Using Vive Controllers For Arms?

Hi,

ive successfully managed to get Virtual Reality running with my HTC Vive and the JD Camera, very nice:)

Is anyone aware how to use the Vive Controllers to control the arms, like in that video as JD controls the arms live and sets up new frames via button clicks?

That would be awesome!

Thx and greetz!! Thomas

Do those headsets come with controllers and 6DOF inside out tracking....some of them seem to be pretty low priced! I guess it all boils down to the specs!!

The Oculus Quest does not need to be connected to a PC, it is a standalone device, no need for cables either...but it can also be used via cable to a PC and you can use it with the Oculus Store and Steam VR...

No, I am using Steam VR without any problems!

But I do agree that since Facebook bought Oculus, and is sponging up the VR market...it would be very good to have another company, to keep VR diversity alive!

Its just a shame that HTC is moving away from the consumer market!

I am not speaking pro Facebook, I just choose the device from the money vs specs and portability!

Virtual Desktop was discontinued when Oculus Link was released!

It is a standard download in the Oculus Go store and works amazing with my PC games,just finished some robot battles in Borderlands2 and Fallout 4 in my Steam/PC Library. You can still even sideload Virtual Desktop if you have the Quest,still works My favorite is of course the  Terminator Resistance PC game in the Oculus Go ,the T-800 really look about 7-8 feet tall in VR and practically give you a heart attack when they sneek up on you. Also ever since the Tridef 3D went belly up ,new programs for the thousands of steam games have surfaced for 3D effect to all Oculus devices called "Reshade" free and works just as good as Tridef ever did, I tried out MadMax with the reshade and it looks awesome in 3d and vr wrapper in the Oculus. I like to keep the car view inside the car looking out the window,so realistic when driving and shooting your shot gun out the side windows.
