codes printed onto cardboard that I wear on my wrists, waist and ankles to achieve full body tracking in VR using what I had on-hand without buying anything extra for it. All possible because of the free and open source Apriltag software that does all the actual tracking.
On a related note for anyone interested there are a lot of programs out there for using other peripherals such as webcams, Xbox 360 Kinects, PSVR cameras and headsets, and so on for VR on PC.
iVRy Driver and Driver4VR are some pretty popular paid programs on Steam that assist with the setup process.
/r/PSVRHack is neat if you are in that ecosystem.
woah, that sounds ingenious! I'm gonna have to make a note of that for the day that I finally pick up a headset.
So it's like a really simple motion capture because it sees the QR codes and knows where your left arm is sticking?
Could it be that basic and effective?
It's probably not as good as, like, the Pico trackers or other expensive 3rd party units you wear, but it's been perfectly functional for me. It tracks better than the headset itself does my bare hands through its sensor array.
I have nothing else to compare it to, though, because I am cheap and found this before breaking down and just buying something 🤣
Sounds like an ingenious way to avoid shelling out a fat wad of cash. Well done!
