Smaller trackers like the Tundra have less wobble and are recommended.

⚠️ Vive / Tundra trackers require at least 1 base station to function
(2-4 are recommended)

What setup do we recommend?
Tundra trackers or 3.0 Vive trackers are recommended
<aside>

</aside>
How many trackers do I actually need?
It’s up to you. But…
One waist and two feet trackers will give you good mocap tracking.
Buying additional trackers for your elbows, knees, and chest will give more natural results.
