MANUS Core 2.1 | First Time Setup
Introduction
When you connect a new device, MANUS Core 2.1 will take you through the first time setup to configure your device.
First, choose a name for your user profile
Then, depending on the hardware, the first time setup will take you through different steps. You can set up gloves, trackers, or both. You can also skip the process altogether and set up everything manually.
MANUS Quantum Metagloves
First, MANUS Core will check for connected dongles and gloves.
If your devices are connected wired or in the pairing mode, they will light up green. If they are not detected, the icons will remain greyed out.
Once your devices are connected, you will be able to calibrate your gloves.
Calibration
There are three steps to calibrate each MANUS Quantum Metaglove.
Step 1
Place your hand on a flat surface and close your fingers, but point your thumb outwards. Then, hold still while the sensor data is being collected.
Step 2
Raise your hand and make a fist, and again hold still.
Step 3
Touch the base of the palm of your hand repeatedly with your fingertips. Continue till the calibration step is complete.
Repeat the same steps for your other glove.
MANUS Prime Gloves
First, MANUS Core will check for connected gloves and dongles.
If your devices are connected wired or in the pairing mode, they will light up green. If they are not detected, the icons will remain greyed out.
Once your devices are connected, you will be able to calibrate your Prime gloves.
Calibration
There are three steps to calibrate each Prime Series glove.
Step 1
Make a fist: close your fingers and rest the thumb on the side. Then, wait for the calibration of this step to complete.
Step 2
Straighten the fingers and bend the thumb. Again, hold still till the step is complete.
Step 3
Make a pistol: straighten your index finger and thumb , and close all other fingers. Wait for the calibration to complete.
Do the same for your other glove.
Gloves with trackers
First, MANUS Core will check for connected gloves and dongles.
If your devices are connected wired or in the pairing mode, they will light up green. If they are not detected, the icons will remain greyed out.
Once your devices are connected, you will be able to calibrate your gloves. (see previous chapters)
After you complete the calibration for your gloves, you can configure your Tracking System.
MANUS Core supports OpenVR(SteamVR) and ART tracking.
If you accidentally choose the setup with trackers and you only want to configure the gloves, you can either choose “None” from the dropdown menu or skip this step.
With the tracking system configured, you can assign the trackers to the gloves in the Profile Settings.
Trackers only
If you only want to configure trackers, you will see a menu where you can choose between OpenVR (SteamVR) and ART.
You will also see the framerate (updates per second).
After you configure your tracking system, you can assign the trackers to body parts in the Profile Settings. You can configure just the hands or the entire body.
