WMR-and-Vive-Tracker VS vr

OK so theoretically If I bought a HP Reverb G2 I can just put the lighthouse tracking part of the VIVE onto the front (with velcro or something) and then plug that in via the USB? I've found this page so I assume thats what they mean. I'm not going to buy anything yet because I am still hoping the Arpara 5K comes which has built in SteamVR tracking. After taking one of these headsets apart the actual nuts and bolts parts aside from the PCB itself seem very trivial. I wonder if DIY kits that had a PCB with Display Port 2.0 in would be something people would consider. Its surprising more good headsets don't come out.

So basically I've bolted a Vive Tracker to the Reverb G2 and have used SteamVR's TrackingOverrides config to override HMD position with the tracker positioning. So basically using this setup: https://github.com/Yersi88/WMR-and-Vive-Tracker

There is a way to do this. Details are in the github here: https://github.com/Yersi88/WMR-and-Vive-Tracker

(If Not) Is there any updated method besides the ones mentioned below:https://github.com/Yersi88/WMR-and-Vive-Trackerhttps://github.com/capilus/HP-Reverb-G2-index-Controller-HTC-vive-tracker-Working-native-Open-VR

You can also attach a tracker to the headset itself, but that caused jitter for me. Seems to work for some people. Details and software are here

I use the lighthouse keeper executable from MixedVR Manager with a bat script for starting them:

I'm curious what you mean by MixedVR Manager is broken. After reading a lot of github it is sounding like the SteamVR room setup loop may be a bug / problem with OVR Advanced Settings...

And also setup GitHub - monstermac77/vr: This is a comprehensive guide to my VR setup, including descriptions of some VR concepts and phenomena.

I basically borrowed it from MixedVr Manager With ChangeScreenREsolution.exe

If you follow the setup guide to the letter - including the use of SteamVR chaperone instead of WMR bounds, you should have no issues. I manually turn power on to base stations and the HMD itself each time I play. HMD is plugged into USB-C/dport on RTX2080, no extension. Also, I do not use MixedVR Manager but do autorun a script closing Room Setup (at SteamVR launch).

I am at work at the moment so can’t get you a full step-by-step, but reading the release notes should hopefully help you for now: iirc you just need to run the uninstall script and it should make everything WMR side work as default.

Mixed VR manager has some software that lets your computer control the base-stations. IMO, the script was too restrictive for me, but it's easy to edit.

I'd recommend looking at the "Tracking" section of my vr repo: https://github.com/monstermac77/vr/#tracking, especially the last paragraph.
