# SlimeVR

- [SlimeVR Documentation](https://docs.slimevr.dev/)

> SlimeVR is a set of open hardware sensors and open source software that facilitates full-body tracking (FBT) in virtual reality. 

SlimeVR is an open source IMU based full body tracking system. Being open source it has Linux support and there are a few variants you can either buy or build yourself.

You can pre-order the official SlimeVR trackers from [their crowdsupply page](https://www.crowdsupply.com/slimevr/slimevr-full-body-tracker), but at the time of writing this if you order them right now you'd need to wait approximately 4 months for your orders to ship, due to how cheap and popular they are compared to other solutions.

## Building

Alternatively you can build it on your own, and you have a few variants to choose from:

- [Official SlimeVR DIY builders guide](https://docs.slimevr.dev/diy/index.html)
- [Frozen Slimes V2](https://github.com/frosty6742/frozen-slimes-v2)
  - while a bit bigger, Frozen Slimes V2 tend to be cheaper and a lot easier to build, being approachable even for people that are inexperienced with soldering

## SlimeVR app
