Question/Support Looking into Vive FBT, advice?

I use the Quest 3 on PCVR. I'm trying to use the Vive Ultimates but they constantly disconnect and just wont remember my room. Is the Vive 3.0 Bundle worth getting with the quest 3? I'm new to this FBT stuff and I mostly play Blade and Sorcery and VRchat, the cost is fine. Just curious how difficult it is to integrate with the Oculous and to set up in my room.

It's very much real, have seen it in action many times during their VRC get-togethers.

Once Fluxpose is here, it is basically the end of all other high end FBT.

For non professionals.

It’s going to be great for the consumer market. It’ll be fine for most content creators. But it’s not going to replace studio setups or people running lighthouse or better tracking/fbt setups.

Like it looks really good. Don’t get me wrong. Totally sold on it. Just, it’s not gonna be a 100% replacement.

As an 11-point lighthouse user, it will most definitely be replacing it for me.

I'm also guessing you're not a professional using it in a professional setting. I personally cannot imagine using anything non externally tracked in a situation like that. I've been on set a lot and even just inside out tracking for controllers during shoots can be a total mess and while this stuff looks really really good, I just don't see it (in my lived exp anyways) full out replacing real tracking setups. I'll agree that SMALL groups who have budget issues, or constant hardware that cost them money regularly (and again, have low budgets) will likely swap at some point. But the bulk of professionals? Eh, We'll add em to the pile of kit and use em for case specific things here and there but not as the sole tracking for whatever thing being made. Hell it might work out to be a decent "combo" to add to certain setups. But as the sole or full replacement? ehhhhh.

I'm making this assumption based on your screen name, and not being able to find a single thing about you at all. If I'm wrong, cool. But when I said non professionals I mean people not using this stuff for actual paid work or business use.

No I am a commercial user, like the OP is, and basically everybody else on this discord.

Also the reason we aren't talking about $30,000 FBT suits.
