htc vive tracker object

[david.sanda]

Hi, we already have base stations and controllers as objects in the demo project. Please also add tracker https://www.vive.com/eu/vive-tracker/ to the assets and code in the demo project. It is somewhat complicated to add it with correct pivot, which is why i am asking for it. Extending the code to  find tracker is easy and works well.

Hi David,

What is the issue with vive tracker positioning? Could you share the modifications code that you did to the plugin which is not working in your case?

Thanks!

It is working without any problem in the code, the issue is in the mesh. I added the tracker object from https://poly.google.com/view/3g9sc265XVC, but it is off by few centimeters. It is not a huge issue, but could be useful to more people if you would add the tracker object to the demo project.

In any case, you do not need to worry, i found where the point should go looking at proper documentation. Just take it as a suggestion to add support of that object to the demo.

David,

Basically, you can't import a mesh from the 3rd party website and expect it will align correctly. Please, check the pivot of the already imported objects like controllers and base stations. More likely you will need to adjust mesh pivot accordingly in some DCC tool like 3ds Max / Maya / Blender / etc.

We have plans to Vive Tracker mesh later (when we will have one ViveTracker on hands).

Thanks!
