Hello everyone. I'm working on a custom tracking system as my masters' thesis that could be used for VR. I'm working mostly on the hardware and firmware side of the device, but there are a couple of software needs that I'm working on low priority to get more experimental data once I get the whole thing to work. Through an LM (I'm not an AI guy, but I've not done object oriented programming in my degree, and I don't have the bandwidth to learn rn) I've acquired the code of a driver to get the tracker to talk to the OpenVR API to display the device on SteamVR. I will also use the tracker's communications method to get it to work on MATLAB as a data gathering tool. Does anybody know if I can co

It isn't a new revolution in the hardware side of VR headsets, but it could be in the software side of SteamOS on ARM processors. I really hope that the future ARM64 image can be used on phones and tablets, and get the possibility of using an ARM based device with SteamOS, not only to play lighter games, but to also use it as a lighter load PC, with all its implications. It could turn quite good

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for a foldable e-bike to use on my dialy conmute, that is being sold in Spain, Seville preferably. It has to be foldable so I can take it into the bus I use to go to my town from Seville or the metro to go to a neighbouring town, and so I can take it anytime, even during rush hour. Good battery capacity is prefered, to minimize charging times per month. TIA

Hola a todos.

Estoy mirando para comprar alguna bici eléctrica plegable que poder meter en el bus que me lleva de mi pueblo a Sevilla, para luego ir al trabajo con la bici eléctrica. Quiero que sea plegable para poder cargarla en el transporte público en cualquier momento y con buena autonomía. Quizá no es el mejor subreddit para pedir info, pero siendo en Sevilla me parece mejor tener info basada en modelos vendidos en España.

Gracias por adelantado

Hello everyone. I'm doing some research for the initial documentation of my masters' thesis about the viability of new technolgy for outside in tracking. I'm researching about the different tech that has been used in different VR systems, like Oculus had on the Rift with IR cameras, and Playstation had with the regular camera. Rn I'm sudying how lighthouse works, and there is something skipping my mind.

I've understood that lighthouse emits an IR laser sweep, with the ID of the base station encoded through the laser emission. Then a series of sensors catch the emission, and by knowing what it looks like you can now how you are oriented and at what distance you are from the lighthouse sta

I mostly noticed it on recent videos with the blue door that has the greyed window (like the printers one). It's mostly on that window. Maybe it's been forever like that, but I recently noticed it on darker scenes and zones, like dark t-shirts also, don't know if it's been like htat or if yt is doing stuff

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a pen to use on post-processing so that when I finish assembling a set of pieces, I can get some filament to fill any spot that may be left behind on tolerances before sanding and painting. Any recommendation is welcome. TIA

Hello everyone. I'mplanning on buying some evaluation boards of Nordic Semiconductors, that have microcontrollers that are capable of a specific Bluetooth new protocol that I'm going to use on a college project. Essentially, I want to ensure the capabilities before hitting the trigger to get them, along with knowing what else would be needed. Any help is appreciated. TIA

Hello everyone. I'm planning on buying multiple nordic semiconductors nRF54L15 boards for a college project, which is based on channel sounding. I'm considering rn 1 tag board, along with 1 dev kit, and a possible second dev kit. My technical questions are related to timing, capabilities and other required hardware.

Timing: during normal load, what is the expected timing between Channel sounding "first packet" send and data measurement obtention?

Capabilities: During my search, it became clear that simultaneous multi-reflector channel sounding is impossible (and makes a ton of sense, honestly). If I were to use 2 or more reflectors, would I have to do connect-measure-disconnect or woul

This is a personal rant, ymmv. I use a lot tagged locations. For those who don't know, when you have an address that you go to a lot (a family member's home, your SO's work or whatever), instead of having to use said address, you can tag a location, you set a custom name (grandparents' home, honeys work, etc.), and you'd tell the old Google Assistant to go to x (the tagged location) and it'd recognize it as such and head you to the address. With Gemini, somehow Google doesn't allow you to give it access to tagged locations and to have it know you have to tell it all the addresses so it "remembers". Like, WTF. And the Google Assistant feels lobotomized rn, so it's quite useless. I don't know

Hello everyone.

Maybe this post doesn't belong here. If not, I want to apologize in advance and would like to find a more suitable subreddit to post into

I'm starting to do some work on an electronic system of self design to do 6 axis position and orientation estimation in 3D space. I have already solved the external beacons system, and I'm currently working on the IMU system.

My idea is to have 3 IMU located in a colinear geometry, one in the geometrical center of the PCB, and the other 2, 1 at each side. Center one would do orientation estimation, with the other 2 doing position estimation.

The purpose is to be able to do multiple firmware versions of the system so that depending on t

And it is honestly stupid. If somehow my clock goes out of sync on my company assigned laptop because whatever reason, now I have to bother IT to be allowed to sync time and get my 2FA working. I'm not in that situation, but I discovered it last week with my Japanese Teacher's computer because it was 2 minutes ahead of current time. I guided her through the steps of time sync, only to get an admin password requirement to be able to do that. Why would something like this be a smart decision to make?

Hello everyone. I've been lurking around here, hopeful that some day I may be able to afford a 3D scanner. I have a really nice laptop, with up 64GB of memory that could work as up to 63.5GB of RAM or 48GB of VRAM, but it has no NVIDIA hardware (a Strix Halo machine). I also have a desktop with a 3060 GPU (12GB one). I've read that many 3D scanning software requires NVIDIA hardware for CUDA parallel computing, which turns the scan into a 3D model. Does any of the software offer a "raw data" model capture for processing in another machine? It would be really cool to be able to do so, even if the raw data file is huge.

TIA

Hello everyone. I've recently watched a video about a software to unlock the dualsense capabilities over BT so you can use the whole haptic feedback. And that got me thinking: are there any sort of dongle couple that allows general purpose use and acts as if there was a wired interface? I certainly see the market in some areas, like the mentioned Dualsense capabilities unlock, and there could be a market on some peripherals or device connections. Would you buy one?
