JoyCon support about slimevr-server HOT 6 CLOSED

This sounds like a glorious idea if it works. I would love to test this. I have 4 joy cons and can easily grab another pair.

from slimevr-server.

it sounds like this will likely be prone to drift, as the joycon only has 6DoF (accelerometer, gyroscope, no magnetometer) like the MPU-6500 or MPU-6050. however, it'll probably still make a decent testbed for people who want to try the concept but don't want to get hardware for it yet.

there's a little bit of stuff in java for interacting with the joycon, but i didn't see anything targeting the IMU in particular. might be better to reference some of the non-java code, idk.

EDIT: i could be wrong but the joycon's sensor doesn't appear to do sensor fusion, so we'll probably have to do that ourselves.

@kitlith hang out with us on the discord :D D3adPlays currently is trying to build imu reading based on https://github.com/elgoupil/joyconLib

6DoF is okay, slimes themselves use 6DoF fusion, BNO085 and LSM6DS3 have pretty good gyros.

oh, they're not using 9dof fusion? My bad.

what is with PSMOVE from ps3 ... not the new for ps4 they have accelerometer, gyroscope and " magnetometer

Was actually implemented in: https://github.com/carl-anders/slimevr-wrangler
