ThrillSeeker covers Fluxpose and how it works for full body tracking using magnetic tracking.

He discusses the history of magnetic tracking and the pros/cons of the tech.

He found that 3 trackers didn't do too well, 5 trackers were okay, and 8 trackers were great.

The head tracker has to be in a very specific spot, otherwise tracking will suffer.

It uses some EMF filters to try to minimize interference with metallic objects and does okay with it, even better if you have more trackers.

Tracking is comparable to a base station.

He recommends that you don't buy the Vive Ultimate Trackers (you'll be dealing with problems unless you own a very modern Vive Headset).

“Oh, that seems expensive, can I use just three trackers instead of eight? Sure!”

Hopefully clever engineering can improve the system over time. Full body is cool.
