These Full Body Trackers are AMAZING! - StonX Trackers

full body tracking is one of my favorite things about virtual reality play VR chat long enough and you're gonna find yourself fighting against the urge to splurge and I don't blame you these tiny little things can drastically change the way you play but my God isn't an expensive investment hit that side button and I will buy you for something like the Vive trackers or Tundra trackers which are the cream of the crop when it comes to full body you're going to be spending almost four hundred dollars and if you don't have base stations because you have a Quest 2 or something you can add another 300 to your total it is not cheap but that's where these come in full body trackers from stunks or stone X I'm just gonna get stocks I think it's supposed to be stocks a team consisting of only four people who have been so generous as a semi instead of their trackers to check out for you guys so take a seat grab a drink and sit back as we talk about stonk's trackers for contacts let me talk about the different types of full body tracking in VR if you want the best of the best base station tracks trackers is where it's at these are your Vive and Tundra trackers the way that they work is that you have these base stations that shoot out IR lasers throughout your room that trigger small IR sensors on your devices then by comparing the timings at which the sensors were triggered it can calculate the position of your devices with high accuracy and low latency there's a bunch of different Alternatives you can do to achieve full body tracking you can use an Xbox Connect webcams and more recently things like the horizora X slime VR and mokopi all of which are cheaper than Vive and Tundra's offerings the stocks trackers fall into the same category as these they all work on the network of Imus or inertial measurement units in simpler terms there are devices that combine multiple sensors usually the accelerometers gyroscopes and magnetometers so that it can track things like how fast it's moving and its orientation because of this these trackers don't need base stations so you no longer have to worry about occlusion this is great for people who want to play VR chat but also want to get real cozy under a nice warm blanket I can't tell you how many times my hip tracker has been blocked by the armrest on my chair causing me to just go flying whenever I'm playing VR chat it's probably due to my base stations not being very high up towards the ceiling it is recommended procedure that you put them up there but I just haven't had the time to actually Mount them so let's talk about stocks for a little bit there I was playing some video games on a Friday afternoon went suddenly a doorbell who could it be foreign [Music] I did a little bit of research since this is the very first time I've ever heard of this company so I go on their website and the first thing I see are the letters CBT and then shortly after fap I now had no idea what the [ __ ] was going on but I continued to read on anyways fast accurate positioning Advanced Fusion algorithms geosphere driftless operations socks it all sounded very interesting uh okay I'll try it out after a little back and forth with the people at stonks they sent me six of their Inside Out production Prototype 2 trackers an iteration of a long line of predecessors they also sent me a dongle that also shines pretty cool RGB lights one awesome thing about this is that all of The Trackers connect to it as opposed to needing one for each tracker like the Vives the shell is made out of 3D printed plastic soon to be injection molded it has a USBC port a power button and an indicator light it has a battery life of roughly 15 hours but the production version which is what consumers will be able to get their hands on will be roughly 20 hours much better than a seven and a half on my five trackers it also weighs in at only 30 grams the Vive trackers weigh 75 grams I could basically just toss these things around and one more thing is that the stonks trackers come in at around 270 dollars versus Vibes 390 dollars that is a hundred and twenty dollars you could be saving which is about 12 copies of Among Us VR now keep in mind that all of this stuff is pre-production everything you see here is subject to changes in the future so if you ever pick these trackers up chances are is that what you see here is not a full representation of the final product because I can tell you right now they're not perfect and I ran into a couple of issues I went ahead and began the setup process a series of videos were provided to me to help me in getting everything up and running and from there I got a couple of hiccups for one The Trackers just wouldn't pick up on the cacao program automatic height measurement wasn't able to get my height correct I'm 6'4 by the way whatever this is and then they released the firmware update that was supposed to fix some connectivity issues but ended up causing the tractors to just not work at all I just had so many issues with getting it to work that I had to rewrite the script for this video multiple times because I kept on finding new bugs all of that was eventually solved though thanks to very good support from the people at stunts fixing a lot of issues once I brought them up overall the setup for this thing was a little bit of a pain but to be fair that's what it means to be a prototype there's bound to be issues but now that all of that is out of the way it was finally time to test it in VR chat First Impressions I was absolutely Blown Away the tracking quality on these things is at times indistinguishable from my Vive trackers I was shocked speaking of the five trackers I put the stonks trackers up against them because you know that's that's the only other type of full body I have you know I'm not rich guys I ran them through a series of tests performing common activities you might see in VR chat walking around standing around sitting laying down dancing and finally cartwheels or or is that is that just me leave a comment down below I can't be the only one there's nothing that I love more than to just walk and stand around in VR chat as opposed to sitting because you never know when you're gonna get jumped they're chasing me oh shoot oh God oh God oh in this test the stocks trackers hold up just fine it looks Supernatural minus a little bit of jitteriness when I do sit down they also look pretty good the Vive trackers of course are a little more precise and smooth the songs trackers still suffer from that jitteriness laying down doesn't look bad either you're not usually moving around a lot when you're doing this so both of them do pretty good for dancing I performed some of my favorite dances from one of my favorite games fortnite things started to ramp up a little bit here as obviously there's a lot more movement going on so I was eager to see how the songs trackers would hold up and this is when you can really start seeing which one is which although it's not bad the song Strikers still struggle with it being a little jittery compared to the more grounded five trackers with cartwheels they hold up surprisingly well well although there's a couple weird things happening with my feet it does look like I did a cartwheel and there you have it overall I'm super impressed with how these trackers perform considering that they're not only a fraction of the price compared to Vice trackers coming in at around 270 dollars but are also still just prototypes they have the potential to be really good trackers especially ones all the bugs with the software are ironed out and when future firmware updates further improve tracking quality more and more full body tracking Solutions have been emerging recently and I hope that in the future we'll see more users with access to it thank you to stonks for sending out their trackers to me I'm really grateful and special thanks to my patreons you guys
