Connection
- Turn on the tracker you want to connect
Supported tracker combination modes can be found in the previous chapter
- Insert the receiver into the computer's USB port
- Open the Rebocap software and click connect
Reasons and Solutions for Connection Failure
- Ensure the USB port is not problematic, for example, some users' computer USB ports accumulate dust, which can lead to unstable connections.
Try changing the USB port or re-plugging
- A rebocap client is already running, causing the port to be occupied, or other programs are occupying the port
The symptom is that the
Connect
button can be clicked, but the connection fails. At this time, you need to ensure that other rebocap clients are completely closed. It is recommended to re-plug the receiver and check for otherrebocap
processes in the task manager. If found, force close them. - Ensure the serial port is normal and no other virtual serial port software is installed. Some users install virtual serial port devices, which can cause the driver to fail.
For example, if the
com0com
driver is installed, you need to uninstall the driver and then re-plug the receiver. Ensure the driver has not been replaced. You can follow the steps shown in the figure below to roll back the receiver's serial port driver. If it still cannot connect, unplug the receiver and reinsert it.
If the connection cannot be calibrated and the RGB light color cannot be changed, you can also try rolling back the driver.
Weak or Unstable Signal After Connection
- If using a desktop computer, do not place the receiver behind the chassis
- Try to keep an open area of at least 5cm around the receiver, for example, do not insert a USB drive next to the receiver. If possible, try using an extension cable, which may help improve the signal.
Calibration
Refer to the image below for wearing instructions. The specific wearing position varies from person to person. For principles and detailed descriptions, refer to the previous chapter.
[info] Be sure to test 15 points for the first use
If the test results are not good, the possible reasons are as follows:
- Magnetic field issues, specific solutions can be found here
- The gyroscope may need calibration, please refer here
- Wearing and pulling issues, please read carefully and refer here
Pose Calibration
Click the Pose Calibration button on the software interface. Refer to the image below for pose calibration. The software also has corresponding image prompts. Be sure to read all the key points and action specifications.
Key Points for Calibration
- After clicking Pose Calibration, immediately enter the A-Pose and remain still
The system will start detecting whether the person is stationary 2 seconds after clicking. Pay attention to controlling the amplitude of forward and backward swaying, minimize swaying as much as possible to complete the initialization of each sensor. The detection duration is 10 seconds. As long as it detects that the person is stationary for the last 2 seconds, it will immediately enter the calibration program.
- During the rapid beeping sound, the system will record the corresponding pose data
Be sure to remain still during the rapid beeping sound. It is recommended to switch poses 1 second after the rapid beeping sound ends.
- After switching poses, be sure to remain still and wait for the rapid beeping sound. It is recommended to complete the switching process within 2 seconds.
- Do not move your feet during the pose switching process
Keep your feet strictly still during calibration, without any movement.
- After clicking Pose Calibration, immediately enter the A-Pose and remain still
Action Specifications
A-Pose
Legs vertical down, as parallel as possible, keep a fist's distance between the feet, hands straight down without bending, palms facing inward, stop the spine, look straight ahead
If you feel that the virtual character's feet cross after calibration, reduce the distance between your feet during calibration.
If you feel that the virtual character's feet are too far apart after calibration, increase the distance between your feet during calibration.
T-Pose
Legs same as A-Pose, hands extended outward, must be shoulder-width apart, and both hands in a straight line, palms facing down
S-Pose
Legs slightly bent forward about 30 degrees, no need to bend excessively, hands forward, perpendicular to the upper body, height parallel to the shoulders, and both arms parallel
If the arms do not have trackers, the arm movements can be ignored.
B-Pose
Upper body bent forward 30 degrees, no need to worry about hand movements
B-Pose stands for Blend-Pose, mainly used to calibrate the yaw angle of the waist, chest, and head trackers.

Must Know!!! {/examples/}
To avoid various issues during use (such as trackers inexplicably tilting, etc.) and to enhance your motion capture experience, please be sure to read the following instructions.

- For other configurations, you can click the question mark icon at the top right corner of each configuration panel
Best Practices for Strap Binding
If you skipped the previous chapter, please read it in your free time, or make sure to read it in detail if you encounter any problems
[info] Important Point Re-emphasized
Here it is mentioned again, the way trackers are bound at the bottom of the feet is crucial. Try not to use straps to prevent the trackers from being affected by friction with the ground, which could impact the overall motion capture effect. For details, please see the previous chapter.
