No, the charging dock also acts as a wireless dongle when connected with a USB cable to the PC.

Each dock/dongle is capable of handling up to 10 devices. If you want to add more devices, reduce latency in congested environments or prefer not to connect the dock to the PC, you can buy one or more dongles.

You can use as many docks/dongles as you want at the same time, the system will automatically split the wireless traffic amongst them.

For a full 6DOF experience you need to attach a tracker to the HMD. We supply adapters for the most common HMDs, you can check the store for available adapters or the downloads page for 3D models that you can print yourself for free.

Additionally, you can create your own adapter or use one created by the community for your headset. For more information on community adapters, you can check our Discord server.

If you want to build your own adapters you can find resources and guides to aid you in the process in the downloads page.

After the beta period, OSC trackers will be supported.

FluxPose uses a custom proprietary 2.4GHz protocol that aims to provide the lowest possible latency while supporting up to 10 devices per Dock/Dongle. So you don't need to worry about your WiFi router/connection or anything like that.

Each Dock/Dongle, while supporting up to 10 devices simultaneously, uses only a single 1MHz 2.4GHz channel. If you want increased bandwidth (for higher refresh rates for example), even lower latency or more resilient communication in tough environments, you can always connect more receivers (Docks/Dongles) to your PC. The system will automatically split the wireless traffic among all the receivers.

Up to 24 hours.

There are three different power modes available: Power saving, Balanced and Performance. They significantly impact the battery life of the beacon. Depending on the tracking volume/performance you want, you can select different power modes to enjoy a longer playtime. For example, if you are taller than average (2m+), you will most likely not be able to use the power saving mode.

1. Power saving: 24 hours

2. Balanced: 14 hours

3. Performance: 8-10 hours
   

Yes, of course.

Our kits are designed to provide a simple starting point, ensuring you get all the devices you need for a given application.

You can at any point, add more devices to the system.

There is NO theoretical limit on how many trackers you can use simultaneously in a given system.

Nevertheless, right now only one beacon can be active a time. Support for multiple beacons will be available later on through a firmware update.

The charging dock (and each dongle) is able to handle up to 10 devices, so if you want to have more devices at the same time you will need to use additional dongles.

Yessss!

FluxPose is designed from the ground-up to be very versatile and can be used beyond VR for motion capture, robotics and more.

You can set any device as a spatial anchor and it will act as a reference point for the rest of the system. For example, in VR applications we automatically set this spatial anchor to an OpenVR HMD.

Through the locally available API you can get the position, rotation and many other parameters of all the devices in the system.

Yes, you can change a huge amount of parameters in the advanced mode of the FluxPose UI.

The Dock LED colors and the screen contents are just some of them 😉

You can turn off all the lights in the system by long pressing on the dock button until the lights turn off.

Interacting with the dock in any way (touching the button, plugging a device...) will turn the lights on again.

Yes! The trackers are completely occlusion free. This means you can use them under a blanket, clothes or in general any non-metallic object.

As a general rule of thumb, green=good, red=bad, blue=connecting/connected.

For more detailed information, please check the user manual in the Downloads page.

FluxPose, as all EMF tracking systems, can suffer from accuracy loss near metal.

We have minimized these effects by keeping the trackers and the beacon as close as possible and calibrating the effect of known objects like HMDs (headsets). Users can also create their own calibration to compensate for metal on their tracked objects. For VRChat full‑body tracking, the built‑in calibration cancels most remaining offsets under normal scenarios. Are you designing an accessory or want to integrate FluxPose in your project?

Check out our documentation in the downloads page to learn where to avoid placing metal and which metals have a lower effect.

Usually not.

Keeping the tracker just a few centimeters away from noisy electronics is usually enough to prevent any interference. For example, we have integrated our trackers with many VR HMDs and we haven't encountered any major issues.

If you are using 2 trackers per leg, you can turn on the 6DOF+ mode. (And we highly recommend it)

6DOF+ is our enhanced tracking mode, which refines the 6DOF position of your feet trackers with data from a kinematic model of your leg. This kinematic model is specifically tailored to your body through a one-time calibration performed in 6DOF mode.

6DOF+ generally doesn't have any drawbacks vs regular 6DOF, and is especially useful if you are very tall or your floor has tons of metal.

The absolute maximum tracking range for the tracker is a 1.7m radius sphere around the beacon. So, if you wear the beacon on your waist, you can track anything around you, no matter where you are in space (for example you can move to a different room as the tracking volume moves with you, granted your HMD allows it).

Nevertheless, the tracking performance degrades the further you go in this volume. (Check the datasheet in the Downloads page for more information).

For FBT, we don't recommend using the beacon as a stationary base-station, because even though the hardware/software supports it, having it in your waist is just much better in nearly all situations.
