This tutorial introduces the use of FOHEART H1 data gloves and HTC handles to drive virtual hand movements in VR to achieve hand tracking and positioning.
The content of this tutorial is different from the previous use of wristband positioning ( HTC FOCUS3 streams FOHEART H1 data gloves (wristband) on the PC side ), this time we use the handle that comes with the headset as a locator for development.
Our scene content runs on the PC side instead of the head-mounted display side. Use VIVE Business Streaming (VBS) wireless or USB wired streaming mode to operate the scene content on the PC side.
Hardware that needs to be prepared:
1. FOHEART H1 Data Gloves
2. HTC VIVE Focus 3 all-in-one machine
3. HTC VIVE controller

All-in-one connection handle
First turn off the gesture tracking function of the headset to prevent data conflicts in the content later.

Follow the handle pairing tutorial to pair with Focus3. After the pairing is completed, the handle icon is on the upper right corner of the main panel, indicating that the pairing has been completed.

Connected Data Gloves
Connect the network cable of the data glove receiver to the TypeC power supply interface. If the network has PoE power supply function, it is not necessary to connect the TypeC interface.
Make sure that the computer and the data glove receiver are in the same LAN.
Turn on the data glove and open the MotionVenus software, right-click the device on the left, and select Connect:

It is recommended to use a dedicated router for wireless WIFI streaming, and set the channel to a different channel from that of the home or company router to reduce interference from other wireless networks.
