HTC Vive Tracker (3.0) & Vive Base Station

I recently purchased 3 of these for full body tracking. For what you get, these are just some little plastic pucks and not worth $99 a piece. Honestly, not even worth the price if they gave you three for $99. Seriously, there isnt much to these trackers and probably cost them maybe $10 a piece to produce, if that. Now, that said, the experience is absolutely worth the price. Being able to go into VR with full body presence is just something else. Not too many games support it, but the ones that do completely changes how you play. Pros: 1. After the initial pairing and update of firmware, they connect quickly and consistently. 2. I cant really think of any specific pros. They work. You kinda forget about the trackers and just get immersed in the game. Cons: 1. Charging is on the slow side. Im used to the Index controllers having fast charging, so using these included USB 2.0 cables to charge can be fairly slow in comparison. 2. Battery life could be better. 3. This one isnt really a con, but it does make me question the QC on these devices. 1 of the trackers I got has a yellow charging light, instead of a orange light. Not a problem really, but it is a bit of an eye sore when they are charging to see that on tracker with the wrong colored light. Overall, I wont fault it for the one with the wrong colored charging light, but I will ding it one star because of the slow charging and battery life. I honestly cant wait to see what the next thing in VR tech will be for full body tracking.

Easy setup with steam vr and the tracking is great.. would recommend a third or fourth base station depending on room setup.

Upgrading from the 2.0, its much lighter, has noticeably less jitters on the 3.0, and the extra battery life is a god send for the longer vr sessions or when you forget to charge your trackers.

Im using these with a Valve Index for full body tracking. Easy to set up, and fantastic tracking accuracy. Note that each tracker needs its own USB dongle, so if youre planning to get three trackers for full body tracking be sure that youve got three USB ports available on your PC.

I dont recommend getting this tiny device if you plan on playing video games with it, price will definitely come down exponentially in the coming months so be patient. Now if your an animator, this is a MUST cop. Ikinema Orion or VRIK will give you very high quality mocap data. Especially VRIK if you tweak the settings a bit. If you have 10 trackers, VRIK and a lot of space in your basement or garage, the quality/accuracy is comparable to Xsens, maybe 80% there. Ikinema Orion is amazing but pricey, $500/yr is not worth it compared to VRIK, I already had VRIK so I just spent $500 on more trackers rather than the Ikinema software. The more trackers, the better.

The trakers i love i used the 2018 trakers and when i got These ones i love them the battery life is better and the there light waight and smaller.

These are a nice to have item and not a must have item. I have 2 and each one uses its own USB dongle. They need to take a lesson from logitech and figure out a single unified dongle. Setup was a bit confusing and I had to find a youtube video to figure it out. They do add another dimension to the games that support them, I only wish more games did.

I got 3 of these to play with body tracking in multiple games mainly VRChat. They work great and i have never had any issues out of them. At first the tracking on them was horrid but after making the dongles be in direct view of the trackers and plugged them into USB-C. They have been working great.

These trackers are very nice although if you were expecting a charging cable in the box I would be disappointed because all the box comes with is a dongle, dongle base and a cable for the dongle base. If you plan on using these for production or body tracking i definitely recommend it!

Upgraded to 3.0 after I yeeted a 2.0 into the wall attempting to kick my friend in the face in VRChat. Just upgraded all to 3.0 and sold functional 2 to a friend. Noticed 2.0 base stations track better with these since they are smaller and have a smaller fov and the way 2.0 base stations track and scan is better.
