2 - Install straps
Method A - Direct Installation
- This installation method is not recommended as long-term stress can easily cause material aging and cracking.
It is usually used as a backup method.
Method B - Using Quick Release Base
- Install the Quick Release Base onto the strap, ensuring the strap passes underneath the base.
-
Installation video for the Quick Release Base
-
After attaching the Velcro, pull it slightly to both sides to ensure the hooks are fully embedded in the loop side, preventing it from falling off.
Prying from one side makes it easier to remove the tracker directly from the Quick Release Base.
Method C - Using Wide Straps
- One end of the Wide Strap comes with built-in Velcro. Install the tracker or Quick Release Base on it.
The extra single-piece Velcro in the box serves as a backup.
3 - Body Wearing Positions
Head/Thigh: 60 cm
Upper Arm/Calf/Foot: 40 cm
Palm/Forearm: 25 cm
Please refer to the wearing positions shown in the image.
It is recommended to place the chest/waist trackers on the back,
and the leg trackers can be placed on the side.
Keep the tracker button facing upwards.
Do not place the waist tracker at the navel to prevent it from being squeezed,
and leg trackers should avoid areas where muscles bulge into slopes.
Do not place the thigh trackers too close to the knees.
Wearing in VR mode has some differences,
but it is recommended to check that all trackers work properly first.
and the bindings between numbers and positions are preset at the factory.
Only the 4 trackers on the forearms and palms can have their positions swapped via the software,
other trackers cannot swap positions.
4 - Install Software & Check Firmware Update
A - Install Software
- Version Selection:
V01 - Suitable for environments with stable magnetic fields, recommended for dancing.
V02 Beta02 - Optimized by default for the 6-tracker set, using a new algorithm that actively detects strong interference sources, even maintaining orientation on a spring bed.
If using V01 version in VR mode, some settings need to be changed.
Open [Set 'SteamVR'Nodes] → Turn off [Left/Right Upper Arm]
Details
but it was found that this feature could not auto-check. This has been fixed in the V02 Beta02 software.
→ [Motion Params] → Turn off [Vertical IK & Horizontal IK]
Details
but it accidentally stayed in a globally active state. This has been fixed in the V02 Beta02 software.
- Recommended to install on a non-system drive (do not install on C drive).
B - Connect to Computer
- Plug the USB receiver into the computer, choosing a port with clear space around it.
- Or use the included USB extension cable for external connection. (Standard USB 3.0 cables on the market)
- If the tracker signal cannot maintain at 100%, change the position of the receiver.
- Click "Connect" in the software (connection is automatic in Beta02 and later versions).
- Press the tracker button to power on.
- Note: Trackers are powered off through the software.
C - Check Firmware
- Upgrade to the highest available version in the options.
- This version will change with future software updates.
- Firmware is packaged within the software installer and does not update online.
View the supported firmware versions for the corresponding software.
When switching back to older software, you need to downgrade the firmware accordingly.
release_v01 - ◼️tracker: V6 / V7 , 📡receiver: V6 / V7
release_v02 beta02 - ◼️tracker: V15 , 📡receiver: V6 / V7

-
Open the log window to view the actual firmware version of each tracker
(the log window is located under "Connect and Power Off" in the software). -
Trackers are updated wirelessly 📶 — no USB data cable is required.
🚫 Do not update the tracker and receiver at the same time.
If the tracker update fails, consider turning off half of the trackers to stabilize the data upload. Trackers with the correct firmware version in the logs can remain turned off. -
If the update fails, restart the tracker and click update again.
🟩Green light – Fast flash: Tracker is working normally
🟩Green light – Slow flash: Tracker is waiting for receiver signal
🟦Blue light: Tracker is receiving firmware data
🟨Yellow light: Update failed (manually press the 🔘 button to restart, then update again)
⬜White light: Update successful (usually restarts automatically after 10s; if it fails to restart automatically, a manual restart is required) -
When the 📡receiver update is completed, disconnect and re-insert the USB, then 🔄restart the software.
5 - Calibrate Tracker Initial Data
Gyroscope Calibration
- Place the trackers on the floor (in a position with no physical shaking/movement).
- No need to put them back in the Blister Tray.
- Click the button and wait for the acquisition to complete.
- The principle is to record a few seconds with absolutely no shaking in reality.
- Once completed, check the gyroscope info of each tracker.
- Normally, the output value of the gyroscope should be between 0 and ±0.05 when stationary.
Magnetic Field Calibration
- Install the trackers in reverse into the charging case, leaving an empty slot between each.
- A maximum of 8 trackers can be loaded per round. Calibrate them in two batches. Trackers not participating in the calibration must be turned off.
