The best quality full body tracking on a budget! | PlayStation move Service to SteamVR Full Tutorial 

The odds of me using this tutorial are slim but the dedication to this setup was worth at least a like and sub. Good job dude

Seriously, this video has just that of views? I loved the idea, explanation and how it all came out with an affordable value, especially for me, I'm from Brazil, in my country everything is very expensive, the tracker kit (VIVE) would cost around 6 thousand reais and our minimum salary is 1.192 thousand reais, almost it's impossible for us to buy! With what was presented in the video we would spend around 600 reais only. THANK U SO MUCH! ❤️❤️❤️

the absolute quality of this content for a person with only 150 subscribers and 3 three videos. I applaud you

I'm ethernally thankful for this. I bought the hardware a few months ago but struggle to set it up because there wasn't any clear tutorials. I'm finally trying it once again.

This video deserves more views, this is amazing. Can't wait to set this up in my garage and play blade and sorcery 😁

I didn't need this solution, I have classically vive tracked FBT already, that being said, it was still very very intriguing. You sir, have earned a sub! Congratulations! And keep up the good work.

Gained a sub for turning other 40-50 minute tutorials into something enjoyable to watch and easy to set up.

This is awesome, thanks for making this video! I've been looking at getting full body, and this is perfect. Back when I ran an Oculus DK2, I did something similar with move controllers for vr hand controllers (since that was really the only option at the time). But since upgrading to a Vive I put my 2 controllers and 3 eyes in storage, so now I already have almost all of the hardware for this!

Love this man, I've been using full body psmove for long time. Works great but always a hassle to setup. Finally a good tutorial. I'll definitely link people in need to you

I followed the tutorial and it was a complete success! Thank you for making this!

you def deserve way more subs, honestly super helpful, as i was contemplating spending $500 on some vive trackers, when i had 4 ps move controllers and a ps3 eye camera for just dance. thanks so much!

I have a mixed vr system and fully set up vive trackers, but this was so informative to watch. I know that I'll never do it (as I dont have any of the equipment), but this was so interesting to watch! Great video :D

Your video really has a lot of effort maybe too much! It's impressive how you managed to get your info on this! And making use of something really affordable. Once i get the tools i'll happily try this and get into the vr chat. Honestly it's a hell of a video. Good work!!

I met you earlier today and let me just say the quality of your tutorial blew me away! from the looks of it your channel is criminally underrated and i can't wait to see what you do next !

Theres no way that you only have 300+ subs, bro you deserve so much more !! Keep that grind up

i really don’t have any of this stuff and i’m still watching good job

You're making things cheaper and educational. Yes you do deserve and may have this sub. Keep up the great content 👍

Amazing videos out so far, I can't wait for the future for you and your channel! You'll blow up some day!

Just got done with the whole setup and it works really well! Thanks a lot for this great tutorial!

this is actually really intresting and something i will be trying myself. you earned my sub and eternal gratittude

Amazing quality video ! Keep up the great work

I’ve been running Kinect fbt and custom led fbt for a few months now and they work but not well so this is a amazing alternative for fbt and I’ll definitely be coming back soon to set it all up thanks for this video and enjoy a new sub!

I was never really interested in fbt cause all the methods were too expensive for me, but I actually already have 3 moves and 2 cameras, so after picking up another eye camera or two I'll probably be trying this out. I appreciate the video man.

dude same as the guy named @missa said i already have vive trackeds but ur video was so good i even watch it all keep the good work man

Great video! Ill have to get the parts before this video inevitably blows up.

im so happy i kept those damn controllers for so many years lmao, thank you will share my experience doing this soon

Tysm your tutorial is so good i taked time to find a clear one

Love solutions like this that make use of old hardware mainly because im a hoarder and still own 90% of the stuff to make this work but secondly its just a great way to breath life into things no longer used for there intended purpose!

this is such a good solution and very well explained. You my sir, are a legend.

Finally got is set up fairly decent tonight! I'll take a couple pictures of the setup and join your discord to share when I get the time here!

I'm not sure if you still read these comments but I just had to say thank you so so much for making such a fantastic tutorial, there simply isn't any other resource nearly as good for getting everything working from start to finish

You deserve way more subscribers for this

Great video, kinda makes me want to try this lol, even more cameras pointing at Me let's go

a little tip also, there is a program where you can use a third oculus touch as a hip tracker if you are on the cv1. very useful, and great tracking as it typical from the cv1. i highly recommend it to anyone who has a 3rd cv1 camera also for that 360 degree tracking similar in quality to the vive trackers from my experience. also, with 3 controllers, using driver4vr, if you ever got a new headset, such as a quest 2 you could use the 3 oculus touch controllers from the cv1 as full body. i saw you using the cv1 also cai! this method from what i have been told was indistinguishable from vive trackers i have been told, so i just wanted to mention it.

