Vive Unity motion cancellation

IMO Motion cancellation in Unity with access to all the API' should not be that hard (Gruden and others have already done it for their simulators), its just getting sim game developers to agree that it is worth implementing.

Is the program VR headway the same as this? Plz Google it

Hmmm how many unity games do we actually play in VR with motion ?

LOL that was a proper politicians answer @noorbeast that did not answer my question at all so I can only presume there are none on our list that uses unity

So have all the supported games incorporated the Motion Systems SDK to make this happen?

Maybe we are looking at this in the wrong way.. If software like 'RiviveInjector' can be produced, then creating a similar 'compatibility/conversion layer' should be possible to offset the required data from the BMI055 6-axis Inertial Sensor - with another sensor mounted to the Simulation rig. Not saying it is possible, but maybe worth a look. Must investigate further when I have some time.

Hi all. New guy here and came here just for this. I want to build a motion rig and have the Vive but subtracting the motion platform movement/position is key to making it work.

I don't know if that BMI055 inertial sensor would work since it would have the same drift issues over time and that would need to be corrected the same way the headsets use optical tracking to correct their inertial sensors - I think.

But the Vive Tracker is available now and that's a 1/4-20 bolt-on and provides optically-corrected position the same way the headset and controllers do.

The advantage of the Rift is that the camera can be mounted on the rig to mostly null out platform movement though inertial may still be there between optical updates? Anyway, with the Vive Tracker it would seem all that we would need is a simple subtract between headset and tracker done in the SteamVR driver before the headset position is passed to whatever app people are running to completely null out platform motion. If Valve gave us the ability to designate a Tracker as a position to be subtracted from all headset positions, and possibly even other controllers depending on if those were to be used in the cockpit too, it would seem like that is all we would really need and all VR apps would automatically be motion platform compatible.

Am I missing something? I'm just getting into motion and haven't got the experience you guys do. Been thinking about it a lot, though, and it seems all we need is SteamVR letting us subtract out a tracker to null the motion of whatever it's attached to.

Does that sound right? Does anyone know or has anyone contacted Valve to see if they would be willing to add that capability? I would think if that is the way to go, that it should be them that does it so it persists through all revisions, etc, and would just be an additional menu item in the devices menu?

What do you guys think?

Hey Noorbeast, I looked at that thread and am not sure if they were talking about this situation with a tracker affixed to a platform. I may have misunderstood but it seemed like they were talking about a more general thing? But just that traveltrousers can do it in Unity really bodes well that Valve could formalize it in SteamVR.

I think if they let us designate a tracker as a reference that has its position always subtracted from the headset and any other controllers that are set to be normalized, it should work? I'm going to ask them anyway. Worst they can say is no.

As is now, though, I think not being able to null out seat motion really puts the Vive at a disadvantage for motion rig use. But if it can be done, everything that would otherwise work with SteamVR and a stationary seat would also work with a motion platform if there is provision/a plugin for driving motion.

Who knows?

would this be useful?

Ahh! fantastic! Thankyou for the link @noorbeast .. I'm noob....putting together my own system to develop with Unity
