Watch the introduction video to get an impression on the full-body tracking quality you can achieve by using Cyberith-IK and the Virtualizer VR Walking Platform.
The implementation into your custom Unity application is as easy as it can get.
Standard IK Systems for VR only use three tracked points to estimate the positions and rotations of all joints of the user: The position of the head (known through the position of the VR headset) and the positions of both hands (known from the VR controllers).
Without requiring to add any additional hardware other then the Virtualizer itself, our VR Treadmill adds the exact position and rotation of the hips as a 4th point. Due to the central position of the hips on the human body, knowledge of this point improves the quality of full-body tracking massively.
Make a T-Pose, press the trigger button on the controller and let the system do the rest.
The Cyberith IK System calibrates the height of the user and the length of the arms through a single click.
Cyberith-IK is based on Rootmotion’s FinalIK, the most advanced IK Solver for Unity. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, we based our work on the best IK Solver out there and focused on the usability for Virtualizer customers.
Thus, Cyberith-IK is fully compatible with all functions of FinalIK, the most advanced IK Solver for Unity.
Our Full-Body Tracking System for VR and the Virtualizer comes with a custom Cyberith avatar and is out-of-the-box compatible with all Microsoft Rocketbox Avatars, a collection of over 100 avatars, that are free to use for research and academic use.
All other avatars following the same standard are similarly compatible.
Unity is the 3D engine chosen by the majority of our customers.
Currently, Cyberith IK is available exclusively for Unity.
Cyberith-IK has been designed with SteamVR Systems in mind, as these flexible systems come with finger tracking and because additional trackers are available (Vive Trackers for 6-point IK, face trackers & eye trackers for facial expressions).
In case you don’t wish to use SteamVR, the XR Plugin can be changed accordingly.
Cyberith-IK is available as a Unity Plugin to all Virtualizer customers.
Our easy to use IK System for VR works with both the Virtualizer ELITE 2 and the Virtualizer R&D Kit.
