⚠ *Important Notice!* ⚠ ⚪ Get BMI160 instead of MPU6050! They drift significantly less, at the same price, and are the recommended option! ⚪ Tracking has improved since this video, as I was affected by a bug that introduced slight delay and jitter
Can confirm, used bmi160 for months now, they are awesome, you can now have prediction for basic movements and smoothing for dancing. AND yes i put my trackers in the fridge (temperature calibration optional for bmi160 check the wiki if you don't believe me), and it improved the already little drifting problem, so i recommend you do it as well.
@@logono9414 iirc most people go about 25 minutes on average, but it depends on what you're doing. If you're sitting completely still, you could probably get passable result for upwards of an hour using drift compensation.
Non-base station FBT is looking better and better every year. SlimeVR along with HaritoraX and Stonx all look really good, though it’s unfortunate that all three still can’t be purchased and received within a few weeks unless you make your own.
They all use the same chips affected by chip shortage unfortunately. I'd suggest steering clear from HaritoraX or Mocopi. Both SlimeVR and StonX are good however
@@AzeShorts I’ve already pre-ordered the HaritoraX 1.1 and I’m satisfied with HaritoraX’s performance in general. I only picked it due to it shipping the soonest. I’ll likely replace it near the end of the year when SlimeVR/Stonx might be more readily available though.
@@SR_Pleiades Everyone I've met who had one has thought it was pretty jank, so unless it ships that soon I'd try preordering stonx/slime. Stonx should ship fairly soon afaik
@@AzeShorts Have you tried Mocopi? I was curious since they're so lightweight and made by a major company. Not standing up well to the other IMU solutions I take it?
@@TayoEXE I haven't tried it myself, but my friend Zrock has. It's pretty garbage as of now. They're gonna need a lot of software improvements to get anywhere with it
Looks freaking amazing! The wait will have been worth it, I'm looking forward to when the slimes ship! I'm also VERY glad I chose the 7+3 option when I ordered, despite VRChat not supporting elbow tracking at the time
I ordered a few months ago and I get it next month but I was having doubts recently so I'm really happy this showed up on my feed, bonus that I also wear spartan avi's so I'm genuinely hyped.
hey just to let you know for the IMU you really should buy the BMI160's as they are around the same price and ALOT better than the MPU6050 (main difference being the time before having to recalibrate is alot longer for the BMI160s which is very good)
Good thing you mention that. Although the reset time isn't the "Main" difference. It's the ENTIRE difference as tracking quality is same-same. But 10-20m reset is loads better than 5-10, so I advise *EVERYONE* to go with BMI160's instead of MPU6050's!
Sad that the official trackers are plagued by delays that are out of their control due to war in Ukraine and general chip shortage. But we are so close. So looking forward to finally move my legs and talk to people using my full body. And VR raves that I'm visiting weekly are gonna be so much more fun. Envy the people in the first batch that are gonna get theirs in a month or 2. I'm hoping to get mine in June.
It’s a scam bro 😂 they been supposed to release the trackers WELL before the war in Ukraine and logistically , the war in Ukraine wouldn’t have affected it all, in the early stages. That being said, you can still ship to other countries and get it sent to America lol . They’re scamming y’all . Glad I didn’t buy
Some bad looking full body could also be caused by a disproportionate avatar. Make sure your avatars superset body measurements (forearm length, shoulder height, thing and shin length, etc) believe me, it can make a world of difference
Thrills video is horribly outdated, nowadays the setup is far more simple. Despite that keep in mind its still in active development. Setup should be extremely user friendly within the next months as that's when official slimes that shipping out
When it comes to drift, there is now a really cool solution that those working on SlimeVR made to reset your trackers. Now you can tap any one of your trackers to reset their position which is very convenient.
Whole different league, yet I still have my kinect up on my shelf just for how convenient it can be for instantly hopping on and off vr. Although, these trackers are giving it *a hard time*
I personally built 5+3 set of bmi 160 slime trackers and I 100% think it is worth it. the value incentive is just unmatched compared to vive trackers as those just straight up are not an option price wise for me. It cost me just under 100$ with accounting for tools like a soldering iron so as long as you have freetime for building it is definitely a valid option over vive trackers
@@Aezeus. Literally whats happening to me right now. Always dreamed of getting slimes instead of using my Kinect One, but realized DIYing slimes are wayyyy better.
its amazing how far slimevr tracking correction has come compared to other budget IMU's like mocopi and stonx. It just shows how much the software can improve things despite the hardware being on the cheaper side.
