HOLOGATE/HGXR Integrates VIVE Ultimate Trackers

HGXR, HOLOGATE’s training and simulation division, is set to harness the full potential of the new VIVE Ultimate Trackers by incorporating them into its immersive media solutions.

According to HOLOGATE/HGXR, one of the key benefits of the VIVE Ultimate Trackers is their utilization of computer vision and two high field-of-view onboard cameras for high-performance positional tracking. Computer vision eliminates the need to be seen by a headset or external sensors, facilitating an easy setup and enabling the addition of peripherals to single or multiuser virtual experiences. No base stations also mean a much larger free-roam VR supported area.

XR training demands high-frequency hands-on time with professional tools to enhance performance and achieve desired outcomes. By integrating VIVE Ultimate Trackers, HGXR believes it will empower users facing high-risk situations to train effectively with real-world tools as part of their training and simulation solutions.

Some of the key features of the VIVE Ultimate Tracker include:

Full Body Tracking: Capture full-body movement with up to five trackers and two controllers or VIVE Wrist Trackers per headset.

Object Tracking: Track real-world objects on headsets to enhance the realism of the training experiences.

Long Range Connectivity: The tracker shares data using wireless communication at long range, providing flexibility in XR training environments.

Leif Petersen, HOLOGATE/HGXR CEO and Founder, commented: “With the VIVE Ultimate Tracker, we are ushering in a new era of full-body XR experiences for entertainment and enterprise. These innovative trackers require no additional sensors, feature a user-friendly quick-swap design, and boast extended battery life for all-day use.

“Not only are they efficient and cost-effective, but they also significantly expand the range of possibilities and use cases for our systems. In fact, they enable seamless integration of additional peripherals and guarantee a multi-use XR experience in every conceivable area.

With VIVE's cutting-edge technology, our immersive extended reality turnkey solutions for entertainment and enterprise are going truly next level."
