Full-body tracking is an absolutely exciting experience, especially with these games!
With many virtual reality games, you only use a VR headset and the controllers. Then, in the virtual world, you see only your hands. And that's a shame, because a significant part of your body is missing. By adding your body, virtual reality suddenly becomes a lot more realistic. You can achieve this by adding an HTC Vive Tracker 2.0 to your HTC Vive or Vive Pro-set. But be careful, because not all games support full-body tracking. Therefore, we would like to give you a few tips to get the best experience with full-body tracking!
Island 359
This intense survival game from CloudGate Studios was already an excellent Early Access SteamVR game, featuring a massive island filled with dinosaurs to explore, hunt, and occasionally fear. Like most VR games, it started with a couple of hands with which you could do everything, but when you looked down, there was no body.
With the addition of Vive Tracker support, Island 359 has added a complete virtual fitting room so you can assemble a body that perfectly matches your virtual hands. And since Vive Trackers can track your entire body, you can move your arms and legs as you would in the real world and see that translated virtually. It makes a huge difference when it comes to truly feeling part of the game, which in this case means that the fear of being eaten alive by a dinosaur dramatically increases!
Tornuffalo
Full body action has been added to this ridiculous game as free DLC, making the game a lot more physical and infinitely more fun. Initially, you only had to worry about dodging all flying objects with your head, but full-body tracking ensures that you have to dodge everything with your entire body. This leads to the most hilarious moments in virtual reality.
Full-body tracking not only allows you to dodge extra things, but now you can also use your feet to attack things. Kick a power shard while dodging objects like Neo from The Matrix in slow-motion; you can't imagine what you can do in this game!
Arizona Sunshine
If you have a VR headset and haven't played this game, something is wrong. It's a fantastic zombie shooter with a great story, and the developers have been constantly improving the experience from day one, resulting in a delightful gaming experience. But no matter how hard you try, no VR controller really feels like holding a real firearm. Luckily for those who want the most realistic gameplay, the Vive Tracker is here to help.
By adding a Hyper Blaster with a Vive Tracker attached, the combat in Arizona Sunshine feels much more realistic, which is a lot of fun. Moreover, it's amusing to toss your gun into the air like a goofball and actually be able to catch it while wearing the headset (of course, be careful not to drop it).
Final Soccer VR
There are various games where you play the goalkeeper in virtual reality, but in Final Soccer VR, you are actually the player for the first time. You can add Vive Trackers to your feet, allowing you to kick in your physical environment and the ball flies into the goal in the virtual world.
This game was already fantastic with features like multiplayer mode versus other Vive players and even smartphone players, but adding Vive Trackers for physical play makes everything much better!
VRChat
It's weird, it's fun, and it seems like everyone is doing it; with VRChat, you can step in as any character you want to play and game with a bunch of other people. It's a simple social VR experience with a huge audience right now, and a great way to stand out in this experience right now is a set of Vive Trackers.
Where everyone else can only move their heads and hands, Vive Trackers give you full-body motion in VRChat. This makes you look a lot more interactive and feel a lot more fun.