Oh yeah, it's absolutely all about the software. Cheap or expensive IMUs doesn't really matter as they both have the same "tracking quality" How you handle the data matters a lot more
these trackers are great for an alternative small light tracker for if youre not dancing and really dont need laser presicion tracking but rather just laying down getting comfy under a blanket chilin or watching a movie with friends (and at the cheap price you could also have 11 point tracking for some acitivites that dont require THAT much movement if you get my drift)
They've finally got supply of chips foe the first and second batch they've been waiting for since the inception of the project, so it's just around the corner
They require you to have a 2.4GHz wifi connection. Internet speeds don't matter at all, and data bandwidth needed is low because they're just sending a bunch of numbers over the connection. What matters however is low latency and good signal between you and the router
Yeah it'll work fine. It does take a while for them to ship due to the global chip shortage making it take ages for them to get their parts, patience is key, but if that's not your thing you can either make them yourself or buy them from anyone willing to build you a set in the discord server
wow mbi160? I will definitely make a build with it, I saw people with very strange tracking using the 6050 and 160 and it made me take away the idea of spending more than €130 on components. But yours is definitely very solid! Fantastic video thank you!
It's usually really really old software or a world running at 5fps. Or all of the above that makes those vids happen. Definitely go with BMI160s, they drift less than MPUs
@@Aezeus. And how much time is lost from when you propose to play and activate the FBT in vrchat?, like opening the program, clicking or calibrating. until you can finally start playing, 10 minutes of preparation for each vrchat session? I was considering going for Vive because of the simplicity/speed to start playing, but obviously the price is difficult hahaha so slimevr seems to be fine, but I still don't know how long it takes to start each game session uwu
@@JuanraYellowMeh something like 5 minutes. What takes the longest is putting on all my trackers. Could use less and get in faster, but I'd rather have proper 11 point
For best functionality you need to be running VRChat through SteamVR on a computer. You can use these trackers on quest vrchat as long as you've got some kind of pc to run the slime software. Other than that these things just work with a simple setup
I see. Im planning on 3 on body (chest-waist-hip) cos im a big chubby chunky guy XD And i think that 2 in front and 1on spine/hip will better track my bodyshapes.
It won't make sense, you need to be facing straight, if it does it automatically it'd calibrate your "forwards" to be when you aren't facing forwards. I have the worst sensors though. On the current recommended ones for DIY, it's closer to every 30 minutes. On official slimes using BNO chips, it's hours
Floaty? what lol. Not sure how you get that. Are vive trackers floaty then. It's not even remotely floaty if you run with extrapolation instead of the smoothing I was using lol. But yeah 130$ is 11 Point, a more basic set is closer to 60-70$
@@Aezeus. mmmh well with floaty I mean like the feet kinda float on te ground sometimes, not sure how to explain it properly. but then again for 100buckaroos you can't complain
@@pixel6580 Ah, in that way. This used to be a big issue with slime but has been fixed with a feature that locks your feet to the ground when needed. It can work better than what's shown in the video as it turns out I had some settings for that a bit off. Gonna update in the future, but it's generally pretty alright but not perfect.
Oh my god. Thank you so so SO much for uploading this video. There hasn't been any stuff posted on yt about slime vr for a while, so this was super helpful!!
Just buy the parts for them and solder your own pieces. You can get the parts for 3+3 trackers for like 50€, including straps and some optional things like diodes and resistors.
I'm going to buy the enhanced core set but my only issue is wifi... i'm sure I have 2.4ghz, but there is going to be 2 PCs that are both kind of beefy, 2 mobile phones, and 2 headsets connected via wifi 24/7. i'm afraid that with 8 trackers and 6 devices connected that it won't function well, but i could just be stupid LOL. Do you think i'd have issues?
You should be fine, trackers don't send much data, latency is the only concern so making sure you get a good signal. Basically, you should be fine, if you aren't somehow get some super cheap router to plug into your pc and the main router
So, I've had my trackers for about a month now and did end up having to buy a router and use a hotspot but by far my favorite purchase i've ever made, I love my trackers lol @@Aezeus.
