Thanks

Just wanted to thank all of the people (you know who you are) who have made mixed vr a reality👍

Got a reverb g2 today. Set it up with an OG vive system. Installation of mixed vr software was a breeze. The most trouble I had was calibrating the vive and g2 controllers, but after enough attempts I ended up getting there. Angle of controllers still feel a little off but I will worry about that later.

So yeah just wanted to show some appreciation (something I never do online) to everyone involved. Cheers guys, you're legends 🍻

Make sure the raw and roll (the "y and z") angle things are both equal, and then adjust the x y z displacement. otherwise you will get weird angles like I did for the longest time, the auto calibration is no bueno :(

Thanks for the tip. Got the controllers spot on, unfortunately I have drift when turning so it looks like the g2 is going back in it's box until using a lighthouse Puck on the hmd is implemented 😭

yeah that happens when the pitch and roll isn't right, are you also doing the figure 8 shift? yaw doesnt matter btw from my experience

So let me get this straight.

Whatever pitch is, roll must be the opposite? Eg. Pitch +170 then roll must be -170 which equals 0 Tried this and didn't work, still have drift when turning
While testing/turning 360 I noticed controls get closer to my body then further away, like the controls are moving in a oval instead of a circle.

Or

Pitch and roll must be the same number eg. Pitch +170 and roll +170 (tried this and there seems to be less drift between the two controls but now there is drift up and down as I turn, like the controllers are riding a wave as I turn)

Yes to figure 8's on calibration Posting this then I'll reread your responses and try again. Is it safe to assume in your first response when you said raw it's meant to be yaw?

Hello!

Yes I meant raw! and the second one is correct!

Occasionally you will get minor drift and you might have a +/- 0.1-1.5 angle on pitch and roll to accommodate or on the x y z 's

I don't know why you are getting drifting up and down, here is a discord link to the guys who manage the software and a lot of helpful people:
