Implement IOBT

[unreal coral]

I'm a part of the Bonelab(SLZ) community and I've been hearing the main dev (Brandon) basically (relatively) nonstop singing the praises of IOBT. I think it could make managing the inventory much easier and you wouldn't have to do so much estimation for the player rig.

[real quartz]

And for people who can't do iobt. (Literally everyone on non quest devices)

Tf is IOBT?

I had to go to the SLZ discord to search it up, because Google was giving me all kinds of random uses of the same acronym

It means inside out body tracking

Would be nice if OP put that in their post

[wispy path]

I thought he was talking about transformers

[cobalt blade]

im still lost

[hazy bramble]

Using the headset’s cameras to actually watch and track your IRL body movements, I think

[cobalt blade]

ah, so just a quest thing pretty much?

[hazy bramble]

It sounds like it’s just a quest thing, but idk

I’m ignorant on quest

[cobalt blade]

me too

though i am hoping for at least hip tracking eventually, im not exactly hopeful for it

[hazy bramble]

I bought a groin tracker from Ali Express…

Was not what I expected

[comment made for comedic purposes only]

[cobalt blade]

id reccomend not trying to cheap out when it comes to trackers, it never ends well

i tried slime trackers, didnt work

well, they did work. just not well

[hazy bramble]

Every once in a while I’ll see if there is a cheap haptic device of some sort

Beacause I don’t want a full haptic vest or anything

But I think it would be cool to feel the vibration of gunfire, for example

[unreal coral]

majority of vr devices are meta headsets, and the quest 3s is $300

its baked into the quest 3, and itr2 is in early development, we already had a hotfix to help with issues related to the body, I think IOBT would help a lot

[real quartz]

Yea but 1, they're not all VR headsets. And 2, this isn't a game on the meta store

They could just add body tracking in general

Which would be great

[unreal coral]

Is itr2 not coming to quest? (Also IOBT works with streaming pcvr to the headset)

And I agree that FBT in general should be added too

[real quartz]

ITR2 is not confirmed coming to quest

It may, or may not

[unreal coral]

I think it's worth looking into, especially if it's not that complicated to implement

I'm sure the systems needed to implement it are similar to those for FBT

[real quartz]

I'm going to guesstimate that if you have FBT implemented. You have IOBT implemented aswell

If Quest can handle the conversion from iobt to fbt (I'm gonna guess it can do that, cus why wouldn't it be able to) then you have it

[unreal coral]

I hope so

[unreal coral]

Ok so basically they're working on the pcvr version and then the possibility of a port comes later

[wispy path]

Yeah that's what he said

So no promises and don't expect one

[unreal coral]

Still I think IOBT or even just FBT would be a worthy addition to the complex and detailed inventory system the game currently has

Right now it feels very jank and difficult to work with

[hollow fractal]

I'm curious how well haotics could implement the sensation.
Is it gonna feel like my phone vibrating or can they give the feeling of a rifle kick.

I've got an old mk3 smle 303 rifle, firing that doesn't kick your shoulder but you can feel it push you. VS my 12 gauge single barrel (we nicknamed the water pipe), firing that feels like someone swinging a piece of timber into your shoulder.

[hazy bramble]

I’ve never tried any gun stocks or anything, but I know there are some products that will simulate recoil on your shoulder or on the controller itself

I’d be interested in a simple haptic strap if:

They were cheap

And if they actually were programmed properly like the haptic vests are

The problem is that afaik, they aren’t programmed (to feel gunshots or damage, for example)

But are rather just set up to convert audio to vibration

So it’s just a constant mix of vibrations

🤷‍♂️

I turn off my controller haptics because they just suck

Not only do they not add to my experience
