Shiftall Inc. is pleased to announce the HaritoraX Expansion set for elbow tracking and HaritoraX Expansion set for hip tracking, which expand the HaritoraX that moves your avatar in the VR Metaverse in synchronization with your motions. These expansion sets allow for more accurate elbow or hip motions. Those expansion sets do not work by themselves and require HaritoraX.
HaritoraX is an inexpensive, space-saving wireless full-body tracking device that requires no additional equipment. When combined with a VR headset such as Meta Quest 2 or HTC Vive, the avatar's entire body can be moved in the VR Metaverse in sync with in real life.
The new expansion sets connect to the HaritoraX expansion port and are attached to the upper arm or abdomen. HaritoraX provides up to 11-point tracking *1 that can sync your motions more naturally for your avatar in the VR Metaverse. HaritoraX and those additional sets will enable 11-point tracking on VRChat or other 11-point tracking-enabled metaverse platforms for less than $500 *2.
*1 The maximum number of tracking points supported by each metaverse platform differs.
*2 Not including the price of the headset and controllers.
HaritoraX is a full-body tracking device for waist and leg motion that is compatible with SteamVR. HaritoraX does not require an external optical sensor, so you can enjoy full-body tracking in tight spaces. HaritoraX's tracking method uses acceleration, angular velocity, and magnetometer sensors (9-axis IMU) instead of optical sensors such as cameras, so HaritoraX will continue tracking even when worn under a skirt or covered by a blanket. Multiple HaritoraX units can work simultaneously in the same room.
The avatar's elbow motions are reproduced by estimating the position of the elbow joints from the position of the palms, even if only a VR headset and 2 hand controllers are used. In reality, if you rotate your wrist or move your elbow while holding your wrist steady with the VR headset and controllers, their motions don't sync well with avatars in the VR Metaverse. The HaritoraX elbow tracking expansion set allows for more accurate elbow motion.
HaritoraX had previously used 5 IMUs to generate 3 tracking points in the VR metaverse, but due to the poor usability of wearing 6 IMUs on the body and the advanced posture estimation and correction capabilities of the Haritora Configurator, 5 IMUs were sufficient. The system was designed to use 5 IMUs, which would have been sufficient.
However, the use of 6 IMUs enables accurate tracking, even in special postures where the avatar would move differently from reality with 5IMUs. In addition, the phenomenon commonly referred to as "feet sliding" in which the avatar's feet slide on the floor, is greatly reduced.
In addition to the 3 tracking points on the VR headset (head) and controllers (right and left hands), HaritoraX adds 5 tracking points* for a total of 8 tracking points. In addition, 2 additional tracking points will be achieved with the newly announced HaritoraX elbow tracking expansion set (right and left elbows) and 1 additional tracking point with the HaritoraX hip tracking expansion set (abdomen), for a total of 11 tracking points. 11-point tracking can reproduce the motions of the human body in the real world in its entirety in the VR Metaverse and is considered an optimal environment for users who enjoy physical motions such as dancing in the VR Metaverse.
* With the release of the expansion set for elbow tracking, the Haritora Configurator will be updated to increase the number of tracking points in the VR Metaverse applications such as VRChat from 3 to 5 when used with HaritoraX alone.
