Hi,

We are using Vizard for Interior Design projects. We want to be able to walk around spaces and digital environments and use the goggles and glove properly, as for example, to touch a chair. And because of that, we need to know where would be the best placement for the receiver. Should it be on the ceiling, on the floor, or on the walls?

Thanks,

Vinicius

Hi,

The ideal position would be on the floor, however if you are attaching the sensor to the head and hands, then they might go out of range of the receiver. If you are noticing that the data is very jittery, then you might need to place the receiver on a table, so that it is closer to the sensors. If you do this, then you will need to offset the sensor data in your Vizard script to adjust for the new height.

Have you tested out the sensor range? What is the maximum acceptable distance the sensors can be from the receiver?
