I recommend putting them as high up as possible and then tilting them down. Perhaps try getting some wall mounts. This can let you track most of the room including the floor. I got a greenscreen a few years back, and I used the things that held that in place almost as tripods for the sensors. Although you could just use a tripod. I also have a third sensor in one of the corners just to make sure I don't have many blind spots.
+TheCaptainBaker - TCS Yeah wall mounts or mounting the sensors to the ceiling upside down would definitely provide the perfect coverage, and I may end up doing that some day. For now my tracking is very good, especially with all the software updates Oculus has released.
If you’re using 3 sensors, don’t just place them all up high. Test with various heights and try two mounted high and one mounted lower, that way you can bend over without losing tracking.
Use selfie sticks there cheap and easily extendable for height and if u buy the monopod one it has a hole at the bottoms which attaches easily to the sensor base
Are there any screweless options? I have a pretty small play space so having 2 of them high would help. But unfortunately the wallpaper I have is not available anywhere on aerth anymore so I don't want to destroy it
Tenho Andersson amazon sells mounts that come with 3m tape. Supposedly the adhesive they use is safe to put on walls.
Old video sure but for anyone who just bought an Oculus Rift (like me) I wouldn't put your room boundaries "guardian system" close to walls or over desks and other furniture. Give yourself plenty of room to punch or reach through it and just remember you can't see so reaching down for something or to reach up you can smash your hand/controller on a table or desk. Give yourself some extra space to pass through the grid that comes up. I personally turned mine off because I bought floor mats and kept the grid to that size so i knew when i stepped off I was "going out of bounds". Just my personal two cents.
Salvation73 Its stupid so close to walls
Pretty cool. I've implemented most of the things you suggested.
Awesome! Hope it works well for you
Good work. Very informative video!
+ZoidMonkey Thank you!
I'm cursing my Rift at the moment. Despite a new computer, all of the recommended configurations for cables/extenders, sensor placement (x4 sensors), my rift's audio cuts out constantly, the apps crash constantly, the sensors lose tracking. I spend all of my time troubleshooting and never actually using the Rift. *sigh* Lucky you for getting everything up and running smoothly..
Sounds like you may be pushing your PC too hard with too many USB 3.0 inputs. Have you tried a PCI-e card with extra USB ports to reduce the bandwidth going through your motherboard (I've linked a couple in the description)? Also make sure 2 of the 4 sensors and are on USB 2.0, try putting the Rift's USB cable into a USB 2.0 slot as well. I recommend asking Oculus support directly or reddit.com/r/oculus for any troubleshooting advice.
CooleoBrad These all sound like really great tips worth trying! I ordered a inatech pci-e card from amazon and am just waiting on it. I’ll try the USB 2.0 ports as well as you said (although it’s advice I find odd considering how everyone speaks of the bandwidth demands of the sensors). Thanks for the reply!
Oculus themselves says its best for your 3rd and 4th sensors to be on USB 2.0, but it definitely does sound counter-intuitive at first - www.oculus.com/blog/oculus-roomscale-balancing-bandwidth-on-usb/
Update: Fixed my problem; I sent my AM4 system back and bought a 8700k system. No more problems. One minor glitch I did experience was choppy audio, so I i switched out my 3.0 active USB extender for a 2.0 active extender and now everything runs smoothly and sounds smoothly! I don't blame AM4 about before, I blame the particular limiting asus strix board I happened to have been using.
Do usb extenders without a built in repeater work well? I'm afraid to get cheaper extenders without a repeater and have crappy tracking, even though its usb 3.0.
I think it depends on the length of the cable. If you try cables out and they don't work you could always try to return them as well.
@@cooleobrad Ahhh. That does make a lot of sense. Thanks!
i can get 15ft with 3 sensors
I have tried all kinds of high end 4k 3D ready hdmi cables but it will not render the video.
Have you tried an HDMI Female to DVI Male adapter or a Displayport to hdmi adapter? (Linked in the description)
cooleobrad yeah tried that route. Did male to male, female to male, dvi port. Repeater is my last option. My card is 980 ti. I get the notion the nvidia 900 and 1k's are finicky when it comes to vid output
Damn, sorry to hear that. My best advice would be to post in reddit.com/r/oculus or try looking on Google because I'm sure others have experienced this as well. Best of luck getting it working!
