HaritoraX Wireless is a completely wireless, compact, inexpensive and space-saving wireless motion tracking device for users such as Metaverse V distribution. It is not possible to reflect the movement of the avatar from the chest down only by operating the VR headset and the controller, but by using this product, you will be able to move the avatar with the whole body.
HaritoraX wireless supports 6-point (ankle, knee, waist, chest) tracking, and although it is small, it can be driven for a long time of 20 hours. The big difference from HaritoraX 1.1 is that there is no wired connection between sensors. It is recommended for those who perform vigorous movements such as dancing because it does not get caught on controllers, limbs, or armrests of chairs during vigorous movements. Charging is possible with the USB Type-C terminal. By using the optional charging dock, you can plug in and charge with the band attached. By combining with VR headsets such as Meta Quest 2 and HTC VIVE, it is possible to reflect the movement of the whole body (9 points) including the legs and waist in the VR space (commonly known as full tiger). Furthermore, by adding an additional sensor to the upper arm, 11-point tracking* is realized, and the natural movement of the human body can be expressed.
*The maximum number of tracking points supported by each platform is different.
HaritoraX Wireless has a built-in distance sensor in the ankle, and it is also characterized by being able to reflect the movement of the ankle joint on the avatar without attaching a sensor to the instep.
In addition to Bluetooth LE, communication with a dedicated dongle is also possible. The dedicated dongle has lower latency than Bluetooth LE, and stable communication is possible even in environments where radio waves are congested, such as offices and exhibitions. A dedicated dongle for HaritoraX/HaritoraX 1.1 is also planned to be sold (different from the dedicated HaritoraX wireless dongle).
The HaritoraX series employs a tracking method that uses acceleration, angular velocity, and geomagnetic sensors (9-axis IMU), and does not require external optical sensors, so even when used in narrow spaces, it does not enter shadows such as furniture. No tracking lost due to Tracking continues even when worn under a skirt or covered with a blanket. It is also possible to operate multiple units simultaneously in the same room. Since it is equipped with a geomagnetic sensor, it automatically recovers from the drifting state using the absolute azimuth angle even if it is used for a long time exceeding one hour. You can also turn off the geomagnetic sensor in places where the geomagnetic conditions are not good.
