HTC VIVE launches self-positioning tracker for VR headsets

HTC VIVE launched its first all-in-one positional tracker, the VIVE Autonomous Tracker, on November 29th, enabling self-tracking through artificial intelligence. Equipped with two wide-angle cameras and computer vision for real-time spatial recognition, the tracker ensures that virtual and real movements are aligned, improving the accuracy of full-body tracking.

Additionally, when paired with five VIVE Autonomous Trackers, a controller-less, full-body tracking experience is possible. Instead of relying on a PC and locator, the trackers plug into a VIVE wireless receiver and track without space constraints using 6 DoF internal tracking technology. Priced at $4,899, the VIVE Autonomous Tracker 3+1 currently costs $4,899 and supports the VIVE XR Elite and VIVE Focus 3.
