[VBS & PCVR] - How to use Wrist tracker

[VIVE_chengnay]

Hi @EricLu,

For one wrist tracker and one controller case,

simply click on "Pair New"(Settings>Inputs>Controllers) on either one of the controller, and start pairing your wrist tracker.

What will happen when you do above steps?

I also am not able to get 'Emulate VIVE Wrist Tracker as VIVE Tracker" working in VIU.
VBS 2.0.8a and VIU 1.19.0.
I also tried setting the SteamVR roles to left and right foot. The wrist trackers are visible in the SteamVR skybox.

This is expected behavior.

Hi @AndyQ,

Is "Use VIVE Wrist Tracker for hand tracking" is unchecked?

Hi,

I had issues making the Wrist Tracker to work as Vive Tracker in Unity with PCVR, as they were not being recognized by OpenXR.

The crux of the issue (for me at least) was that in SteamVR, the wrist tracker roles were set to "Left/Right Wrist". However, the tracker profile that I used in OpenXR's interactions profiles (from a file that circulated a lot in this forum I believe), doesn't take into account this role.

It's a quick modification, but here's the file in case that helps someone. Don't forget to check "Emulate Vive Wrist Tracker as VIVE Tracker" in Vive Streaming options !

Cheers.