I am thinking about doing this kind of setup, do you get good tracking in the 2 corners facing away from both sensors?
It's very good, but for me it was worth it to get a third sensor. If you mount your sensors on your ceiling and angle the camera down that way, I hear you get much better coverage than placing them the right way up.
cooleobrad yeah right now I have them mounted on the ceiling but it's setup for 180 degrees. Hopefully it works better
It is definitely an improvement over the 180 setup
what is a sensor for VR?
So the Oculus Rift comes with an infrared-camera which tracks the headset's position in space, then sends that info to the computer and adjusts what the player is seeing based on that. So for example when I lean forward with the headset on, the sensor sees the (invisible to the naked eye) infrared LEDs(lights) on my headset change position and as they change so does my view inside the game. I think PSVR uses the same system, and Vive's is a bit different, however they all accomplish the same goal -- tracking the player's head and hand controllers.
Hope this helps, but if you are still confused reply back and I'll try to provide a better explanation!
ok, now i understand thank you very much :)
Thanks a lot for your tutorial vidéo, but i think Facebook need to wake up and help us. I have 3 sensors with issues (glittering, vr floor up to my brest and i need to recalibrate all...
Well there is a new update 1.12 rolling out starting to day that is said to fix a lot of sensor issues especially for 3 sensors.
Thanks, i ll try this new update soon as possible. I hope this 1.12 resolve my issues...
Couple things I forgot to mention:
1.) You can use USB 2.0 cable extenders, however you will not get as high quality tracking experience so I think it is worth it to just go for a USB 3.0.
2.) The Rift's cables itself gives you a pretty decent amount of room to walk with and a 10ft hdmi extender & 10ft USB 3.0 extender is probably overkill for most people. I have provided extra links in the description for smaller compatible cable extenders.
Other than that, enjoy! And subscribe for more VR content []-)
3.) If you are using 3 sensors Oculus recommends using a USB 2.0 port for the third sensor so your motherboard is not overloaded. Apparently 3 active sensors on 3 USB 3.0 ports can actually cause tracking tracking issues. I'll try to do some of my own testing when my third sensor comes in and let you know if it makes a big difference or not!
Looking forward to knowing this about the 3rd sensor as I too have not only the Touch controllers on the way but the 3rd sensor soon after.
CooleoBrad not treu;)
All easy and cheap wil work. 2.0 is good enough and Will be smooth.
I got a 1070 strix and use all 2.0 extenders voor max 2m and works perfect.
Hey m8 i was trying out my oculustift with a display port converter and it works just fine. just to let you know bye!
Now, 6 years later, the Meta Quest 3 launched and setting up roomscale is just a matter of looking around while the device scans your room. Takes just a matter of seconds. No additional sensors or cables anymore. We came a long way since the Rift.
People are quick to forget the rapid progress that has been made in VR/AR/XR. It was only 10 years ago that the Oculus DK1 launched and reignited people's interest in the space. Just 10 years ago the state of the art headset was a non-HD, 60Hz, 3-DOF tracking, no tracked controllers, no hand tracking, tethered to a PC, terrible ergonomics, no passthrough, no guardian system, no ASW, no AST, no eye-tracking, no IPD adjustment, no prescription lens support, no pancake lenses device from a random startup on Kickstarter. Can't wait to see where things are in another 6+ years!
could you make your oculus home imitate your room? I mean make it the same size as your real room and if you have obstacles like a table in one corner you could place a table in same place in oculus home, that way your obstacles in your real room become an asset in your oculus home.
Yeah definitely I know there are some videos about this topic online and I’ve seen people recreate their rooms in VR Minecraft as well.
Got my oculus rift couple days ago. Now I have to wait before I get my next salary to buy displayport to hdmi adapter because my graphics card only has one hdmi port. Until then I have to switch hdmi port between my projector and rift.
Often times when I use rift some apps won't shut and I have to switch back to my projector to restart oculus client.
