Inside. Out. Muthafuckin’. Tracking.
Finally. You know how like 50% of my posts in this sub are just me bitching about tracking towers? Christ. GabeN, my face is ready. Where do I stick my credit card?
I kind of disagree with their constant reference to wireless connectivity in a PCVR context as “streaming,” but I guess we need to pander to the lowest common denominator or no one will get it.
I hope they still work with lighthouses. Inside-out tracking is much worse than lighthouse tracking. Having the option would be nice.
It’s confirmed they don’t
Booooooooooooo
You can mix controllers and headsets in SteamVR, right? At least if you’re tethered or “streaming” or whatever from Steam on PC, I imagine you could use this plus an existing pair of lighthouse driven controllers if you really wanted to. If you can’t out of the box, I expect it to take about twelve seconds for motivated nerds to figure out how to force it into happening.
I obviously wouldn’t hold your breath for that being a thing when you’re using it as a standalone device.
