About this deal

I have never plugged in my v1 or v2 base stations to the computer via USB, there is no need to do that ever unless something goes really wrong. That also makes them different enough that newer devices (headsets, controllers, trackers) can use either one 1. You were asking about HTC's headset from Valve (even though they can use Valve's base stations which are same). powers the presence and immersion of room-scale, virtual reality by helping the VIVE Pro or VIVE Pro Eye headsets and controllers track their exact locations. I just put up a brand new one last night, and will use the phone app to put them to sleep, but keep them plugged in.

Firstly Steam VR says "Bluetooth isn't available" and then EVEN WHEN I PLUG IN MY BASE STATION STEAM VR DOESN'T DETECT IT, YET WINDOWS DOES? The HTC VIVE base station is used in combination with a SteamVR VR set, such as the HTC VIVE, VIVE Pro (2) and Valve Index. Ideal height at least 2 meters from the ground with an angle of 25 to 35 degrees ( wall/ceiling mount/ foot/ ball head tripod). My 2080ti just died(I purchased a 2080ti from someone who sold it to me for a few hundred bucks because he got a 3000 series card. Some lamp that can be dimmed cause problems too, if they use pulse width modulation (PWM) for adjustment.

enhances the presence and immersion of virtual reality at room scale by helping headsets and controllers track their exact location.

The real advantage comes if you're doing any sort of commercial application (arcades, trade shows, ect.is a high-precision tracking solution designed for Valve Index, VIVE Pro Eye, VIVE Pro, and VIVE Pro 2 headsets and controllers. From what I understand now(that I didn't before), is that the incompatibility comes when trying to use 1.

Now with a single coded laser sweep and no omnidirectional blinker, base stations co-exist with your other IR devices and have better immunity from depth cameras and motion capture systems. Base stations don't need connection to PC, you just put them to your room and turn them on, that's it. I got a 6 year old at home and a house cat, but I have sort of a man cave of a room in the house that I game in. Unlike most of the reviews I've read, I was lucky for mine to come with the standard AU power connector and mounting kit.base stations from Vive Pro, but those are exactly same as Index base stations, SteamVR's system reports says that they are "Device X - Base Station Valve SR Valve Corporation". Base stations are passive tracking references, they will only show up in your status window if something connected to your PC is using it for tracking. Founded in 1992 to target the emerging mobile computing market, Clove Technology has grown and adapted into what you see today. Partnering with a team so dedicated, adaptable, and solution-oriented was vital to the success of our project. powers the presence and immersion of room-scale, virtual reality by helping the Vive Pro or Vive Pro eye headsets and Controllers track their exact locations.

For the most part, the playspace size gets way more attention from in-home users than I think it warrants because almost no VR content is optimized for playspaces above 4x4m outside of the arcade space. It's about the same although if you use more than 2 stations, you're risk of tracking loss from occlusion is lower. I suspect my issue is that I’m unplugging them when not in use, though not sure why one seems to handle it just fine, but killed 3 others inside a month. Rotate the angle of the cameras to the left or right to fine-tune the setting and fully cover the desired play area.

Valve Index Base Stations are not compatible with the original standard edition of HTC Vive products. I actually contacted HTC Vive Live Chat Support and they told me to manually update it with lighthouse_tx_htc_2_0-calibration-rescue-244. tracks the headsets' and controllers' exact locations to help immerse you in the virtual experience. I bought it in addition to the two existing stations so that I had better coverage in unusual locations. Fun fact: I actually bought a house in-Denver based on the fact that it had a room that was perfect for VR.
