Thanks everyone! @Francisco: I'm using 8 because I'm not using the Vive itself for head tracking ( because of the cable I have limited range of movement ), so I replaced it with a tracker. Also I added 2 trackers fore the elbows, but I can also not use those if I add props ( swords or general objects ), in order to also be able to have a 1:1 objects movement as well, which comes very handy for cutscenes. I'm streaming everything into UE4, using it as a sort of recorder, and the nice thing is that I can add specific features, like realtime adjustment of the constraints for handling objects with 2 hands and other very usefull stuff.
The Noitom gloves are an evolution of the gloves from the Perception Neuron suit. The principle is the same, but in order for the gloves to work by themselves they use a Vive Tracker for each, which gave only the positional data, while the rotation is given by the IMU sensor on the hand. You also have a dongle, which ensure no lag at all. For the setup I used ( IKinema + VR Gloves ) I basically get only the data from the fingers, while everything else is driven by IKinema Orion. If you're interested they will get preorders for the gloves starting next week, so check the website ;) I created a bit ago a custom setup in order to use just the Perception Neuron gloves with the Vive Trackers, by also adding interactivity in VR ( grab, teleport, very similar to the video I posted ), but with these new gloves the data is much more reliable, even if they do require demagnetization once in a while ( especially if you wear them while working using mouse and keyboard ) @Pierre: I know nothing about scripting, and coming from Softimage the node-based logic setup is incredibly quick to use and to create prototypes. Trust me, even if you don't exactly know how to create something at first, the docs are quite good and there are tons of tutorials around for everything ( not only gaming ), so chances are that if you want to develop something withjout going nuts yuou'll be able to. Also, Maya is still awfull :D If anyone is interested I'll be soon offering the full body mocap solution as a service, and I'm creating custom VR solution for the industry outside gaming, so if you're interested feel free to contact me at [email protected] If you have further questions let me know!
