Move your hips!
Added 2021-03-06 14:31:21 +0000 UTCComeCloser is the first VR game to allow hip tracking. This game changing feature allows you to take the control of your virtual penis by moving your real hips. All you have to do is placing one of your controller in your pocket, grab the calibration button and bring it in the correct position.
However, to ensure a good tracking of your hips, you will have to spend some time to figure out the best configuration for you, depending on your hardware, clothing and morphology. Here are some tips and trick to help you with that.
First, the basics for a good tracking:
- update all your firmware and drivers,
- ensure that the sensors are clean,
- avoid colored lights like Christmas decorations, infrared, ultraviolet,
- cover any reflexive surface like windows and mirrors,
- try and get more light in the room. Also try with less light.
Remember, controller are not designed to be used this way! but you will find a perfect configuration eventually:
- place your controller in your pocket and test different positions, like upside-down,
- ensure your controller is fixed tightly,
- try and use the other pocket,
- if you have base stations, you can try the rear pockets as well,
- if you don't have base stations, your controller will need to see your headset. Place it on the front,
- think about your placement between base stations: your controller only have to see one base station and it should have a clear line of sight,
- think about your arms: can you avoid them going in the line of sight,
- think about your loose clothes as well,
- try to hold the controller with your belt instead of your pocket. You can even pass your belt through the controller loop if it has one.
- using a belt, try to place the controller on the side, it can help if a belly or breasts are blocking the line of sigh,
- you can also try and fix your controller on a thigh, using a belt or anything. This is less intuitive but can provide great result when you get used to it.
To get a good tracking, the little sensors at the surface of the controller hull must see a base station (or the headset if you don't have base stations). Try and locate these sensors to have a better understanding of what's going on. They are not always easy to spot, take a close look.
We hope these tips will help, and we would be glad to hear about your own experience in the comments below.
Have fun with your virtual hips!

I'm kinda stuck. I'm new to this vr stuff. What's a holo and a calibration tool? Also I'm on oculus quest 2 and I don't have a virtual penis.
2022-01-13 10:18:44 +0000 UTCThe penis is bound to one of your controller. You need to place a controller inside your pocket and use the other controller to bring the virtual penis at the right position. From this moment on, the "slaved" controller need to remain in your pocket and will be used to track your pelvis motion. It is explained in the introduction scene. Does it help?

2021-10-15 08:53:01 +0000 UTCwhy does my virtual penis go everywhere else expect where i want it? I try to calibrate it with my hip using my pockets but it always reverts to my left hand controller and mimics whatever that hand is doing im not sure why it does this.
2021-10-15 04:25:10 +0000 UTCTo calibrate again, just grab the calibration tool from your holo menu, and place it in the correct position on your hips. You can do it as many times as you need.

2021-07-28 17:31:44 +0000 UTCSo, uh.. How exactly do we recalibrate the controllers? In order to use my hips, I mean. (Oculus Rift S) (PS: Do I need to play the... Amuse... yeah that version for it?)
2021-07-28 17:29:39 +0000 UTCThat's indeed something we should add, thanks you for the suggestion.

2021-04-15 14:20:08 +0000 UTCany chance to add Vive trackers as a hip?
2021-04-15 14:15:57 +0000 UTCThank you for this information. Indeed, if mirror mode is off by default in WMR configuration, that would explain @thisisdandy's problem. We will notify them with the fix.

2021-03-18 09:51:36 +0000 UTCI found the same issue with the HP Reverb G2, only the left controller lets me teleport with default bindings. I've messed about a lot with steam bindings for other games and one thing I noticed was the option to mirror both controllers. This is off by default, maybe for WMR in general but certainly for the Reverb G2. That might explain the default behaviour. Not a show stopper, but I figured it would help to know how another headset behaved :)

2021-03-18 01:20:10 +0000 UTCI don't understand. Maybe you don't know but you can calibrate with both hands so you can keep the hand you prefer