Wow! I just ran by pure chance into the iVRy VR alternative on Steam and have gone down the rabbit hole looking at VR alternatives. I had no idea such a thing had been going on for a few years except for one separate DIY project I followed on Discord for a while but the cost of all the hardware would've been as much if not more that a brand new Oculus. I know many people blast these VR alternatives, especially the ones using a smartphone as a screen, as being a frustrating and low quality experience compared to a Vive or Oculus which is nearly plug and play but I love these kinds of setups to use what you already have. Only thing I need to get are a few more PSEyes, the necessary software and that's it. I might splurge on a real VR system someday but for now this is a good way to test it out and just see if in fact I would use it much or if after the novelty wore off it would just collect dust. Great video. Subscribed.

Dude this is awesome. Someone get this man some more Subscribers!!!

That's actually a really smart use of the PSVR stuff. My brother owns a PSVR and I have a PCVR index setup. I might have to borrow his old move controllers and the PSVR camera. We love jank here, sometimes the jank solutions are better than $100+ solutions. I'll probably try this to see if I end up wanting the Tundra trackers. I know that not a lot of games support is so I'd have to try it first.

And there goes the price of ps eye. Have everything I need except 3 more eyes. Hopefully local turns up some good loot

That's perfect lmao I've had my ps eye camera and move controllers for nearly 11 years

I have never seen any video with such good explanation for something that looks complicated, you really did a perfect job and for the first time I actually want to try making something DIY! Keep up the good work, I wish you really get more attention on youtube. And if I get what you said, it would also work with Quest 2?!

that was a great tutorial, thanks

400 hundred subs you need more than that

I am subbing this is great thanks

always thought about this but i dont know why i never looked it up (maybe i was afraid that no one tried it and im too lazy to make it myself) im so glad this can be done lol, being a cheap ass is really rewarding sometimes

Why did I not find this sooner aaaaaar

im one hundred percent doing this. this seems fun

using ALVR for us quest 1/2 users allows you to have room centered tracking space, which will put you right where you were when the headset went to sleep, should help with this, vive trackers, or index controllers

This is both genius and goofy af, finally the playstation move will have a purpose in 2021

Also recently you can use driver for vr to use cv1 controllers as fbt

there's a full body tracking filter on tiktok and its surprisingly good

Hi Cai! Thought i'd return to the video and leave a comment with my experience after an evening of testing! I purchased everything said in the video immediately after watching, found three controllers online at £100 and 4 cameras at a local CEX shop for £3.50 each. Bargain i'd say! Everything arrived this morning and i've been testing it out. For the amount you're paying, i'm really impressed! I ran into a couple issues throughout setup but used some common sense and re-calibrated and ta-dah! We are now working with Full body tracking. Sometimes it's still a bit buggy and occasionally it'll slow down and need a restart, but overall the quality and tracking is 100x better than standard emulated kinect trackers. Just thought i'd leave this comment as I guess you post this video but never really hear people talk about going through with the option. I'm here to say it works remarkably well for the price. Thanks again for this amazing, in-depth tutorial, never ran into any serious problem and followed step-by step. Keep up the great content. *EDIT* if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

In brazil everything becomes expensive, huge respect to this man for helping people 🙏

I paid only 60 euros to do this and it works really well. If you don't want to spend too much money but want Full Body Tracking this is the right remedy.

DUDE! This video to me is literally a ray of hope. Here I was, about to save up for slimevr AND wait at least another 6 months to get it, it looked like the most affordable option (besides Kinect, which I have, and it sucks). Lo and behold, I find this video, and I am for sure doing this for FBT. The tracking looks better than slimevr, let alone Kinect; and it costs LESS?!?! Btw, your video was very concise, well-edited, and even funny. Thanks for making this, you've got me so excited for this viable fbt alternative.

thank you so much

Hey man! How's dancing with these? Love the video, keep up the incredible content.

was considering using this for knees and elbow tracking since i already bit the bullet and got vive 3.0s

for poeple with tracking issues. i put the cameras to high in my play space for the first time, its kinda help to put them down

Kool and underrated

cool i subscribe i used Kinect before and it was not so good but ok i want to try this but i might just wait for slime vr and i also have tried vives as well and they are good i just dont like how you have you have cameras or base stations for it so ima wait for slime vr and thanks for showing this a a option its good and i love it i hope more people watch this video and good luck and thanks for this i might try it one day

before i could afford a vive i did the this with a phone steaming pc vr chat, interesting i could reuse it for full body.

Now i need to figure this out with wii remotes.

I was thinking about that idea but using 2 camera face to face for avoid "dead zone"

22:11 I have a question. How we’re you able to tie the controllers to the track straps? The little metal piece that’s used to usually spin the vive trackers on to tie them is in the way of me tying my controllers. is there any way you took it off or anything or what did you do?

