3. Quick Start Guide
3.1 Hardware Setup
3.2 Tracking hardware
This section covers the basic setup, use and
running of the FLAIM Trainer system.
The hardware consists of a number of support
components that must be installed before training
can commence. This section covers the placement
and installation of all tracking hardware and
instructor television (or projector) monitoring
equipment.
Tracking is achieved using the VIVE lighthouse
system from HTC. A pair of trackers are installed
that define the maximum training space allowable
for the user to train in. At present the system
supports a training area of 6 x 6m ~(20 x 20ft)
or a total distance between the two trackers not
greater than about 7m (23ft).
This training area should be cleared of all furniture,
not contain large mirrors or highly reflective
surfaces and should not be in direct sunlight. The
tracking system used by FLAIM Trainer relies on
Infrared Light (IR) and tracking performance can be
degraded in certain conditions.
Each tracker is assembled as per the following
figures.
As shown in
Figure 7
, the tracking system
is plugged into the power receptacle. Once
assembled, the system can be placed into position
at diagonal corners of the training space and
powered on (by connecting the battery to the
system).
