Connecting a Vive Tracker 3.0

How-To
1

Can somebody help connecting a Vive Tracker 3.0?

I have STEAMVR1.13.9 installed and the tracker is paired. In notch the VR Controller Node is connected to the root and Vive Tracker 1 as Controller ID.

I tried connecting a Shape 3D as a Child and an extractor Node but no positional data seems to be captured. Also in the CR Controller Node the positional data is just zero.

Is there some setting oder workaround I missed? Thanks in advance.

Hey Thomas,

We support what SteamVR sends, so it’s odd that you’re not able to get any positional data.

We haven’t updated our VR protocols since the Vive/Rift era - so more recent equipment like the Tracker 3.0 may have some fault working with Builder.

Have you followed the manual?

“For both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, a VR Headset must be connected for the controller to be available to Notch.”
This may be the cause of your issues. Let us know!