Looks like there are a few of you guys interested in your own modified hip controllers! With my design you will have to heavily modify your controllers, even doing some soldering to extend a few wires. On TOP of 3D printing the case for it on your own. If you're up to the task, here is a link to the GitHub repository with all the 3D files and more! Tutorial coming soon! (Please read the README) github.com/CaiVR/PSmove-Fullbody-CAD-Files

i have a question is better to put your hip led in front of camera or behind your back?

that's a vary smart alterative

I'n trying to connect the psmove controllers to the pc to play vr games on my pc without having to buy a new vr. Using the app the pair option doesn't work, but i will try to do it like you said in the video (with the cmd)

What are those move holders you have on your feet? You mentioned and showed zipties in the tutorial but I cannot get them to work at all, before noticing you had gray like holders in later clips. Are they printed or can I get those somewhere?

Can you also show us how you made the hip tracker? That’d be absolutely wonderful lol

I wanted to ask, I have 4 controllers set up, I wanted to add an additional controller to the hip. One in the front and one in the back. Is this at all possible? I also own Driver4VR

I fell into 2 problems: 1. Despite following every step, two of the controllers are jittering around in the steamvr playspace while one functions alright. 2. Sometimes the controllers end up turning off randomly, but I feel that is probably a battery issue and I just need to charge it. Im just leaving that problem there just in case it's something a bit more major. If there are any solutions to this I would greatly appreciate it :)

This is an amazing tutorial! But do you have a link for the straps you used for the controllers?

At 23:23, where the trackers were in kind of a ball together, I can't get them to basically separate. I'm not sure what to do after spawning them and they don't come apart to calibrate them

I’m watching this knowing damn well I don’t have the room for this

How do you connect your ps4 motion controller o have only 2 ps3 motion controllers so i have to use a ps4 one for the waist but it connects too fast to the software (also windows 11) that it doesnt give it tome to connect to the software 😅

Please make/link a tutorial for the custom waist tracker

Hey dude can you throw me a link to the 3d printed holders for the controllers you are using on your feet and belt??

I wonder if there's anyway to use this method with non PS eye webcams or phone cameras for cheap mocap in Unreal Engine

Just funny, that I've been trying to pair my controllers with psmoveservice and just 1 day before this video I tried with psmove api. But still one question: how to celar the ps move controller pair history, cuz its not reconnecting for some reason and when i connect and pair it automaticly disconnects after pairing succesful. Underrated video

I have a old rift that still works but i use quest 2 now but i dont have full tracking yet how can i use that option that u was talking about with the controller's I'm kind of interested to learn more from yea if u have the time. Also ty for your time explaining how this one works.

Can I use a simple webcam for tracking? Or why the ps3 eye is needed? Is there a way to work arround it? (I cant get ps3 eyes in hungary)

I'm getting a VR set on Tuesday and I'm using my own money

Am I able to lay down with these things? Especially with one on the back of my hips? Or am I able to move it to the front of my hips?

Can you use different cameras than just the ps3 cameras

im having an issue. when i spawn the trackers everything works great in steam vr. when i load into vrchat, it constantly makes my character walk to the left and the trackers are all out of whack. is there something i can do to fix this? should i recalibrate everything?

Hello, do you perhaps have more footage/videos of you using this fbt setup?

what's that other ps move light you used?

It’s only letting me connect one controller at a time like I connected all of them but 2 out of the 3 doesn’t connect and when I try to connect it it said error connecting to psmove #2

I had 2 cameras and controllers from makeshift vr headset. When i got cv1 i forget about them untile today, when i saw fbt using only webcam. I have only those ps3 eyes as webcams. Tryed it then i remembdered about your video and now i'm gona use those 2 controllers to track legs and copy video from one of those into this webcam tracking app for body. If this will work out fine i'll get good fbt for free 🤑🤑🤑🤑

Can you any camera or does it have to be the PS3 ones?

Im using a mix of ps3 and ps4 versions, the ps3 version seems to celebrate fine but the PS4 versions are being difficult. When ever I try to calibrate the PS4 versions they say “magnetometer disabled” and I don’t know what’s causing it, I’ve tried pairing again which they do but still nothing. If you have any suggestions that’d be great thanks

About the limited amount of USB Ports, can I use a USB Hub instead?

Which is better PS Move or CV1 Controllers for Full Body?

If I already have a ps4 will the pairing be altered or affected?

i need help like so much i want to test it out but its just not connecting and lighting up when i plug the usb in or use bluetooth for that matter

Hey idk if u remember but I got it figured out but idk how to tell what percent the controllers are and one of my controllers light doesn’t pop up when I plug it in but it still turns on so I hope it’s charging

Is there a way to see what percent your ps move controllers are at?

can this work if we only have two controller and complete the set with owo hipps tracking ?

hello i have something to say i cannot copy the lib folder to bin folder can u help me?
