New Motion Compensation OVRMC  

Hi Andrew,

great post, I will try this tool, even I do not have any issues with motion compensation anymore.

I've had in the past, as long both lighthouse sensors were alligned fasing each other.

But after thinking about lateral (angle) and logitudinal (distance) detection quality from movement of the rig ( tracker), I tried a more "offset" version of placement.

Now one is located in the front right corner (as before), pointing towards tracker, if rig is in parked position.

The other one was moved from rear left corner to almost middle of the left wall, also facing toward tracker in parked position.

The center lines of both lighthouse sensores are now more ore less mating at the tracker in an angle of 75° (+/-)

So any movement of the tracker will always be a combination of lateral (angle) and longitudinal (distance) detection.

Is is any different from the version we recommend? https://manual.fasetech.com/books/motion-compensation-%28valve-index-htc-vive-%29/page/motion-compensation-guide

Or any easier? I just need to install, choose the tracker and press motion compensation.

I will have to try it as soon as possible, always nice having alternatives. 

Remember placement of the light houses are the most important and having the tracker fastened as close to the HMD as possible. 

That's my mount. Right behind the head, with USB power.

Hi Steffen. It seems to allow some settings to allow for different scenarios, especially if the tracker is vibrating, it can be filtered.

I had quite a few issues recently with the original Emulator in that whenever i hit "Apply" it wouldn't engage. So it wasn't cancelling the motion and then the VR would bounce all over the place. Then you have to exit, restart, reload etc.

Since my Tracker and Lighthouses haven't moved I wasn't sure if it was something else.

The new OVRMC is a work in progress, and not perfect either. I've had a few times when it loses the tracker and resets mid race, which causes chaos. However I cant seem to replicate when it happens.

Give it a try when you can, and let us know what you think.

Sounds very cool, looking forward to being able to try it. 

I have had some strange issues as well, but most of the time a restart would do it. Are you using set zero? i recommend having it on default instead.

UPDATE: 

So I did some further testing and even went back to OPenVR to test it again. Had similar problems.

Seems my specific issue is because of my mounting of the Tracker. Its not as solid as Michaels and I also had Velcro Straps over it.

This seemed to be causing some of the "Flickering" in VR, probably from vibrations and movement of the Tracker.

Ive remounted using a Wrist Strap. This gives it full view of both Lighthouses. (Pic below)

HOWEVER, it still vibrates/moves a bit. This is where Ive found the new OVRMC to work really well.

Ive set LPF to 0,3 and EMA Samples to 30. This seems to allow for some movement, and there is Zero flickering on VR

If anything its another option for us to use.

Yes add a bungie cord and get that tracker embedded in  to the foam, don't be worried they are very strong.

See here

from 5.00 minutes that should help a lot.  

Im still using the Matazzman open vr, didn't like the other one.  

Due to last Steam VR update and motion compensation issues, I had more or less to change to OVRMC.

At start it was a bit odd, due to delayed compensation reaction whitch felt quite strange.

But playing around with settings resulted in a nice and precise compensation functionallity.

My settings are:

LPF beta = 1

DEMA =2

Hey.  I`m getting a bit of a drift with the OVRMC.  I`ll get on a straight away and I am no longer pointing straight in VR.  I had the best success with the OVR input emulator but after installing it I no longer see the icon in the VR set up screen.

any suggestions for settings for the OVRMC or getting the OVR input emulator working?

@7racer: I made a short video (it's the german language

menue, but shoult be clear anyway) where you can see:

a) my settings

b) how to enable OVRMC or OVR input emulator

Steam VR restart required

I do not have any issues, except once in a while to restart steam VR right after start, if OVRMC does not start.

Question: Is your tracker rigid enough or is it rotating a bit?

Michael

thanks! I didnt have any audio with that video for some reason and the screens were in a different language but I think I have what u are telling me.

Hi, well, there is no audio.

I do not know, why it is not possible to have both motion compensation add-ons at the same time on the main screen, but in the video you should see ow to change within.

Sadly, the video hides most of the text i wrote in the reply.
