Frequently-Asked Questions

Somatic VR is a company dedicated to creating affordable and high-quality full-body tracking solutions for virtual reality enthusiasts. Our flagship product, the Orion Trackers, offers precise motion tracking to enhance your VR experience.

Each tracker is able to precisely measure its rotation. When at least 5 trackers are calibrated to your waist, thighs, and ankles, then the SlimeVR server uses your proportions and headset position to calculate your joints, and trackers position using this info.
More trackers = more points of rotation measured = more realistic movements!

The core tracking technology in the Core and Pro versions is exactly the same. The Core set comes with five individual trackers that attach to your waist, knee, and ankle to capture the movement of your lower body.
The Pro set comes with five additional trackers that attach to your elbows, feet, and chest.
The Core set is for someone dipping their toe into full body tracking while the Pro set is for someone looking for the maximum immersion possible!

IMU stands for Inertial Measurement Unit. The IMU measures rotation of a given device to keep it properly oriented.
Orion Trackers utilize the BNO085 which is one of the highest quality IMUs available to consumers today. The higher the quality of an IMU, the better the tracking accuracy for longer periods of time.
