      Currently 2 sensors, waiting for the third one to ship... I have a problem with my right touch controller though, it doesn't detect too well my thumb gesture (sometimes it gets stuck), do you know something about this?

      Terrific detail, thanks. But during setup Oculus won't let me place 2 sensors more than 6 feet apart. I was trying your diagonal setup about 12 feet apart, bur the app won't let me proceed. How do I get past this? Any ideas?

    Alright so I've recently gotten my own Rift system and I checked this out for optimal placement; I want to order a 3rd sensor and get wall mounts, and I figure the best method (for my semi-cluttered room layout) would be to have the sensors in a triangular layout, one in front and two to my rear right and left. I feel like bending down low shouldn't be difficult if I've got three sensors looking down at once, and all three have a good view down low. Until I get the wall mounts and extension cables and all that, my method will be setting one up directly to my right and the other directly to my left, don't have a lot of other options right now anyway.

    Hey, awesome guide and thanks! I just had a question to you or anyone else who might be interested in answering: Do USB extension cords effect the performance at all? If I wanted to do a set up like this one I would need at least one more extension cord and I don't want to cause any new issues. Also, great solve for picking things off the ground. I was running into that issue a lot. One more question to add to this! How much does it matter if the extension cord that I have is a USB 2.0? It came with my third sensor.

  • @cgpatron

    I found this looking around for any updated sensor placement information as I've had my Rift for a while now; haven't been using it because my play area got cluttered and long story short I have an area to mess around in again, but one of my sensors have tilted way down and I thought that would cause issue with the way they track.
    Seeing your 3-sensor setup and the way the heads are turned in what I previously thought would *not* be good, I may just leave that third sensor tilted down and re-calibrate to see how that goes without having to pull out the ladder and reach up to fiddle with it. Thanks for the quick video tip!

    I am glad I got an WMR headset now. I didn't know there is still some lost coverage even in the Rift and you need to put all those in different spots up high or low. I can look anywhere and always track my hands as long as they are pretty much areas I am facing but I never use my arms behind me so much and even when I do it doesn't loose tracking too much. Still can be better if there was a 3rd or 4th camera on the headset but it is not that bad as people think.

    Interesting take on the 3 sensor placement. I never considered having one down low.
    I have my sensors with two in front up high and the third over my right shoulder up high all pointing down.
    I mainly play flight and race sims which don't need room scale but do play other stuff too. I'm currently really enjoying Fallout 4 VR despite its bugs and limitations with the Rift.
    My main problem is with the hardware's reliability. First thing to go was the right earphone started cutting out, apparently its due to the ribbon cable in the strap starting to break.
    I had to remove the headphones and use normal ones to get round that for now but I fear that I might start getting tracking problems eventually as I think the power for the rear IR leds go through the same cable.
    Next to go was the trigger on the right touch controller stuck in, that was due to a tiny rubber pad inside the controller coming loose and getting wedge in the trigger. I hat to completely strip it down to fix it but its OK now.
    Apparently both are common problems and Oculus don't supply spares or offer a repair service for out of warranty Rifts.
    There advise is that if it breaks buy a new one :(

    • @Troph2
      @Troph2 6 років тому

      I have the same problem with reliability, it seems that i need a dedicated usb channel per camera. I have a setup thats super heavy on usb traffic though, total i need a minimum of 11 usb ports on at least 7 channels with both my flight sim and my racing sim + 4 camera setup and rift. Also make sure everything is active usb 3.0, that seems to have helped.

  • @friedrichnietzsche7736

    Thanks for the video. Planning to buy an Oculus Rift soon. What would you say the minimum room size needed is for a comfortable 3 sensor roomscale experience?
    I understand Oculus recommend a size of 8ft x 8ft (2.5m x 2.5m) for the play area alone, but presumably the entire room would need to be bigger than this. But what size exactly should I be looking for? I'm planning on moving to new accommodation when my tenancy expires this summer so it would be very useful to know what size room I should be targeting when I place my advert on Spareroom.

    I bought a pack of three of those wall mount things, then decided to only use part of them. Wall mounting seemed like a hassle. I 3d printed threaded parts which allow me to mount them on butchered IKEA Not uplighters and threw away the parts that's meant to be screwed to the wall. A hacksaw removed the unneeded lamp part, allowing me to mount my sensors at a height of about 1.7m. It means I can adjust them easier. The uplighter has sections of 350mm that screw together - so the height can be varied somewhat also.

  • @GokouZWAR
    @GokouZWAR 5 років тому

    This is the first guy to suggest a sensor low. I seen so many others who say get it high and point down but when I used the sensor app you showed, the first thing I did was lower the sensors to chest level to cover the floor because I saw the huge floor hole in front of the sensor. One high and one low makes sense but I still don’t see how having them opposite will get that coverage. One sensor will always be blinded... to see 3D we need two eyes on something. Do these sensors use distance / echo radar to determine distance from the sensor as well as 3 axis pinpointing? I thought they recommend 2 sensors in front to use triangulation pinpointing. If they know angle and distance they “guess” if they know it from two points that gives you perfect pinpointing by crossing those angles.

