One of the biggest criticisms about the metaverse is that the whole body is not included in the system. Oculus Quest 2 currently only includes hands and head. But will the entire human body be included in the future? Here’s the answer…
Meta’s VR headset, Oculus Quest 2, will it be able to body-track soon?
One of the biggest criticisms Meta has faced was the inability to track full-body tracking on the Oculus Quest 2. Last week, the “Body Tracking Support” option was found in the Oculus SDK folders. As soon as the leak was reported, that option was quickly removed from the folder.
Oculus Quest 2 is currently not designed to do full body tracking due to the sensors it has. The second version of the VR glasses produced by Facebook Meta has entered its 1st year. It has also not received any major feature updates since its release.
Vice President of Meta Reality Labs, Andrew Bosworth, opened a live broadcast on his Instagram account last night. In the question and answer section, it was asked whether full body tracking was possible. “Body tracking is very difficult because the camera in your face can’t see your legs very well,” Bosworth said. When we try to make the cameras on the Meta smaller, this problem sometimes can’t even detect the cheeks.” made the statement.
Bosworth explained that in the future, Quest 2 will be able to more accurately predict where his torso and arms are with hand and head tracking data. However, as of now, this does not apply to the whole body. Full body tracking is currently not possible with Meta’s Oculus Quest 2 goggles, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible for Oculus Quest 3.
Bosworth, who asked his followers, “Can’t fake legs be made in his live broadcast yesterday,” said, “It is very difficult to run this with estimations. With the current Oculus Quest 2 system, we only need to follow the body from the outside. This means an extra cost, an extra setup. We’ve seen most of the jokes about our legless avatars and it’s really brutal. But we are working very hard to resolve this issue.” made the statement.
Meta avatars are only up to the waist as of now. However, it is expected that this will improve in the future. It is also speculated that the legs can be solved by placing a camera in the abdomen so that they can be included in the Oculus Quest.
