DJ used Wii Remote controllers to control JD's arms. The Wii Remote Controller skill control is unique and allows you to get the accelerometer data from the controllers and use it in ARC.

Currently there isn't a way that I know of to have the Vive controllers show up in ARC. The controllers pair to the headset and not to the PC directly so there wouldn't be a way (currently) to have them communicate to ARC.

There are a few open source projects that use the Vive concept but I would recommend finding some Wii Remotes (the older ones that don't have the plus built-in) to try this method of arm control.

Thank you very much for the insights on that, Jeremie!

I will take a look at our local used-gear-sites and see if i can find some Wii Remotes

I am using the Oculus Quest to control my robot, it is all set up in Unity... I  am pretty sure there is a dev pack that supports the Vive!!

Good call @Mickey I completely forgot about that!

Its not for the Vive though... I do not own the hardware, so I cannot help to get this going! But it should be possible! Unity can connect to ARC, its just a matter of getting the Vive controllers going! I think there should be a free asset for Unity!!

are the stl's from the hands to get some where? are these made for ez robot servo's?

Hey Mickey,very cool video there,excellent work!

Thanks I will have to continue on this one...VR fever caught me, and now I was hijacked by some games, that kept me from robotics!!

Those hands are for Lewan Soul LX16A Servos, you can use them with ARC, but you would need to modify them if you would want them to fit on your JD...I can upload them to Thingiverse if you are interested?
