+ | [* black] Pulling back the outer shell on the Vive reveals a number of sensors—32 in total, according to HTC. |
[* black] These photodiodes take in IR light from the two Lighthouses as they flash and sweep light across the room. This enables a connected PC to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J54dotTt7k0|calculate the headset's position|new_window=true] and orientation in space as a function of the time between receiving the flash and the following IR laser sweep. | |
[* icon_note] This method is the exact opposite of the head-tracking technique found in the Oculus Rift. In the Rift, the desk-mounted camera tracked the IR emitters in the headset, whereas in the Vive, the headset sees light from the mounted IR emitters without actually "tracking" its location. |
