Whilst the first part of this article looked at the history of the HTC Vive Tracker and its three different versions, the second part will focus on some practical experiments with the latest HTC Vive Tracker 3.0. HTC Vive Tracker 3.0
The hardware consisted of blue HTC Vive Pros connected to the gaming PCs above. The HTC Vive Pros were tethered, so there was no latency but the game did have a peculiar dense, dreamlike aspect to it, which often stems from lower refresh rates. Perhaps more like 60fps or 45fps with reprojection to 90hz?
Some solutions even use accessories to deepen the immersion, such as haptic feedback systems and spatial audio. Now, innovators have transformed virtual reality experiences with low-latency software and upgraded hardware. Some simulators even use haptic feedback to give you the feel of being in a vehicle.
At E3 2016 I got to see the latest prototype version of Gloveone, a haptic motion input glove designed for virtual reality. The latency of the input was also quite impressive. The haptics on the Gloveone prototype were functional but didn’t quite sell me on the sensation.

HTC Vive celebrates the holidays giving 100% rev share to developers. But the same sense of amazement doesn’t hold for VR.
The suite of HTC Vive-compatible mini-games primarily acts as a showcase for the company’s GPU-based physics systems, wrapping in a number of visual effects available through the GamesWorks SDK. VR Funhouse, Nvidia’s physics sandbox revealed alongside the GeForce GTX 1080 in May, is coming to Steam this month for free.
The technology of the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are incredible, but the ability to traverse a physical space, receive haptic feedback from NPC’s and interact with a physical environment is just too mind-blowing to compete with. This was genuinely the most exciting piece of interactive technology i’ve used in the last couple of years.
This includes a low-power mode that enables hand tracking to run with reduced power consumption and a high-performance mode that delivers accurate finger mapping with low latency when computer processing power is unrestricted. I wonder if VR remains one of its most important use cases.
XCOM’s waveband is a low-latency wireless system that allows worksites to commit to digital transformation by building the infrastructure required to deliver real-time 3D content (RT3D) to augmented, virtual, and mixed reality (AR/VR/MR) wearables. The San Diego-based company also supports industry 4.0
We know that now with the Oculus Touch and the HTC Vive, but even when VR was simply a screen strapped to your head many felt that hands were the future. Up until that point, there was still some motion latency in VR, so you never felt completely attached to the actions in your hands.
You can be a lot more expressive within social VR, and in mixed reality experiences where passive haptic feedback is available, having your hands tracked can actually increase the level of embodied presence. And I also experienced a lot more than 20ms of latency in my finger movements, which was a presence breaker.
It essentially comprises VR headsets, smart glasses, and haptic technologies that where users can navigate digital worlds. It requires a 5G capable infrastructure to increase network capacity and decrease network congestion and latency. The seventh consists of technologies that make previous ideas a reality. Closing thoughts.
The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Tactile feedback. Next up is the bodysuit.
There are several companies tackling this issue from several directions, Zero Latency , for example, provides large warehouse-scale spaces to run around in, while Virtuix compacts the experience via its omnidirectional treadmills and VR Arena. Called Mission Modules, 6 are designed to work in one area.
Developed by Nvidia’s Lightspeed Studios and built for the HTC Vive, the aim of VR Funhouse is to demonstrate the potential power of virtual reality and motion controls when the experience is driven by their new lines of Pascal GPUs – the GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080.
Dexta believe that this advanced form of haptic feedback encapsulates a next step in the VR experience. Arguably, that next advance will probably involve input.

This includes the Meta Quest 2 as well as PC VR headsets such as the Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Rift S just to name a few.
According to the company, the added latency for wireless communication is just 3ms. Zero Latency ditches backpack PCs in its VR arcade to use Vive Focus 3. Youtuber Cai VR has made its own haptic vest for VRChat. The expected field of view is around 40° , like the previous models… not enough to guarantee real usability.
VR fitness game HitMotion: Reloaded has just added support for LIV and bHaptics suit , and it is a total blast with haptic feedback! HTC is probably going to announce a new standalone headset this week. We all know that HTC is hosting an event inside the social VR platform ENGAGE and that it is going to announce a new product.
Truly next-gen VR (featuring a fantastic display and very wide FOV, varifocal resolution, eye tracking, haptics controllers, etc…) will take many years to realize. If you think about it, in the last period, the great years that we remember for headsets are 2016 (Rift CV1, HTC Vive) and 2019 (Oculus Quest, Valve Index).
I’ve also seen an HTC Vive sold off-the-shelf in a tech shop). Full body haptics? The Potato 9000 headset immediately shown its most important features: – Cheap LCD display; – Motion to photon latency that was super-high; – No integrated audio. All big malls have at least a VR station, that’s true.
HTC has sold an estimated 100k Vives. VR faces many challenges when approaching content creation: latency, SIM sickness, limitations in tools available for building, high expense, lack of vernacular/rules, and very little monetary return on investment. UnlimitedHand – Armband Haptic Sensor. VR Consumption, 2016.
According to Ars Technica , the frames don’t get sent as a whole, but in little horizonal slices there are continuously streamed, so that to reduce a lot the perceived latency. There is a bit of latency (80ms) and it can be perceived. A frame of the presentation where Oculus explained the compression method of the Oculus Link.
Getting a top tier VR headset into your household is currently an expensive feat whether you’re interested in the full experiences the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift provide or even the slightly more accessible PS VR.
Oculus and HTC had been holding details surrounding Rift and Vive launch windows close to the chest, probably because they had delays to announce and need to nail down new plans. First, HTC delays the Vive until April 2016, with plans to show an updated developer kit at CES in January. In December, these plans become known. April 2016.
This idea is used in mainline Quests, Pico headsets, Valve Index, HP Reverbs, Oculus Go, and the original Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. It remains rock solid with no perceptible jitter, latency, or drift. The most impressive new feature is the new haptic system. It crushes the sinuses under your lower forehead and cheeks.
In the near field, Quest even uses positional tracking so that your head can translate through this reprojected view before the next camera frame is even available to minimize perceived latency. The streaming quality is excellent and the latency feels lower than any wireless remote desktop I’ve ever tried.
The Void is different compared to companies like Zero Latency, who just have the backpack, and multiple players involved in game narrative. Now, you mentioned feeling haptics, spatial audio, graphics scent. You could also say the say of HTC. This is putting a backpack on and traversing through an environments.
