owoTrack App
owoTrack is a mobile application that can be used for VR tracking using your phone. The application uses SlimeVR Server for tracking. To set up SlimeVR Server, refer to SlimeVR setup guide.
If you're using trackers/phones with owoTrack app for tracking, there is minimum amount of 5 trackers/phones for full body tracking. One phone can be used if you want only waist tracking. Waist tracking can also work with owoTrack SteamVR driver, without SlimeVR.
Your PC and trackers/phones should connected to the same local network.

FAQ
How many trackers or phones do I need to use for leg tracking?
You need at least 5 trackers or phones for FBT using SlimeVR.
I heard I could use 3 phones for leg tracking
You can't. You will have a bad time, and that's not our fault. Your knees won't bend and it's an overall worst experience. Required minimum is 5.
I have only one/two phones
You can use the official owoTrack driver for waist or SlimeVR Server for waist (+ chest if you have 2 phones). This will not track your legs.
I try to run SlimeVR but nothing happens. Why?
Refer to the SlimeVR setup guide for how to set up SlimeVR.
My trackers are connected to the SlimeVR Server, but they are not moving in SteamVR
Make sure you have the correct roles selected in the SlimeVR Server for your trackers/phones. They should be Waist, Left Uppper Leg, Right Uppper Leg, Left Lower Leg and Right Lower Leg.
To learn how to set up tracker roles, refer to SlimeVR setup guide.
My controller is a tracker. How do I fix this?
You need to assign roles to your trackers in SteamVR:
- In SteamVR, go to Settings > Devices > Manage Trackers.
- In the tracker list, find the ones named
/devices/SlimeVR/SlimeVRTracker#
and give them the roles WAIST, LEFT_FOOT, RIGHT_FOOT from top to bottom. - Restart SteamVR.
To learn how to set up tracker roles, refer to SlimeVR setup guide.
In what order should I start SteamVR and SlimeVR Server?
The order does not matter.
My phone isn't connecting to the server
Check that the IP is correct.
You can input 255.255.255.255 as IP to owoTrack Android app
To check your IP address, you can open the PowerShell window or Command Prompt window (cmd.exe) and execute ipconfig
command and get your PC IPv4 address field - for example 192.168.1.2 and put it in owoTrack app.
I have an iPhone and it disconnects after 10 minutes
Apple has restrictions on apps for networking in background. The workaround for this is currently being investigated.
To workaround this:
- Enable Guided Access. You can find this setting in Settings > Accessibility > Guided Access.
- Disable screen auto-lock. To do this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness, tap Auto-Lock and set it to Never.
- Start owoTrack app.
- Turn down the screen brightness completely to save battery.
Virtual trackers on SteamVR are grayed out
This is expected behavior, check if trackers present in VR.
Other issues
You may also need to set correct firewall settings for owoTrack to work correctly. Download firewall.bat, move it to a directory without spaces or symbols in its name and run the bat file as administrator.
