>it's not consumer, open source
I know it's not consumer, that's my fucking point. I would have to buy a bunch of these sensors, design and print my own casing, put it all together myself to have something that doesn't work as well as the already existed off the shelf vive tracker.

They also mention that they still have problems to work out concerning noise(which reduces tracking accuracy), calibration, and adapting to 2.0 light houses which will require an FPGA as their current microcontroller is cannot do what is required for that alone. The FPGA will increase battery drain. 

Don't get me wrong, I wish these things were a valid replacement for the Vive tracker, but currently they are too early in their development and it doesn't look like they've done much in the last year so I have little hope that we'll ever see a finished product come out of this project.