I'd like to know if there is a way to assign a mouse key button to do oculus client restart (my mouse is Logitech Performance Mouse MX)? That way I could do a restart without leaving OR.?
@@sakkel.7357 a macro editor and a button free that you can macro to a run command pointing at the specific file id assume.
i learned about mirrors the hard way, ran into a wall playing rec room
Oof, that'll do it!
I have a nice mirror in the middle of my playspace. Still not smashed it yet. But could be any day now.
Anthony Davis lol.. respect your gardian hahahah
A big problem with only using two sensors for 360 tracking is that you tend to get massive amounts of jitter, as you can see in this video if you watch his in-game hands. I mean, that's really really bad jitter. That would drive me nuts. Three sensors fixes it completely. Tracking is rock solid and stable. If you're doing 360 roomscale, you already spent $400. Spend another $60 and do it right IMO.
I guess it's a moot point now that you can't buy the Rift CV1 anymore, but for anyone still using it... (I am! Index almost convinced me to upgrade, but not quite)
I had hdmi extender issues. Got this active cable www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008D5ETHE/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a female coupler.
Never thought about extenders until I plugged in the rift thanks man!
Glad this video could help!
My 3rd sensor is in! Watch me set it up and test it here: ua-cam.com/video/aHabYNAXJJs/v-deo.html !
a point about DVI adapters - some are only rated for 1920x1200 at 60hz which provides too little bandwidth for the Rift's requirements.
so generally a 4k-ready dvi-d adapter would be expected to work better
also some dvi male adapters are only single-channel which won't have enough bandwidth - or they are split digital and analogue so half of a dual channel would go to either analogue or digital. So it seems getting a DVI digital-only adapter would be another best bet for getting the rift running through dvi.
in saying that- some people have claimed the regular dvi adapters work fine and some 4k ones haven't worked for some people so it seems like a tossup whichever way you go.
with extenders it seems to depend a lot on the individual graphics card and how much power the manufactuter decided to route to each of the display ports.
in any case my regular hdmi port on my gtx970 is busted, and I need the displayport for a 1440p g-sync monitor. So I'm going to have to get it working on the DVI ports.
I've ordered a handful of adapters, and will be testing all of them.
Great information thank you so much for posting!!!
Tip: use active extenders so the signal repeats instead of extending of copper wires because the rift and sensors are really high bandwidth devices
Seems like a nightmare but it isn't..the free stuff and other content available for rift/touch now is amazing..can't wait for my vive mates to get some of the games also 😀
Would you recommend Vive or Rift now in 2018/19
LilCarloss i ordered the Rift, and I recommend it 👍👍👍👍
Place the pc high. And let the cables come from above.
Hello (i know iam in 2019 but) can any usb 3.0 extension cable work???
hamad1027 make sure it’s active extender
Something else you forgot to show how to set up your sensors. U showed nothing that has to do with how to setup sensors or how to move and adjust them to show how to setup controllers to sensors u showed nothing IV been trying for 5 hours and still can't pickup controllers with my sensors
Not entirely sure what you're asking here, but the charts at 8:06 might be useful to you. Might be worth contacting Oculus support instead if your controllers don't seem to be working.
Great job Cool! thank you. I don't have occulus but I sent a friend to watch you're setup and she was able to managed her virtual environment based upon your experience. So keep it up!. And your voice ROCKS! You can be a great pod cast guy. cause you explain things without getting your goals get away from you.5 stars for you! :)
Thank you so much! Appreciate the compliments :)
You hold the trigger and walk around the Side , make sure the sensor sees the controler.
The 3 sensor thing is a big money deal. 2 is enough.
I think something important that you forgot to mention is if you're using an HDMI extender, it's good to have an HDMI repeater, so you don't lose signal.
Maybe if the length is excessive, but I haven't had any issues with mine and haven't seen anyone complain about that issue yet on this video.
CooleoBrad 👌
Holy crap, what a cabling nightmare...
