OptiTrack with custom HMD

Post by axteroide »

Hi!

So I'm trying to have OptiTrack working with a custom HMD but in Motive I can't even create the HMD in the Builder panel (Create button is just deactivated), and I'm not sure if it requires an Oculus or Vive HMD connected or if I'm doing something wrong.
Would be possible to create the HMD Rigidbody for a custom HMD, or should I just use a common Rigidbody?

Thank you.

Hi axteroide,

Motive will only let you create an HMD if you are using our active HMD clips. For your custom HMD you will need to create a normal Rigid Body.

Best,
Steven

Hi axteroide,

Did you find a solution to this? OpenVR seems not beeing able to stream the image to the HMD. Would be great to here if you were able to manage this! Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Chris
