2. Ultimate Tracker PCVR Setup

...

  1. After room setup is complete, turn on the other tracker(s). VIVE Hub will show that the room map is being copied from the first tracker (indicated with a star) to the other trackers. Once the map is successfully transferred, the trackers will appear in SteamVR default scene when you put the headset on.

  2. In VIVE Hub, go to VIVE Ultimate Tracker → Tracker setup and click the Set up trackers button.

  3. On your PC, start SteamVR or restart SteamVR if it is already running.

  4. Change the setting under SteamVR Settings → Startup / Shutdown → Manage Add-Ons → opengloves and stretchsense set to Off.

  5. Start VIVE Hub.

  6. Open the VIVE Space Calibrator.

  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to align the trackers with your Meta Quest headset controller. If you have mounted the tracker to your StretchSense glove, remove it and hold it next to the Meta Quest Touch controller at the same time in the same orientation as depicted on screen while performing a figure-8 movement as instructed. The controller and tracker must be close to each other, with the top of the tracker facing the direction of movement while performing the calibration for the best tracking quality. You may have to periodically do recalibration in the same way in the future if your trackers start to drift too far from your Meta Quest Touch controllers.

  8. Change the setting under SteamVR Settings → Startup / Shutdown → Manage Add-Ons → opengloves stretchsense set to On.

Note

You must periodically update your calibration in VIVE Hub’s OpenVR Space Calibrator as the calibration will eventually drift between play settings if the Meta Quest headset goes to sleep. Both the Quest controllers and Ultimate Trackers must be connected at the same time, with the stretchsense SteamVR addon set to Off to complete this calibration in the future.

3. SteamVR Tracker Role Setup

...

  1. On your Meta Quest headset, go to Settings → System → Power → Sleep mode → 4 hours or never. This will avoid the headset automatically turning off and breaking the OpenVR Space Calibrator calibration in SteamVR. You should only need to change this setting once.

  2. Connect to your PC via Virtual Desktop, Steam Link or Meta Quest Link.

  3. On your PC, start SteamVR or restart SteamVR if it is already running.

  4. Start VIVE Hub.

  5. Put on the headset and activate VIVE Space Calibrator from the SteamVR dashboard.

  6. The Ultimate Trackers and virtual Index Controllers will now align correctly in virtual space where your physical trackers are positions, assuming you have also run the Open Glove calibration for the tracker offsets, as described in our OpenGloves Configuration Guidepositioned.

Note

Remember to re-run the calibration if the Meta Quest headset goes to sleep or you restart the headset.
