Cheap Full Body Tracking for EVERYONE : SlimeVR Review 

Nice work!

Thrill should pin that

That's cool!

Keep up the great work Eiren! Cant wait to get my hands on em too!

GUYS EIREN'S ALMOST AT 1000 SUBS

We've. Been waitin' for. :]

Yeah tru

We all have

How much is it?

Ayyy hello I'm a fan

You said it better than I could have

They'd probably only see it as a threat if it encroached on their own full body solution. I know everyone isn't a fan of Facebook reality labs, but they should be giving us an FBT option similar to what slime offers. Like they can make a wristband that senses finger movements, but not FBT? smh..

With the way that Insight is set up I see no way for Facebook to add FBT to the Quest. At least not without hardware changes (it would need a fully downfiring camera). That said I don't really think Facebook cares about adding FBT. Especially since most vr games are just not including legs period now. It flies in the face of their "price point is everything" strategy.

It's not a threat, whatsoever. It's an amateur project that's not gonna work out. To quote my former comment: The creator is some russian hobbyist person that has no idea of manufacturing. This is not a manufacturing prototype, but a functional prototype. They won't be able to produce it for the price they promise, and it's not all just "oh it's just software problems!". At first it was 100$, then 150$, now it's 180-250$ "max". It'll just keep going up as they realize manufacturing isn't just part cost, but personnel, space, machinery, tooling, publicity and so on cost as well. If you followed the development, the dev is clueless and basically doing this like a hobby project, learning as they go. At first it was "yeah you just need 5 trackers, it works perfectly! I'm gonna mass produce soon!", then suddenly "I've run into problems!", then at some point the external IMUs came into play because well, 5 trackers WASN'T enough. Even still, I doubt you can go much farther than it already is with this army of (expensive!) IMUs. Just for reference, even if you buy 1000 of the bare chip (which the dev here is not doing, they're buying modules), one costs like 7 bucks. Assuming they use the same one (which is very probable), that's.. 8*7=56 bucks JUST for the IMUs. Add 5 ESPs to that for ~3 bucks a piece, and you're already at like 80+ bucks, and that's just for 2 parts. Not including the housing, not including the PCB itself, not including the battery, not including assembly, not including straps and so on. As an electrical engineer, looking at the hardware side of things is also just painful. It's just some modules linked together. That's not how you make this shit.

@@iFireender At least he is trying to make this "shit". Everything that exists was just a hobbiest making "shit".

same but all i have is a quest 2 becase my pc cant even run steam vr

Really? Anything? Well, I got great news for you! All you need to do is shell out $800!

The setup isn’t to horrible if you know what you are doing, I have had lights and things that run off similar methods and its not bad. You don’t really need to know much just be a good problem solver and trouble shooter when it comes to computers

The issue of being an introvert in Vrchat, we all there buddy

Up until now, I hadn't thought of that, now I will have another issue with VR...

Ugh, stop describing me..

@@SparkyFolf vrchat sucks

@@xxxod No one asked

like giving them a static ip adress and remembering it? yes, and things would be easier with a bit of scripting anyway

Even better would be if the trackers came labelled with an ID and the server would automatically figure out which IP address corresponds to each tracker automatically so no messing with DHCP settings is required :)

@@Stemaa1 hey it is open source, could you do that from their end?

@@luxraider5384 You have the right idea. This way a new IP address won’t be assigned to them and you won’t have to go hunting for what it changed to each time it happens. You don’t need to remember though just write it down lol.

@@waderobinson9218 Haha yes if only I knew how, or had the time to learn :P

Lmao, Tundra's only shipping to Early Backers by the end of August, and to everybody in the Kickstarter by end of October. At best you'll be able to buy retail right afterwards, but there's no guarantees it'll release to retail immediately or that you'll then be at the front of the line. So it's either Vive Trackers or waiting. I'm hoping that SlimeVR will release first and be enough, but chances are that I'll end up being forced to buy the Tundra trackers, too.

Lol i still use my NoloVR with my 3rd oculus controller and Ngl for me i just launch nolo home turn them on start steam VR, run the bat for the oculus controller, and hit start on driver4vr and I'm good to go lol

Vive trackers aren’t 9000.

@@augustineforlife it was hyperbole

9k? What drugs are you on? Lol, loser, he even specifically showed the price of a full vive tracker setup which doesn't even break 1k.

