Add extra infrared LED to improve tracking for large arms in VR

[jsaltosimsa]

Hello everyone,

We are experiencing tracking issues with people with large arms when using a VR project developed with Unity.
When their arms are extended then hand tracking is lost at some point.
We think that maybe adding an extra infrared LED attached to the HMD could improve the tracking.

Do you know if this could be useful? What kind of extra infrared LED could we add?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Joel

Unfortunately this would not work as a solution, since the Leap Motion Controller is designed for its cameras and LEDs to work closely in tandem. Our upcoming hardware solutions should be able to resolve this problem more effectively, along with pushing beyond other limitations such as field-of-view.

Hi, I am experiencing some tracking issue of my own. I heard that the Xtal headset has newer version of LM in it and that the tracking is way better unfortunately it's not possible to buy that. Is this upcoming hardware related to the one in Xtal? Could you share something more about it?

The XTAL headset does have our wider field-of-view modules built in, which does allow for a wider field-of-view and includes high-resolution cameras.