I've always been able to afford them, could buy multiple sets and enough basestations to cover a mansion. I've just never bought any because imo they're too expensive to justify it
@@Aezeus. I absolutely agree with that, they are preventing fbt from becoming widely popular by making it overpriced and inaccessible for most, can’t even imagine how much their newest self tracking tracker will cost
It sure ain't gonna be cheap. Imo Mocopi falls right into the same bucket. Telling people 450$ is "Cheap" fullbody is just... Wrong, but also makes people believe they can't have it cheaper. Which just ain't right as IMUs are like a few $ a piece
@@Aezeus. aww, alright i’ll check it out. Thank you for replying! Oh also thanks for this video made me confident on my decision on which to buy. Cheers ✌🏼
I'm a VR noob but am interested in mocap. SlimeVR does not require a typical base station, but still requires a headset, right? (and controllers?) Any way to avoid this? Or any suggestions for a cheap headset to get slime going, knowing that I wouldn't actually use it for VR stuff? This is super exciting...!! Real-time mocap, and way better than Kinects. And since it's open-source I could maybe code a way to stream the data into 3D software. so dope
SlimeVR has come a long way; don't need a headset anymore, and the server can now output VMC so you can use the VMC4B plugin for Blender to stream tracker data for mocap. Made myself a set of 17. I'm pretty happy after initial tests, and I haven't even messed with the body proportions yet!
Great question. In my case due to my set being made with very cheap IMUs, I have to correct drift every 5-20 minutes as shown in the video. (This isn't an issue with official slimes or better IMUs) It's not horrible, but definitely not as convenient being able to set them and forget them. Next disadvantage which is rapidly becoming non-existent towards release is: To get accurate tracking, the body proportions set in Slime need to be correct. The current auto calibration is good but not perfect, there's a bit of tinkering with settings. Despite the downsides, I do think the upsides speak for themselves. 30h battery life, 130$ for 11 point. Way better than I expected it to be, and I have no regretd
I know it has nothing to do with the video, I apologize in advance, but it is possible that you can tell me the model of the avatar at minute 1:17, I would appreciate it a lot
At the time of buying the only other option was using BNOs which are x25 times as expensive. But nowadays BMI160s which barely cost much more are a better bet for sure
@@jan_Sanku The tracking points you get isn't the same as the amount of trackers. Slime tracks position by taking the rotation of two points, and the length of the limb in between them to estimate the positions of the two points. With a 7 + 3 set you have trackers on: Elbows, Chest, Waist, Knees, Ankles, Feet. 1x head 2x hands 2x elbow points 1x chest + 1x waist 2x knees 2x feet = 11 points

So u use a waist tracker but no hip tracker? Does that give u more accurate movements than just using the hip instead?
I use chest + hip. Said waist in thr vid, which can also be used, but you get less hip moves
one question i have, do these transmit their own connection, or do they require you to have good wifi and go through that

Is there any way to pair this with a VR locomotion software sort of like the Kat Loco S? Where you can run in place and that translates into the game?
You can get a kat loco s seperately and use it for locomotion in addition to slimes. Would be more stuff strapped to you, but it should work.
I have one more question, is it the 7x 3x set in the video? Will it be the same as I bought the 5x3x set?
It's a 7+3 set. 5+3 is essentially the same without elbows. Elbows aren't that necessary though

I know it has nothing to do with the video, I apologize in advance, but it is possible that you can tell me the model of the avatar at minute 1:17, I would appreciate it a lot
I don't have access to it anymore, don't remember the name unfortunately
Isn't having to undrift every 5 minutes annoying enough to warrant a slightly higher cost?
At the time of buying the only other option was using BNOs which are x25 times as expensive. But nowadays BMI160s which barely cost much more are a better bet for sure
@@Aezeus. oh cool, thanks for letting me know!
im new i need help !!
Why'd you block me on discord?
Idk you
@@Aezeus. I'm Ashley I used to play vrc with you
@@Aezeus. I tried to message you but it said you blocked me
@@Kilakinaa I don't have you blocked
@@Aezeus. I’m ashlehhz on vrc
ahhh 60fps :)
I have standards *salute*
i am one of those who has very wanky tracking
7+3=...11?
"x point tracking" is how many tracking points (including headset and controllers) you end up with.
@@Aezeus. right i understand that. you already have 3 without fbt, but 7+3 is 10, so how is the result 11?
@@jan_Sanku The tracking points you get isn't the same as the amount of trackers. Slime tracks position by taking the rotation of two points, and the length of the limb in between them to estimate the positions of the two points. With a 7 + 3 set you have trackers on:
Elbows, Chest, Waist, Knees, Ankles, Feet.
1x head
2x hands
2x elbow points
1x chest + 1x waist
2x knees
2x feet
= 11 points
@@Aezeus. oh i see, thank you!
Why would anyone want this. Its ok if its for mocap for film making.
You sound like someone who hasn't had a virtual fully mocap-ed bitchfight with the homies
