SlimeVR is a set of open hardware sensors and open source software that
facilitates full-body tracking (FBT) in virtual reality. With no base station
required, SlimeVR makes wireless VR FBT affordable and comfortable.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

SlimeVR FBT provides simple, effective tracking of your body and limbs in VR
games and other applications. it makes full-body tracking comfortable and
affordable by leveraging high-quality inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors
and a Wi-Fi connection to your PC rather than wires, cameras, or base stations.
Taking the Lower-body set as an example, five trackers—one on each thigh,
another on each ankle, and a fifth at the chest—are enough to get the job done.
Each tracker monitors its own rotation in space, and SlimeVR software uses your
proportions and headset location to calculate joint angles and estimate limb
positions. In more technical terms, SlimeVR relies on absolute-orientation
sensors, a configurable skeleton model, and forward kinematics. The result is
like having virtual Vive trackers at key locations on your body.



The base set of five trackers is sufficient to cover lower-body movement (legs
and waist) and is widely supported by VR games and applications. VRChat, NeosVR
and LIV can use additional SlimeVR trackers to monitor the position and rotation
of your feet, knees, elbows, chest, and more!


OPTIMIZED FOR ACCESSIBILITY & COMFORT

Your comfort is our primary goal. SlimeVR trackers are lightweight, easy to
wear, and entirely self-contained. Because they do not depend on cameras or base
stations, they are able to track a wide range of motion without ever being
occluded, or blocked from view, in a way that would cause external sensors to
lose track of them.




COMPATIBLE WITH MANY DIFFERENT PLATFORMS

SlimeVR is broadly supported by popular VR software, including:

 * PC games and other applications, including VRChat, NeosVR, and Blade &
   Sorcery, to name just a few
 * VRChat on Quest 2 standalone with or without PC
 * Streaming VR applications with an avatar
 * VTubing direactly via OSC or Tracking World
 * SteamVR games
 * SteamVR games played using the Shadow platform

And much more as we grow!


WHAT ABOUT THE OCULUS (META) QUEST?

Support for Full-Body Tracking depends on the game and its developers.
Currently, only VRChat and VRWorkout support Full-Body Tracking with SlimeVR on
Oculus Quest without the need to run the game on a PC.

Full support of this is still in development, but thanks to the recent updates
from VRChat, where they introduced OSCTrackers, it’s now possible to use SlimeVR
fully standalone with VRChat! Here’s a guide from TheMysticle that shows the set
up process. Important note: We are still working on Android and Quest app for
SlimeVR, so for now it requires using a terminal emulator to run, but we plan to
solve it soon!




FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

 * Native SteamVR support
 * 100 Hz refresh rate
 * Completely wireless via 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi
 * Over 15 hours of playtime with a built-in 1200 mAh battery
 * USB Type-C charging and hacking
 * Over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates
 * Works with all SteamVR-compatible headsets & Meta Quest 2
 * Does not require a PC with Wi-Fi support
 * Can connect to a Wi-Fi router on the same local network as your
   Ethernet-connected PC or directly to your PC if it does have Wi-Fi support
   (via the motherboard, a Wi-Fi card, or an external Wi-Fi dongle)




INTERFERENCE & DRIFT

SlimeVR is not affected by magnetic interference or positional drift, despite
its reliance on IMU sensors for tracking. Each tracker only monitors its own
rotation, which is enough for our software to estimate your pose. That means
your virtual legs will never do that thing where they suddenly fly away. (So
embarrassing…) SlimeVR is also unaffected by magnets or metal, as it does not
rely on a magnetometer. Over time, there is some horizontal-rotation (yaw)
drift, so body parts can end up facing the wrong direction after a while. We’ve
done a lot of work to compensate for this, however, and it typically takes
between 20 minutes and two hours, depending on your activity, for any drift to
become apparent. And if it does become apparent, don’t worry. Sensor
recalibration is incredibly user friendly. In order to fix any drift issues that
might arise, all you have to do is hold a straight pose while pressing a single
button.

¹ The precision of SlimeVR and HaritoraX tracking technology depends on your
setup, on the plane used for measurement, and on how your back bends.
² AprilTag requires additional waist tracker with a phone or other tracking
technology (has reliable 180° coverage without).


AVAILABLE TRACKER SETS

The base set of five trackers is sufficient to cover lower-body movement (legs
and waist) and is widely supported by VR games and applications. However, with
SlimeVR you can customise your experience in VRChat, NeosVR and LIV to track
specific movements, allowing you to finely track the bones you want with
additional trackers allowing you to track feet, knees, elbows, chest and more!
Tracker Extensions are smaller, auxiliary trackers without batteries or Wi-Fi
capability. They connect to a primary tracker by means of a wire and provide a
simple, comfortable way to add additional tracking points.



The table below illustrates how different sets of SlimeVR trackers can be used
in games and sowftware games and software that support 11-point tracking (like
VRChat, NeosVR or LIV) or six-point tracking (Blade and Sorcery and some other
games). It’s possible to change the layout and focus on what you’d need more,
for example, attaching trackers to elbows instead of feet. SlimeVR can also
partially mix and match with other tracking systems, like tracking lower body
with Vive trackers and elbows with SlimeVR.

¹ Hip tracker extension improves spine tracking, which greatly increases
precision while sitting or bending, especially in extreme poses.

Below is a video by ZRock35 that showcases tracking with different SlimeVR sets.
It’s also a good demo of how much better the tracking has become since the
campaign started!
