The Benefits
- High-Quality Streaming: The setup ensures high-resolution streaming with minimal latency.
- Accurate Motion Capture: Multiple trackers provide precise motion capture for various body parts.
- Enhanced User Experience: The combination of facial and motion trackers offers a more immersive VR experience.
The Downsides
- Cost: The setup involves high-end components, which can be expensive.
- Complexity: Setting up and maintaining the system requires technical expertise.
- Space Requirements: Adequate space is needed to use the motion capture system effectively.
The Road Not Taken
Alternative solutions such as using lower-end VR headsets or fewer motion trackers were considered but not chosen due to their limitations in providing high-quality streaming and accurate motion capture.
The Infrequent Use Case
Infrequent use cases include scenarios where only basic motion capture is needed, such as simple VR interactions without the need for full-body tracking or high-resolution streaming.
