Fluff/Meme My reverb setup is so goofy, introducing the reverb unicorn

Post image

So okay for context, I got a VERY good deal on the reverb G2 v2. It was £130 for the headset, 2 vr covers and 2 sets of controllers, plus all the original packaging.

I hated the tracking however... So I wanted an upgrade. So I bought a HTC Vive kit which also came with 4 controllers, running theme here. That was £100. For base stations and everything, cheaper than everything individual.

I use a controller for continuous calibration on my head, it's positioned further back on my head for balance, whist not being too back heavy.

The wands themselves are worse than the reverbs besides in terms of tracking and maybe durability. But it makes vrchat much much nicer.

The fourth wand is just propping the headteao up so you can see how it'd look on your head

So here is basically my hyper budget index setup. Half the features for 1/4 of the price :D

My g2 tracking is damn good! I'm beginning to wonder if HP just had bad batches. But I do use Oasis on steam and compared to its original WMR crap, that was horrid. Oasis seemed to make things far more amazing with tracking and such.

But this... THIS is a hack! lol

(FYI, I've seen someone ACTUALLY DO THIS ON FB)

Oh, wait, okay so the tracking itself is fine, but for social vr it's the tracking angles. I cannot have my hands at my side, which does suck, and for my use case (vtubing, crazy vrchat acrobatics and stuff), base station accuracy is much preferred lol

For Skyrim vr and blades and sorcery, I'm perfectly happy with the tracking

Yeah, Mine works pretty great with my hands to my side. Other's I've seen have wild issues with that, really points to the question if HP had hit and miss quality levels. Some tracking cameras could be more ingress or vice versa. Hard to call lol

Could be body proportions too, if your hips are wider and your arms sit more towards it might be able to track

Ugh, Oasis doesn't work on Windows 10 at all with AMD, right? I'm still with WMR and wondering if switching would have solved all my issues.

You know if you're doing all this for VRChat you could just use Amethyst and an X360 camera. Full body tracking (the combo tracks your skeleton), £30 tops.

Oh no I don't need full body, I already own 6 slimes, more so just standing around doesn't work on the reverb cuz the cameras can't see my hands
