Valve Index Base Station (1 Pack)

Product Information

If I can find something similar in the UK then that might be a good option for me, then I can have 1 base station mounted on the wall in front and to the right and one tripod behind me and to the left.

the set comes with two base stations which is all you need but the HTC ones work fine they just dont come with extra mounting hardware if you want a 3rd base station If you need to re-synchronize the base stations or add new base stations, consult the Valve Index documentation for the specific steps required.I have placed my Base Stations each the same distance from where my head will be in VR, with Base Stations about 1.8 metres / 6 feet apart and about 1 metre / 3 feet 4 inches in front of my chair. is this the optimum position? I have read that some people use 1 Base station in front of the VR area (for me, a chair) and 1 behind, which setup is better? I won't be using my Hifi system whilst flying, so there won't be vibration whilst I'm in VR but it's a good point that I hadn't thought of. The vibration whilst blasting out Led Zep on my Hifi might move the base stations. So, I powered up my pc, connected to internet, opened Steam VR and allowed it to do all of the updates to the Headset, Base Stations and Controllers (firmware I believe). After a restart, the Base Stations booted up and I made sure there was clear line of sight between them, they synced and then Steam VR started the Room Setup, I chose 'Standing' and completed this process. In the Steam VR panel, every component was solid green - Headset, Controllers and Base Stations. To start with I will only be playing seated games, but might try Half Life Alyx or something similar at a later date. When I was using my Oculus Rift CV1 with Oculus Home environment I really enjoyed using the hand controllers to aim the Ray-gun and bow and arrow! The base stations will have to be angled down quite a lot to be pointed at my headset, almost 45 degrees, is this ok? I'm limited by my front base station having to be mounted above my window.

Ensure that the base stations have an unobstructed line of sight with the VR headset and controllers. I would like 100% SS, no motion smoothing / ASW / frame doubling. 80 Hz / 80 fps. I have an i5 9600k @ 4.9 GHz and a RTX 2080 ti 11 Gb graphics card. My rig is in my signature below. When setting up the Valve Index VR system for the first time, the synchronization process is usually done automatically. I'm finally getting round to setting up my second hand Valve Index with controllers and HTC Vive base stations. Unfortunately the kit didn't come with an instruction manual, and whilst I will search the internet for a guide to set up my gear, I would still appreciate some advice from those who have experience with the Index.If you move the pods slightly (the cat or dog touching them is enough), you must re-setup your playspace a-new as it will be off, and you might end up smashing the wall and the cat or dog. A hassle. But still a choice. The other base station / sensor will be behind me about 150 cm from headset and about 40 cm - 50 cm from the centre to the right...

bro, I've seen a lot of people act like their VR headset is objectively the best, but this is on another level. It's enough for them, they're happy with it, so let them enjoy it. Thank you all for taking the time to read through all of this, please post any hints or tips below, it is much appreciated! Could it be that my Base Stations are too close together? they are pointing at each other on a diagonal 240 cm 2.4 m apart

I set up my Base Stations on a diagonal with both pointing directly at each other, problem is, when I am sat in between the two my head gets in the way of the line of sight. So, tomorrow I try setting up the position of my base stations so that they can see each other.

The Valve Index Base Stations require a power source to operate. They come with power adapters that need to be connected to a power outlet. Thanks for your lengthy and well articulated reply Fenris_Wolf. I will write of my experiences this evening before replying to your post... During the setup process, ensure that the base stations are within the recommended play area and their positions are accurately registered in the VR system. Take into account that the basestation has moving internal parts and your adeshive could be not enough to keep the base station fixed.I hear what you're saying regarding the adhesive maybe not being strong enough, those Vive base stations are quite heavy! Ok so got everything set up yesterday evening, however spent a lot of time with it - one controller was giving me grief updating the firmware but finally got it to take."
