Made improvements to the toe-tracking code, animation and hardware to further smooth out motions. Still need to streamline the wearable portion of it. Thanks to
@towneh
for help optimizing the tracking of the model
Love this on may levels:
1) Freedom to make your avatar exactly how you wish
2) Freedom to make your world exactly how you wish
3) Real community and real connection
4) Fun
5) Legs!
This is what an open ecosystem looks like!
Excited to share that the next release of Tundra Tracker will occur on Monday, October 3rd!
Details will be published in a blog post tomorrow! (Sep 27th)
@vr_hai
I can try to explain :)
Basically we are a group of friends doing business together and helping one another out but remain autonomous companies. There are a few key people: Luke, Jason, Zoe and Miyu.
*Luke is in the USA and runs Tundra Labs
*Jason and Zoe are in China and run
“Depending on how realistic the legs appear, this approach may also bring up the issue of the Uncanny Valley, or the creepy feeling some people have in response to human-like representations that aren't quite human.”
Exhibit C
In addition to the VRChat straps we announced earlier, we're also releasing Tundra birthday socks!
You can read more about the straps & socks here:
We'll release these in the coming day, and expect to ship orders within 4-6 weeks.
Version 2 of the much loved EOZ Chest Strap has arrived!
We’ve added a pouch to the back to securely hold a large power bank. Let the extra long wireless sessions begin!
Great for use with Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2 or Pico 4
Ready for Apple Vision Pro!
So what if we have *No gloves*? 🧤
Still prototyping around Capacitive proximity stuff. because that stuff is sensetive and not relaible many times 😂
Might need to dev on 1CA037 asic to get its job done. same chip used in Index.

UK Inventory is also traveling to the distribution warehouse in Wales!
@Tundra_Labs
I used my dev board to add weight based fill level tracking to my VRChat drink tracker (that green indicator on the neck of the bottle). Was a really fun project, so thanks guys for releasing these boards - they are a blast to work with!
We'll be improving our website pictures and descriptions over time but EOZ straps and magnetic charging cables are now online and for sale!
Free Shipping on straps and charging cables for US Customers until the end of the year!
Giving modders and tinkerers the freedom to do what they do best is important to us - and so we made sure to provide CAD files for our trackers. Awesome stuff!
Inspried by this work by
@SadlyItsBradley
and others in the community, we're putting Individual trackers for sale!
Let the weird and wonderful experiments continue!
Today I release my video showing off a ton of WEIRD experiments I did this week with Mixed Reality on PC
All with a Valve Index, which despite being 4 years old, actually does pretty well as a Mixed Reality HMD...
The first general sale for Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand went pretty smoothly.
In total the tracker inventory sold out in 49minutes. 🎉
Dongles are still available.
Thank you everyone for your amazing support!
“Hey guys i want to wish you all a Happy holidays. twitter is full of copypasted holiday messages, that people don't even read and just steal and repost. I don't like that. You are the best hockey team i've ever played with.”

About time I posted this video 😅
Feels good to be back making fun content 🤍
I have fallen in love with Tundras, easily my favorite Full Body Tracking solution yet. Here's my review!
Major complements to
@Meta
for doing this.
Normally we're happy to criticize but pending the details of this announcment, it is a big step towards openness.
Also, great way to make the annoucement, skip all of that corporate PR stuff and send it to the internet!
Big news! Meta has just announced that they're opening up Meta Horizon OS, the operating system powering Quest, to allow others to design more headsets using their ecosystem. Lenovo, Microsoft, and ASUS are among Meta's initial partners. This move could spark a new wave of

@Tundra_Labs
is making VR tech affordable, and I'm excited for them to send me some review copies in the near future!
Progress continues to move forward but we do need to update everyone about a schedule delay in our latest Kickstarter update 😕
Thank you to everyone for your support and patience and we ramp this up!

Ok, really thinking about
@VRChat
When does a marketplace appear for “tour guides” or “sherpas” who can walk people through their first experiences?
Or does it already exist?
Improved elbow positioning, new settings, a ton of bug fixes, CALIBRATION SAVING, and up to ELEVEN-POINT TRACKING! After a long beta, the new

IK changes have finally been released!
🙄<Insert Hot Take>
Never understood why something needs to be "bigger than mobile" in order to be a useful technology
Haters gonna hate, now show us the anime avatars and follow us on Twitter!