A Lighthouse system would certainly be more convenient. I should note though, that the Rift's cables itself gives you a pretty decent amount of room to walk with and a 10ft hdmi extender & 10ft USB 3.0 extender is probably overkill for most people. The amount of quality free content Oculus releases/funds paired with great built in audio and amazing hand controllers makes it worth it for me though.
Thanks for sharing..
I wish they still had the option to continue through the error on the sensor setup thing. No bullshit, I had to spend over half an hour the other day just trying to find the exact spot in my room where it would recognize the controller enough to continue. Considering the tracking worked great afterwards, I'm not sure what the deal with the setup thing was.
It’s possible it was some bug they haven’t fixed yet. VR tech is still in its infancy. Setting up tracking and the tracking systems themselves will get way better over time. Glad it’s working great now though!
the USB extender with power youre using probably has a signal repeater built in.
while you might not notice it, it adds extra latency and probably makes tracking glitchy and less precise.
might still be good enough, but definitely not ideal
+stan kidofu That's good information to know thank you for telling me! I really hope Oculus goes with lighthouse sensors or something similar for Gen 2 to avoid all these dumb hoops to jump through.
If your having hdmi issues just get an hdmi booster
YOUR THUMBNAIL IS AN OLD MEME
BOTTOM TEXT
im pretty sure that dvi-d doesn't pass through audio, I may be wrong.
Rift audio is handled through USB so this shouldn't be a problem. Also, audio can be transmitted with DVI-to-hdmi so long as you have a graphics card that supports this.
But is you put one sensor on the door and the other one on the opposite side, where you have the USB power supply you can use less cables or at least shorter cables
WolfoxBenny Yeah, ideally you'd have your computer in the center of a wall, place 2 of the sensors in the "180 setup" on both corners of the wall with no extenders. And then have a third camera behind you using a cable extender. My third sensor is on the way so I'll probably test out a few configurations and possibly make a video on it. Thanks for the comment!
What does oculus guardian do? I think it warns you when you bump into walls
Basically. It shows a blue grid within VR once you start approaching walls or objects you have mapped out when you set up the Rift. Helps to prevent running into and punching walls.
Do you have to use extenders for the sensors? The cables for them are 15 feet (I think) and they are long enough to reach the corners of my play space
No definitely not. They are only required if you need the extra wire.
Ok cool :) I was tempted to buy it lol
Hey, when i play vr, the floor/ground in game seems to be lower than the actual floor in real life, is that a sensor issue or just the game?
It could be either. To test if it is just a specific game causing an issue, I'd just try out multiple games and see how they play. You can always go through the sensor/guardian setup again if it is a sensor issue.
@@cooleobrad I just found it out, I set my hight to be 5.7 when I'm 5.6 and i set it to 5.6 and now it's working fine.
everytime i try to set this up it tell me they can be no further then 6 feet apart
Sounds like you'll have to move the sensors closer together
Is the roomscale for rift comparable to the vive?
Just as good as Vive roomscale, but depending on your room's size you may need 3 or 4 total sensors. 2 sensors works for most people's setups however.
cool,cooler Brad,get it?
Hey I just wanted to ask if I do just a two sensor set up will it we fine or would I provoke want to get a third sensor
2 sensors is fine for most people. No harm in trying that first and then upgrading to 3 sensors later if you feel you need it.
@@cooleobrad I recently got a Rift, installed one sensor to the ceiling above my play zone. Other is in front of me (as I play facing one direction most of the time) with the two situated as they are I have 360 tracking with two sensors.
lol minecraft vr
👍
Yeah... The problem with your recommendation of cables for this setup on my end is that I have a lack of USB 3 and HDMI ports... I have 1 USB 3 port, and 1 HDMI port. Bad news for someone who just received their Rift and wants to play with it right away. So, I went to Amazon and ordered a 4-Port USB 3 hub and an HDMI splitter which gives me two HDMI ports now.
I hope your USB 3.0 hub connects directly through your motherboard and not your single USB 3.0 port because otherwise you are just going to be splitting the bandwidth between all 4 which is going to cause a lot of latency and unwanted issues. Same thing for the HDMI splitter, but I'm not sure what made you think you need 2 HDMI ports in this video. I only have one on my graphics card. There is a link to some USB 3.0 cards that connect via PCI in the description.
cooleobrad because I can only connect my rift and not my Monitor at the same time. Unless you don't need to?
