Has anyone had any experience with these, low(er) cost alternative to the usual suspects.

Re: VR-Space Wintracker
I can't say that I have, however this website seems to give them a cost:

Re: VR-Space Wintracker
Yes I'd seen that price which is why it caught my interest.
As it's about half the cost of the anything similar I was wondering if anyone knew how it performed in use.

The problem with it that I can see is the update rate is very low when using more than a single tracker.
Might be ok for a pair of hands though, or even hands / body sensor.

Re: VR-Space Wintracker
It's the impact of multiple sensors that concerns me, for most applications I only think you need head and one hand tracked but all three would be great.WiredEarp wrote:The problem with it that I can see is the update rate is very low when using more than a single tracker.

It's the reality of those reduced updates that I would like to see and find out about but in practice they may be OK.

Re: VR-Space Wintracker
For the price, why not look into old Ascension or Polhemus systems instead? For example, TheLostBrain is selling a complete setup for $1000 I believe...

Re: VR-Space Wintracker
Not particularily interested in an old Flock of Birds, it's a bit of overkill for what I want and the sensor cube is huge.WiredEarp wrote:For the price, why not look into old Ascension or Polhemus systems instead? For example, TheLostBrain is selling a complete setup for $1000 I believe...
I already have three Polhemus InsideTrak devices, frequency modules and sensors along with a rather old Polhemus FastTrak. The InsideTraks would be ideal but they're all ISA bus devices and I'm not sure how they'd perform on the adapters you can buy.
Also what I have in mind would need to be repeatable (hopefully) so once I'd got past the development stage I'd need to be able to get new devices.
