A free alterative to FBT using a free app called Visio. It can be used on most smart phones (Android and iPhone) #vrchat #furries #fullbodytracking #turorial
One thing that I will note here that you forgot to mention, probably applies to both standalones and pcvrs, you need to turn on OSC in your vrc hand menu to connect to Viso.
You definitely want it to be able to capture your full body at where you'll be standing. you can verify by looking at the tracking skeleton on your screen.
The App is using your phones camera for the tracking. So you need to position the phone in such a way that it sees your full body. If the tracking fails or is extremely laggy / buggy check your lighting in the room. Dark rooms or weirdly coloured objects could influence the quality.
So it needs to send the body tracking data to your computer through the Wi-Fi. In order to communicate with your computer it needs to know it’s address. If you own a printer in your home, it’s doing the same thing. It’s totally safe, your IPv4 is for your local address, not your public IP.
You want to give it your local IP address, not your public. Your local IP address doesn't reveal anything. But, ANY app that uses the Internet can see your IP and even if you're using a VPN there're a million other ways for companies to fingerprint you.
