IMU or Vive?

Question

Been finally looking again at making the jump into FBT and im at kind of a crossroads not sure if its more worth getting Vive trackers or an IMU solution like SlimeVR (I use a Quest 3 but exclusively PCVR

Vive Trackers

Pros: Already have base stations from my vive, accurate, only need 3
Cons: Big ass mirrored sliding closet in my office I would have to cover, mounting base stations to the wall, hear mixed reviews on how well they work with a quest 3 headset

IMU (SlimeVR)
Pros: No base stations, smaller (the new slimevr ones look super cool), tracking without line of sight.
Cons: Shipping time, calibration drift, more stuff to put on.

Answer 1

TBH i had no issues with vive caring about reflective surfaces. I dont think everyone has that issue with the mirrors/tvs.

Slimes drift, but i hear the newer slimes arnt that bad, depending upon which board you get.

Reach out to Rekka! He uses his slimes every day!
