Unfortunately, my vive experience suffers from too much reflection/light issues (I believe). While seated and often during room scale, my tracking becomes bungled. Seated basically all times, especially if I look left.
My play space is my home office which in the real world is quite nice with a near floor to ceiling picture window overlooking a nature preserve from about 50 ft above forest floor. I also have 5 computer screens spanning my desk (yea I am a FTT SW engineer in my day job), thus its a great office with lots of natural light and comfort; however, for VR, appears not ideal. Thus..., does anyone have recommendations? I assume the large picture window would need to be covered in some fashion. Perhaps a large bedsheet. Would covering also be necessary for the computer screens (even if off?). I also have the Vive base stations mounted at 6.5 ft above floor. My office ceiling though is around 9ft. Thus, would it be best to have the base stations as high as possible, thus a maximum downward pointed view for the base stations?
I normally play at night, thus being dark in the office, but I guess the window could still be reflective along with the computer screens. Also with the stations view at my desk and things on it (even my x52pro hotas?), perhaps there too would there be issues of reflection. What would be cool is if software was available to give a view of what the base stations see and highlight any problematic reflective sources of light which conflict with the stations. Or is there SW out there that can do this??