    • @caniscerulean
      @caniscerulean 5 років тому

      The idea is that with 3 sensors, you always get at least 2 sensors with a view, for triangulation. AFAIK, they don't have any individual distance calculation. The math for calculating distance from 2 known observation points is less intensive than active scanning single point distance options. With 2 sensors, it works best for front facing so the controllers aren't behind you very often, where they get blocked by your body. Using the 2 with a high front/low back spread gives good coverage for room scale, but more blind spots. For example, having the second sensor low behind and on your left side means that it rarely could see your right hand in the slice to your front right space, and would get more track drift even though you are in plain view of the sensor high and to your front right. With 3 sensors, there are much fewer, if any, places that at least 2 sensors can't see, and when you have 2 points in known positions in 3D space, it is easy to triangulate your 3D position from the 2 opposing 2D views. If all 3 sensors can see a point in space, it can be calculated even more accurately, but is subject to the law of diminishing returns. 3 sensors is generally considered best, 4 sensors can have increase in accuracy, but having to do the increased calculations from more data points can impact your computer processing speed. 3 sensors is considered the most usable average for most users, 4 can have improvements if you have higher standards, but also needs a better computer to run them. I would prefer to use the extra overhead to improve frame-rate and draw distance.
      If we assume an empty, cubic room, and a FOV over 90 degrees on each sensor, then all 8 corners of the cube having a sensor would always have 4 sensors with view of any position the controller could be in (unless you wrap yourself around it in the fetal position, but that is a less than ideal position for playing most games I've seen. 😁)
      Theoretically, you could get perfect tracking from an infinite number of sensors in a perfect sphere around you, but it would take infinite processing power to calculate those data points, and your FPS would still approach zero at the limit.

    If I were to try and use a vr in a gaming/office chair to be able to 360 turn, would the back of the seat block the sensors causing lost of traction or do you think it’d be fine?

    With a room size of
    Width*Height: 2,5*2,5m / 8,2*8,2 Ft
    Ceiling hieght: 2.9m / 8.8Ft
    Should i just place two sensors in the ceiling / opposite corners pointing down at 45deg angle and the 3rd in waist height on the mid wall - making a triangle?

    Im thinking about getting a CV1, and... I probably will make that decision. Ill try the two sensor 360 setup and if that doesnt work ill order a third sensor. Also, about how far apart should my sensors be for 2 sensor 360 tracking, and how far is the tracking distance on them?

    What about, with 2 sensors, fixed to the ceiling? The back of the sensors are "sticked" to the ceiling, and the front lens is looking right down to the floor verticaly. So the sensors defines 2 pyramids, and the distance between each sensors is set in a way your body cannot hide the controllers when you pick up something on the ground in game... I have 2m30 ceiling I think the distance from the ceiling to the ground is ok. Anyone tried or knows about that?

    About the USB controllers, how do I know if a mobo has 3 or fewer controllers? At the moment I'm seriously considering getting a Rift to start experiencing VR, we'll see what Valve or Oculus come up with in the future; and I'm considering building my rig with an Asus Crosshair VII Hero X470 or an Asus ROG STRIX B350-F mobos (Ryzen 7 2700X and a 1080 ti). Any advice?

  • @glenorpheus
    @glenorpheus 6 років тому +15

    ok i have question i hope you can answer ?
    is it possible with the rift to have two play area's as i have a Sim rig i use for racing and flying etc. but i also would like a room scale area for the other titles in VR. i already have two sensors but i have to move them to switch between my two area's of play at the moment. what i was thinking of was buying a third sensor and placing that on the ceiling looking down on my Sim Rig and then leaving the other two positioned for my room scale area, but i'm thinking the rift is gonna freak out when I'm outside my room scale area. ?
    Great Video by the way and already ordered my mounts off Amazon thanks to you're video.

    I still haven't gotten a rift headset but I'm planing on and I'm not on a tight budget and to what I heard from this and the other is go with 2 sensors to begin with and if you have problems get another one. Yes to have 3 is better in the long run but you may not end up playing as much as you think so that 60$ can feel a bit much.

    Thanks for the briefing, I sincerely appreciate it. I am fortunate enough to have a local company that typically mounts TV's, but they also do VR. They quoted me $99.00 to mount three tracking devices hiding the wires behind the wall. It's only for labor. My son has a Rift and one of his friends tripped over a wire. The gaming computer has ample USB ports.
    I was wondering if there was any benefit to overclocking the CPU and RAM? If you could please calm your dog that would be great! Your dog Rules!!! :)

    • @qSPARTANp
      @qSPARTANp 5 років тому

      That's pretty decent. Depends on what style of games you will play. Most games allow free tracked movement mixed with warping or walking using the analogue stick on one controller and flick turning on the other at perhaps 45 degree intervals. I myself have 2mtr square play area. The "Guardian boundary system" will be you saviour.

    It's better to face backwards to your desk due to cable getting hit/tangled by hands.

    It's especially noticeable in Beat Saber.

I wanted to ask if you NEED the third sensor because you CANNOT get third sensor for some reason noone is selling it and by noone i mean nooone. And 2,5 m is pretty short and i need at least 3 more meters on both sensors should i opt for active or passive usb's