- Hold it in your arms, stand in the center of your play area,
- Or one step away from the edge of the computer desk.
- Click the software button and follow the animation sequence displayed by the software to rotate at a constant speed.
- (The recording process captures data for two full turns per side).
- Once completed, flip the Charging Case freely in your hands,
- 🔍Check if the magnetic readings of the calibrated trackers are consistent or close,
- ⚠️If the magnetic field readings differ significantly from each other, you need to perform magnetic calibration again.
What if I don't have or lost the charging case?
You can use straps to secure the trackers to a square water bottle or tissue box,
in groups of 2-3.
Simple Magnetic Calibration
As a convenient alternative.
Main action:
Rotate the tracker during recording to cover as many directions as possible (360° all-round flipping).
Tip:
Move your wrists and arms in a "figure 8" shape so the sensor can capture magnetic field data from more angles.
Can't see this button in older versions?
This button is not displayed by default in older versions,
You need to manually create a specific .txt file to make it appear.
Go to the Rebocap root folder (where Rebocap.exe is located),
Create a new .txt file and rename it to
_simple_cal_
After restarting the software, the button will appear.
6 - Run Tracker System
From there, you can proceed to use it for animation recording, virtual avatars, or VR games.
It won't work in the viewer after calibration is complete
Restart the rebocap software.
This is usually caused by not restarting the software after updating the receiver firmware,
some Windows systems may recognize the updated receiver as a second device.
Calibration Posture Guide
- Keep proper foot spacing, neither too close nor too wide, similar to the image.
- Stand naturally and relaxed, no need to tense your muscles.
- Spread your arms horizontally.
- Sometimes muscle memory differs from actually stretching the hands straight, so take a visual check.
- Half squat + bend waist + lower head, so that the trackers can determine the forward direction of the body through the tilt angle.
- Keep legs balanced + knee spacing, with arms parallel facing forward.
- If bending is difficult or unclear, you can use Advanced Calibration.
- Separate the S Pose bending + head lowering into a separate bowing movement for recording.
- This avoids body distortion caused by S Pose
(commonly seen as the skeleton system tilting to the side after sitting down).
PC Mode
In-App Recording
- .rebo_anim is the software's native data format. For long recordings, it is recommended to export it as a backup, and it can be replayed using [Offline Playback].
- .bvh files cannot be saved in folder paths containing Chinese characters.
- Directly saved fbx is a skeleton file used for traditional animation and needs to be remapped in editing tools. In most cases, do not turn on [Root Animation] to avoid file errors after export.
Virtual Idol (VTube)
- Software like VMirror, TikTok Live Companion, MetaVance, etc., have corresponding features for direct use.
- Supports using VMC channel to connect to idol software like Warudo.
VR Mode
Connection
- Start SteamVR.
- (SteamVR Headset = Rebocap Head Tracker).
- Select [VR Mode] in Rebocap, and then click "Calibrate".
- Please calibrate while SteamVR is running to ensure a successful connection.
- Once calibration is complete,
you will see the refreshed butterfly logo in the SteamVR list.
- To enter SteamVR later, simply repeat this section's steps.
- Rebocap ID + 3 = SteamVR ID
Tracker Usage in VR Mode
🧤 Up to 14 trackers can be used when using [Replace Controller Position] or tracking gloves.
💻 Up to 15 trackers can be used when using [VR Output] (simulating headset coordinates). *(Only for technical players to explore)*
VR – Calibration Posture Guide
- Raise the VR controllers to avoid the trackers capturing the magnets in the controllers.
- Keep proper foot spacing, neither too close nor too wide, similar to the image.
- Stand naturally and relaxed, no need to tense your muscles.
- Spread your arms horizontally.
- Sometimes muscle memory differs from actually stretching the hands straight, so take a visual check.
- Half squat + bend waist + lower head, so that the trackers can determine the forward direction of the body through the tilt angle.
- Keep legs balanced + knee spacing, with arms parallel facing forward.
- If bending is difficult or unclear, you can use Advanced Calibration.
- Separate the S Pose bending + head lowering into a separate bowing movement for recording.
- This avoids body distortion caused by S Pose
(commonly seen as the skeleton system tilting to the side after sitting down).
Enter Game (Example: VRChat)
- Check the refreshed butterfly logo in the SteamVR list.
With tracking point information available, VRChat will display the Full Body Tracking toggle.
- Open the in-game Quick Menu, and then click "Calibrate".
- Align the tracking points symmetrically on the avatar's body.
It is not necessary for the tracking points to align perfectly, as every avatar's body proportions differ.
- Press the triggers on both hands to complete the binding of tracking points.