@@cenciende9401 Still expensive If you have only a quest for exmaple You are looking at 600-900 bucks to get base station FBT

guys, don't worry, that was probably just what the price scanner said about its price

That would be extremely hard to do and the quest 2 has to do all the calculations for the actual tracking and they would also need to somehow add support to vrchat for trackers from scratch. Sorry to say but that will not happen anytime soon

@@galaxygames3216 Yeah. I wish headset makers make this happen via inbuilt camera tracker

@@TeluguSuperhumans if what your saying is use the cameras built in to the quest 2 that would barley work the cameras are way to high above it hate to say it but stand-alone isn’t getting full body anytime soon may of ya can get a pc and try the cheaper options

@@galaxygames3216 yeah when you lower your hands it does a bunch of guessing let alone tracking all of your body hahah

I could see this MAYBE in the full release at least with side loaded apps.

Yeah, by how i'm bad at animating, this would help a lot

@@ZedDevStuff Even in the industry cleaning up mocap data is just more efficient than doing it all by hand.

I think game devs that want mocap go for the cheaper mocap suits, one is as low as $500, cause making game animations you need a good bit of accuracy.

Yup. I'm certainly looking at this

PLEASE TELL ME HOW 2 OF MY COMMENTS BLOW UP BACK TO BACK

I wonder if Slime will eventually make a suit with preset location assigned trackers and software that sets up easily, It would be good competition against the Rokoko suit.

really? I've read on the website more like september 2022 but even that seems not right. I WANT VR SO BADLY but too broke. It's so sad to know that there could be such wondrous things to be experienced, but all is out of reach for those common working plebs who can't afford

LMAOOOO. 3 years later and they're still not even CLOSE to making it a public item 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@kuroryuu010 Fuck yes and i want multiplayer anton

Mother Russia?!?@

Разработчик из РФ да

Тоже удивился, не просто из России, ещё и из Питера, похоже)

Я тоже уживилсч

2mm aluminium should work fine!

That's the beauty of these. Almost all the updates will be for the software, so it can only get better!

Did you mean that they are heading the right *angle* ?

This is a verb now

And that immediately gives me ideas that I have no technical expertise to put to use.

@@jas9574 You don't need much expertise. Just being able to solder and follow instructions should get you a simple DIY job, based on the open source plans for these.

You will be waiting a while

@@Midnight_horrors885 not necessarily people are working pretty hard on it

Unfortunately, the quest 2 doesn't support it at all. So unless Oculus comes out with something, it's not happening for standalone

@@chrisfratz yeah my only hope is that oculus randomly decides to work with someone like slime vr to make that happen even though this is probably never going to happen

@@LotlLabs and if they did then facebook would own SlimeVR and become an oculus exclusive...

Keep waiting.. theyve almost trippled their price and still havent even made a public release for consumers 3 years later. Not even all the backers got their product. My friend says he was promised a set 8 months ago

No

You can run this off a phone if you have a good phone and do it right

HAHAH! Yep! Pretty exciting stuff!

same

Have to get a pc too

How long will it take to ship

@@Dennisss298 I don’t fucking know

Actually just got them yesterday, there great!

Hey thanks for liking my comment 😀 I’m still watching your vids and I love them I have my own oculus quest 2 and I play it a bit but I’m trying to get a pc that I can actually run the oculus on so I can play steam games to hopefully I get one soon but keep up your videos I love them!

me to bro, Me to

He’s a grown man playing as an anime girl

becuase hes a youtuber that stays anonymous, nothing to do with covid lol

He's been doing it since before COVID. He prefers to remain anonymous. There are quite a few RU-vidrs who do this, like Jim Browning.

I dont think so. theyve almost trippled their price and still havent even made a public release for consumers 3 years later. Not even all the backers got their product. My friend says he was promised a set 8 months ago

@@13luejay18 dawg i just made my own for $80 cuz theyre open source and they work fine. Plus Thrill already made a new video about them lol

Sadly the only update there would be is that they've failed and are close to closing. At least thats what I think. theyve almost trippled their price and still havent even made a public release for consumers 3 years later. Not even all the backers got their product. My friend says he was promised a set 8 months ago

Haha 2 month's later and i made my own trackers. Not only is the tracking amazing but the price is even better.

Yes you can.
