Meta’s ‘Body Tracking’ API For Quest Is Just A Legless Estimate

Upload VR

The spokesperson described the technology as a combination of inverse kinematics (IK) and machine learning (ML). Meta’s pitch here is that its machine-learning model can produce a more accurate body pose for free. The system shown isn’t fully accurate though and has 160ms latency – more than 11 frames at 72Hz.

Meta AI Research: Quest 2 Body Tracking Estimation Without Trackers

Upload VR

The researchers even claim the resulting accuracy and jitter are superior to worn IMU trackers – devices with only a accelerometer and gyroscope such as Pico 4’s announced Pico Fitness Band (Pico claims it is working on its own machine learning algorithm though). That’s our current strategy.”.

Meta AI Research: Quest Body Pose Estimation Helped By Furniture Awareness

Upload VR

Last year three Meta researchers showed off QuestSim , a reinforcement learning model that can estimate a plausible full body pose with just the tracking data from Quest 2 and its controllers. The system’s latency is also the equivalent of many frames in VR. That’s our current strategy.”
