About owoTrack

Warning

owoTrack is mostly a proof of concept. Using phones for trackers does not lead to the best results, and fixing bad tracking quality is not always possible.

Danger

Strapping phones (or tablets) to your body can damage or break the devices, which can lead to you getting covered in broken glass. Take caution when strapping devices to you!

owoTrack is an app for Android, iOS, and WearOS that allows you to use your phone, tablet, or smartwatch as a SlimeVR tracker for use in VR or motion capture.

Setup

Setting up owoTrack shouldn't be too difficult. If you are using Android, owoTrack should automatically detect and connect to SlimeVR server. If you are using iOS, connecting owoTrack to SlimeVR server will be a little more difficult, as you will need to manually enter the ip address of the device running SlimeVR server. It is suggested to read the Android and iOS connection guides for more info.

Specs of phones

Some phones have better IMUs (Inertial Measurement Unit) than others. This can lead to some phones having better tracking quality than others, however it does depend on how the manufacturer has configered the phone. The IMU models used by many phones are documented on this site, but a better IMU doesn't always mean better tracking.

Warning

Please do not buy phones for Full Body Tracking. They will be more expensive than buying SlimeVR Trackers, and offer worse tracking. It is reccomended to buy or build actual SlimeVR Trackers instead.
