Body Tracking Setup

Media

Once body tracking is enabled, you will have two dropdowns appear to the right of the toggle. The first dropdown allows you to set the body tracking range.

RangeDescriptionHeadsets
Upper

Records the participant's upper body movements from the hips up. Hand tracking is distinct from body tracking; it is a separate system.

Quest 2, Quest Pro, Quest 3, Quest 3S
Full

Records the participant's full body movements, including all upper body points in addition to the ankles and feet. This works by using an AI pose estimation algorithm (Meta Generative Legs) that estimates the participant's lower body movements based on their upper body movements.

The second dropdown allows you to set the body tracking fidelity.

FidelityDescriptionHeadsets
Low

Head and hand tracking data is used to estimate body positions using basic inverse kinematics (IK). Does not leverage inside-out body tracking (IOBT).

Quest 2, Quest Pro
High

Tracks up to nine upper-body joints (shoulders, elbows, chest, spine) using side cameras of headset, leveraging inside-out body tracking (IOBT). Estimates lower body movements via Meta Generative Legs.
