Choosing version: 1.0 vs. 2.0 & Quantity
- Before you drill holes in your walls or buy tripods, you need to know which hardware you’re holding.
[!warning] Watning: You cannot mix 1.0 and 2.0 base stations in the same setup.
[!warning] Lighthouse v2.0 not compatible with LH v1.0 tracked accessories! ie Vive Wands v1.0 & Vive Tracking Pucks v1.0
[!info] Lighthouse v1.0 compatible with both v1.0 & v2.0 tracked accessories.
-
1 Base : If you are strictly seated in a cockpit, one station mounted in front of off to one side is often enough. It allows you to “lean” into your mirrors and gauges with zero drift.
-
2 Bases: The standard. Place these in opposite corners. This provides 360° coverage for most titles.
-
3-4 Bases: If you use Full Body Tracking or find yourself losing tracking when you reach for the floor, adding a 3rd or 4th station virtually eliminates “occlusion” (when your body blocks the laser).