There are adapters to convert hdmi to DVI or Displayport which I mention in this video and link in the description which you could use to run both your monitor and Rift, but no you don't need to connect a traditional monitor to run the Rift as long as you have Oculus Home installed as far as I'm aware.
Don't you need to complete the setup for Rift before you can enter Home? I may sound like an idiot, which I feel I am lmao.
Yeah, my oculus just shows a black screen when I put it on and I can only see the mouse cursor.
What is that game called? Thanks:)
Tobias Slethei The first game shown is an Oculus Touch demo called ‘First Contact’. At the end of the video that is just the old version of Oculus Home.
Do you know what the minimum space is ?
Valve says the minimum space required for roomscale is 2m x 1.5m
Thank You
bro you got enough cables?
never
why do we need all these cables? don't they come with the sensors?
The sensors included in the Rift and Touch box are standard Oculus sensors with a 6 ft cable. The headset itself comes with no extenders (but those cords are ~13ft), and the sensors come with no extenders. Only if you order a third sensor do they send you a USB 2.0 16ft extension. (They recommend one sensor on USB 2.0 and the other 2 on USB 3.0, when connecting 3 sensors).
cooleobrad hmm I see thanks
ca veux dire que le pc doit gerer 3 flux video en full HD provenant de 3 cameras !! bon courrage au processeur!
Je suis actuellement en utilisant un i5-6600K au moment où fonctionne impressionnant avec 3 caméras (j'ai une vidéo de configuration de 3 caméras Oculus sur ma chaîne), mais je suis en train d'envisager la mise à niveau d'un i7 à un moment donné pour l'enregistrement de réalité virtuelle et de streaming . Aussi, j'ai utilisé Google Translate pour traduire ce désolé si c'est terrible! Lol
thanks to answer.
I m not decided between an Oculus with touch or HTC vive .... they are same price. I see a video of scaleroom with oculus with only 2 sensors is it possible?
This video uses only 2 sensors lol. Setting up roomscale is going to be a bit more involved (as seen in the video with the cable extenders and such)for the Oculus Rift, but I prefer Oculus's hand controllers and exclusive & free games compared to the Vive. They are both excellent products though, you can not go wrong with either one.
Best video tutorial ever!!!
What a great compliment! Thank you so much!
Wow, I'm glad I bought the vive after this. Now I just need some cool controllers like yours to go with my wands, think I'd like both
Valve does have some new prototype controllers similar to/possibly more advanced than Touch that look really cool. You can just google "valve vr controller prototype" to find more info on them. And like I mentioned to the commenter above, it is a pain to initially set up this roomscale system and I really wish Rift had used a lighthouse based system, but for me it was worth it. Oculus Touch is really immersive for hand presence, and also there is a crazy amount of great free games Oculus gives to people for just buying Rift + Touch. Thanks for the comment!
This... is not room scale. It's 360-degree standing VR.
+baribari600 How is it not roomscale when I was able to walk around, crouch, etc in an 8x12ft room?
How big is your actual play area?
Sorry 8x12 playspace, I say this in the video. The room is a bit bigger than that. You can get a better feel for the size maybe in my 3 sensor setup video.
Sorry. It just looked much smaller than that.
baribari600 i can get 15ft with 3 sensors
QUESTION :: how i start this test room at 4:00 ??? i saw it when i setup my oculus first time but than never again , how i can start this test room ??
It's the 'First Touch' demo. You might have to download it from the Oculus store, but it is totally free.
Do you need the hdmi extension cord if you have a 15 ft hdmi cable
I'm a bit confused by your question. The Rift comes with a ~13ft HDMI cable which cannot be removed from the headset(easily anyway), in order to make it any longer you would need to plug that cable into an HDMI extension. Whether you need an extension or not would be dependent on how much play space you have. You should be able to test if you need longer cables or not by moving your headset around your play area and by seeing if the headset cable is becoming taut or tangled.
cooleobrad oh ok In getting one soon and I didn't know it came with one
