I want to create a new VR controller
TL;DR Is it possible to make controllers for VR (oculus quest) using IR LEDs for tracking?
I want to develop complementary tools (controllers, etc) for que oculus quest 2. I know that they use IR to track the current controllers, so I am wondering if in UNITY I can do track of other IR sources.
IE: a mechanical keyboard that can be connected to Bluetooth and can be tracked by 4 IR leds
for context: My background is in electronics, i have a IoT development startup and want to build hardware for VR.
- f0e4c2f7 5y agoYou can do a version of this today with vive trackers[0] but that wouldn't work with the quest. There probably is a way though. I've generally found the VR space to be more hackable than I expected so far. Both in software and hardware. The most interesting experimental VR controller I know of at this point is the prototype developed by Lucas VRTech[1]. Starting with his discord might lead in interesting directions.
