Thanks for those updates Nicolas. I'm still following the same kind of path, with LiveAction, Optitrack and xSens. We recently picked up a bunch of vive trackers with the goal of checking out the lower cost Orion as well. What is the cost on the hi5 glove?
We are currently using the manus, which is pretty price, though they are still in dev mode, and not a consumer release. The full body IK in UE with liveaction and its stabilization, terrain adaptation and foot locking is fantastic. I noticed a bit of latency in the videos you posted. Is that the screen capture software affecting mocap? What sort of consistent fps are you able to push with your setup? Finally, what method are you using to align HMD? The orion, kind of seems to use a vague pawn and camera alignment, but it seems that drif would occur over time between the HMD and the avatar rig. I've been thinking of different ways to do this, and am working at trying to positionally align and constrain the HMD to the head joint, but use the HMD Orientaion to drive the head joints rotation. This is the part that seems be documented the least, though I have read of a number of different solutions. What do you find works best?
