Vive 3.0 Tracker Setup in Freezer Warehouse with multiple Base stations

[pavan]

Dear Team,

I've been successfully using the Vive 3.0 tracker with two base stations for the past year, and the setup has been performing exceptionally.

I have a couple of questions regarding a new project:

I am looking to track an Automated Mobile Robot (AMR) in a freezer warehouse operating at -18 degrees Celsius. Is the Vive 3.0 tracker suitable for this environment?

Given the large size of the warehouse, I am considering using up to 10 base stations to ensure comprehensive tracking of the AMR. Would using this many base stations create any interference or affect the accuracy of the tracker poses due to overlapping signals?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Pavan

Hi @pavan,

I found post discussing about temperature.

Are you able to pre-trial just two base stations in such cold condition?

Thank you @VIVE_chengnay for your prompt response.

I understand from the attached post that -18 degrees Celsius is not suitable for the operation of the Vive tracker and base stations.

Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to conduct any trials in cold conditions yet.

On a different note, could I consider using up to 10 base stations to ensure comprehensive tracking of the AMR in a large space at ambient room temperature?

 

Regards

Pavan

Thanks again @VIVE_chengnay

After reviewing the provided link, I noticed that the comments and the post date back to 2018, leading me to believe that the experiments mentioned were conducted with Vive 2.0. I'm interested in understanding if there have been any improvements or updates with the release of Vive 3.0.

One of the comments mentions that "when you move too far from one base station 2.0, it attempts to connect to a closer one, causing a white flash. Each time this happens, there seems to be a risk of the play space becoming completely disrupted." Is this issue still present? Reliable tracking with just 4 base stations seems like an area of improvement in future.

Regards,
Pavan

Can you also post your questions to Steam forum? I don't remember there is base station 3.0.
