OSC Hand Tracking Module
We could use the hand tracking sensors in the Varjo to create a Hand Tracking Module and send hand positional data to VRChat via OSC
VRChat 2022.4.1p3 (build 1263) Features:
-
VRChat now offers support for receiving tracker data over OSC with our existing calibrated full-body IK system!
- Using an external program, you can read tracking data from any hardware you can think of, handle that data, and then transmit it to VRChat using a set of OSC endpoints.
- This works with any avatar. This system is separate from the OSC parameters system, so you don't have to customize your avatar to work with it.
- Using the OSC Trackers system, you can enable Full Body Tracking on the Meta Quest! To reiterate, you will need a tracking system (such as SlimeVR trackers, Perception Neuron, Kinect, Webcam pose estimation, etc.) and a program running on a computer that reads the data from the tracking system and sends it to VRChat.
- SlimeVR has been working on implementing this system, and we expect more programs to appear over time utilizing the OSC Tracker system to enable more hardware.
- If you'd like to implement your own system, see our docs for how to implement tracker data from an OSC sender app: https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/osc-trackers
