ALL THE LINKS YOU NEED ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION! Edit: it's a bit hard to see the calibration because the UI is blocking it in the video. To calibrate, hold the reference device (in my case that's my left controller) and the tracker in the same hand, and make a large figure 8 motion with your whole arm. This is the setup I personally went with. There are many ways to setup FBT! I hope it can be helpful for some people :3 THANK YOU SO MUCH to Birdler (@bird_burglar on Discord) for letting me punt them into the stratosphere! And to Anthony C (@jhon117x on Discord) for helping me figure out that pause sound effect that was in my head is from Super Mario Bros. so I could put it in the video x3 PLEASE LIKE THE VIDEO SO I CAN SEE MY FAMILY AGAIN!

What can I say, you were charming, informative and kept good pace. Earned a sub from me. Now to save this video to watch later until I can find a buyer for my kidney so I can actually get all this gear Ps. I'mma start calling those 3 lines a burger from now on too lol
This is hands down the best information on pairing vive trackers with the quest 3 I've found. You nailed it down at a perfect pace and got every bit of info I could have asked for. Thank you! I'm looking forward to that constant calibration video, though! I've been having a tough time keeping things calibrated and have 6 trackers total, so I'd love to know how to get that head tracker working correctly.
@@wglkm1800 Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot. _Happy puppy noises._ I'll be sure to get that video out ASAP! Just building a new PC rig right now! OwO
@@Hellokittyy188 Do you mean like an extra tracker on your head for continuous tracking? I'll be making that tutorial soon! _Subscribe and hit the bell icon!_
Thanks for the tutorial but I have two BIG questions 1. I’m planing on using it for blade and sorcery, do you know if it’ll work with blade and sorcery? 2. Is it possible to only have two trackers and it still work for legs
Hi!! I will do my best to help but just know I am NOT an expert on this at all! Haha. I've also never played Blade and Sorcery. This video was basically me passing along what I learned while trying to get my own setup worked out. You would probably be better off asking this stuff in an FBT Discord. That said, I'll try to answer! The third party software for allowing the Vive trackers to work with the Quest seems to be achieving that within SteamVR. So, I believe any app that runs off of SteamVR will work with this setup! I've never heard of anyone using only leg trackers without the hip tracker, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't! tracking the hip is very helpful because it's basically the transform of your whole torso. If you're trying to save money I'd go with Slimes instead of skipping a Vive tracker. The reason I didn't go with Slimes is because they are less precise, drift, and have had shipping issues in the past. Though there are other sellers of Slimes (since it's open source) which may not have shipping issues. And I've heard there are ways to mitigate drift. Best of luck and I hope you find the answers you need! This is still pretty new technology and technically the trackers were never designed to work with the Quest so it's all a bit tricky. But with a bit of work I bet you could get a solution.
@@Valtritium I don't usually have to recalibrate unless I take off my headset! So, however long it takes you to need to refill your water or go to the bathroom lol. And recalibrating is pretty easy like I showed. Just turn off all trackers but one. Calibrate that one tracker in OpenVR Space Calibrator. Turn on the rest. And calibrate in VRChat.
Kinda surprised it isn't mentioned in the video, but there is a fork of Space Calibrator that has a "continuous calibration" option. It would rquire a spare tracker that is attached to the headset (tape, elastic, velcro, etc.), and doe's what it says on the tin. Trackers can tend to drift due to a variety of reasons, but CC will always set them back if it happens. Only real cons to this method is obviously the need of an extra tracker and the program likely has extra CPU overhead, so you need to make sure you have the cpu power to spare when using it. EDIT Think i missed the part in the beginning that mentions CC. My bad!
@@dragoncade You're good haha. Yeah, I've been messing around with bd_'s fork for a bit and gathering info to make that next video for a bit now. It works great ^_^

> i dont need to buy expensive stuff > But it looks very cursed This is why people buy expensive stuff! Haha. You can absolutely use cameras for tracking - that's actually what I used to do! I used to have my phone's camera approximate FBT for me. But it has so many problems and it's so inaccurate.

Are you using Vive 3.0 trackers and Index 2.0 lighthouses? I've never had any issues with precision with these myself. I have heard of graphics drivers not being up-to-date causing issues sometimes. If you have Nvidia, just open up their app (in your taskbar, probably in the ^ hidden icons section) and make sure your driver is up-to-date. Also, Steam Link is generally regarded as _horrible_ compared to Virtual Desktop, so I don't know if that could be part of the problem or not. Usually people complain about compression in the display with Steam Link though, not tracker precision, but idk. Good luck!
@@Rue2love Air Link has a reputation for being really bad. I know it costs money, but that's why I recommended Virtual Desktop in the video. I dunno if that will fix it for your for sure, but that's what I'd try next. Best of luck!
@@ShantiSyndrome I actually have had 4 Vive trackers paired (for continuous tracking which I'm setting up now) in addition to my Quest controllers and my inside-out virtual elbow trackers (which also show up on SteamVR), so I believe you can add more than 3 trackers. I'm sorry that I can't be of much more help. All I know is that this setup worked for me, and this is all I did to get it working.
@@TuRnMEhON2nitE You can technically change the configuration of inside-out tracking manually by editing the file in notepad if you're worried about DenTechs' Tracking Configurator. You can also skip the inside-out tracking entirely - you'll just have elbows that are sometimes a bit weird. I'll be making that continuous tracking video pretty soon here! Thanks!
Technically you could just use Air Link (free) for PCVR! And the rest of the software is also free. I recommend Virtual Desktop because Air Link is kinda *_dog water_* and you're spending like $760 anyway on hardware.
@@Rue2love You already have the trackers and lighthouses? *_Let's gooo!_* Well yem, up to you what PCVR software to use. Lots of options! Good luck!! :3
@@Rue2love Oh no! Maybe there's a Discord that you could ask for help in. If you tell me what's happening, I might be able to offer some suggestions, but I'm pretty new to this myself.

If you just do it through steam Vr you can get a lot better tracking

Hi I noticed on Virus total, it sees it as a virus, is it safe?
I wouldn't recommend it if it was a virus. Since it's a fork of FOSS, it's probably just not popular enough for it to be flagged as safe.
Thank you for replying. The DanTechs file said it had a Trojan which I don’t know what that means I just preferred not taking the risk.
I also am looking forward how to use the 4th tracker mounted to the quest video!
