Restrict Vive tracker to one positional axis?

princekorvax

Hello!

Is it possible to restrict a vive tracker to only one axis? When I parent my virtual camera to it in UE5.1, the camera angles and dips down. I want to be able to restrict all forward, backward, and up and down motion and only allow side to side positional motional whilst leaving rotational data alone. Is this possible? Thank you!

Also, I am going to try the adding the positional floor data as well, as I read in another post here. Which hopefully will fix some of my problem

Update: Adding floor measurement data didn't work. I've zeroed everything out multiple times and it's still moving to the diagonal. Any other thoughts as to why this might be? Im working with 2 base stations.

princekorvax Hey!
This will happen unless you Zero the tracker. Some tracking systems, but especially Vive, have zero points that aren't fixed to one physical point. The zero is both rotational and positional (this will be changed in the future.)

Put the tracker on your camera, put the camera at the zero point of your stage. Hit the zero button, and enter the floor offset. It should now work.
