#SlimeVR

I think we're seeing the final major iterations of #VirtualReality Controllers, and #VR #technology is about to hit that maturity point where there isn't much else to do beyond making what's there better.

Unless someone comes up with a groundbreaking new way to do input with them, #VRControllers will condense to buttons / sticks that you attach to your hands (either literally just half a #gamepad on a strap or harnesses for your fingers that push back) and cameras on the headset and in the room do #FingerTracking, #FullbodyTracking, and #FaceTracking. In other words, the designs where you actually hold controllers or attach extensive trackers to your body are kind of dead, aside from maybe #SlimeVR being marketed for a while longer as a way to improve that tracking and compensate for occlusion issues.

After that, attaching stuff to your body will be all about #haptic feedback, like a #HapticVest or a #gigglepuck.

The rest will be #software for #VRExperiences like #Resonite and #VRChat.

Good news! I finally got my slime trackers! This is after I think 4 or 5 months of delays or something crazy. It was getting to the point that I was worried that they won't arrive before I moved. I don't know if I'll get to use them at all before I move but at least I have them now and once I'm settled in Japan I'll be able to use them
These are the vr trackers for 3d streams that I bought ages ago

It is finished! That took so much longer then anticipated, probably because i got distracted with other projects but this commission is finally complete :blob_coffee:

Has anyone experience on selfbuilding #slimeVR github.com/SlimeVR/ ?
Wondering if its worth it.

First fully assembled tracker! The slime software seems to be reading the tracker correctly πŸ₯°

All 10 of the IMUs are now assembled. I'm happy i was able to consistently make them by hand. It's not ready on this tiny scale.

Well, i might have been overly optimistic about making the bmi270 modules myself. I should have checked the size before buying all 10 of them 😭 even under 30x optical zoom, it's very difficult to trace the pads and my printer can't even print that well elements this tiny (yes this is a regular needle on that pic, the pads are 0.25mm x 0.475mm in size). I think i will have to order PCBs or just ready modules πŸ˜”

I assembled a bunch of those modules and ran a quick test. Looks like the chips work so i suppose i can start flashing the actual slime vr firmware onto it

Finally came back to the slime vr project. I have all the components so here is a timelapse of me assembling the pcb of the bmi270 module. Don't worry i corrected all the pieces after the recording

Gonna start a new project soon. My partner tasked me with crafting a full body tracking suit for her vr headset. I will be making the slimevr with 10 BMI270 sensors. I find it incredibly neat that there is an opensource solution for this :neocat_cute:

The text "TORA" from the HaritoraX logo is inside the line with the "X" from the logo on the bottom right corner of the line.Screenshot of the homepage of VERT with the slogan "The file converter you'll love". It shows a navigation bar at the top, containing the pages "Upload", "Convert", "Settings", "About", and a theme toggle using the sun or moon. The page shows an upload box and cards showing the formats supported by VERT.A screenshot from the JovannMC YouTube channel, with 832 subscribers and 98 videos. It features a video called "What is SlimeTora for Haritora? (+ where I've been...)".

Caved in and pre-ordered some slimes near the end of last year, they finally arrived yesterday!
Took all afternoon but I finally dialled them in to an acceptable level.
Still have some fine-tuning to do, but at least my legs have stopped bending backwards. XD

A collage of two pictures taken within VRChat of a polar ProtoBear. First picture it's standing in contrapposto, hands on hips, side facing the camera.
Second picture it's standing looking under it's left foot as if it stepped in something.

The date/time for the 2nd #Haritora / #SlimeTora meetup has been chosen! See the details in the screenshot and make sure to join the VRChat group (or Discord) to attend the event when it's time!
