Does Vive use infrared?
The Vive headset has a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a 110 degree field of view. Inside the headset’s outer-shell divots are dozens of infrared sensors that detect the base stations’ IR pulses to determine the head set’s current location in a space. Other sensors include a G-Sensor, gyroscope and proximity sensor.
Does the HTC Vive have built in sensors?
The HTC Vive kit comes with two base stations, sensors that map where the headset and controllers are at any one time. The other base station would be more of a problem as we don’t have two tripods laying around.
Does HTC Vive controllers have finger tracking?
The finger tracking feature will precisely detect the hand gestures, and players will control the avatar to interact with other characters in the virtual realm. The virtual characters can be capable of touch with each other.
Can HTC Vive work without sensors?
It simply isn’t designed to be used without them, even for such purposes as viewing ‘flat’ games or videos, the headset is tracked to allow the user to move their head (and body) around without creating a feeling of nausea from the conflicting stimulii.
How do Vive sensors work?
It uses alternating sweeps of horizontal and vertical lasers to pass over the HTC Vive headset and SteamVR controllers which are covered in small sensors that detect that lasers as they go by. The system cleverly integrates all of this data to determine the rotation of the devices and their position in 3D space.
What do HTC Vive base stations do?
A base station is HTC Vive’s communication beacon. Base Stations power the presence and immersion of room-scale virtual reality by helping the Vive headset and controllers track their exact locations.
What is HTC Vive VR headset?
HTC Vive is a virtual reality brand of HTC Corporation. The brand’s first virtual reality headset, simply called HTC Vive, was introduced as part of a collaboration with Valve Corporation, implementing its SteamVR hardware and software ecosystem.
What sensors does the HTC Vive have?
The headset is your window to the VR environment. The headset has sensors that are tracked by the base stations. Important: The sensors on the headset are sensitive. Do not cover or scratch the sensor lenses, including the proximity sensor….Back.

How do VR controllers track?
Acoustic systems use ultrasonic sound waves to identify the position and orientation of target objects. Mechanical tracking can use articulated arms/limbs/joysticks/sensors connected to headsets or inside them, much like the inertial tracking in phones often made possible by accelerometers and gyroscopes.
Which VR has full hand tracking?
Oculus Quest 2
Hand Tracking works by using the inside-out cameras on Oculus Quest 2 and Quest. Your headset will detect the position and orientation of your hands and the configuration of your fingers. Once detected, computer vision algorithms are used to track the movement and orientation of your hands.
How many sensors does the HTC Vive need?
Impeccably designed for VR versatility. Six camera sensors and the latest software optimisations enhance inside-out tracking accuracy.
Can you use HTC Vive without base?
Yes, because without base stations tracking the Vive headset won’t work. And even if you hacked it to work without the Lighthouse stations, you would just obtain a tethered Gear VR (a 3DOF headset) and it is a terrible idea.
