So last night around 2am (AFTER Slaying of the Spire) I connected my 5 Tundra body trackers into @ManusMeta Polygon to get a fully body solve, then connected it into #UE4 with our Christmas Carol #MetaHumans w/ #Vive face + eye tracking. It keeps crashing but is VERY promising. – at New York, USA

A little sneak preview of the new #UE4 tracking SDK coming from @htcvive, now compatible w/ #MetaHumans ! Very exciting to be in #VR w/ full eye & mouth movement. Apologies to @xractor + @GJMaupin for butchering their fine work in these early tests. #viveproeye #vivefacetracker

There was a secret #HTC dev meetup w/ demos! I was invited to go to LA to check out #ViveFlow back in September but this was my first time actually trying it. I was pleasantly surprised! Comfortable form factor, light, & sharp visuals. Great for attending live cloud #VR theatre😏
