Installing themounting adapter
1. Tundra Tracker Users
Remove tracker baseplate
Remove the two screws that secure the baseplate. Do not lose the screws during removal.
Mounting the adapter
Remove the mounting adapter for the Tundra Tracker from the case and fix it to the tracker using the screws you removed earlier. There is a direction to install the adapter, so please install it in the same direction as the photo above.
2. For Vive Tracker users
Mounting the adapter
Remove the mounting adapter for Vive Tracker from the case and fix it using the included screws as shown in the image above.
TIP
By using the dedicated adapter for the Tundra Tracker, the height of the
tracker can be made shorter and less likely to shake. If you frequently use
the tracker outside of the ContactGlove, attaching the Vive Tracker adapter to
the Tundra Tracker makes it easier to remove the adapter. (*The height of the
tracker will be higher than when using the dedicated adapter.)
Attach tracker to ContactGlove body
Align the tracker with the rail and slide it until it clicks into place.
The hardware related setup is now complete!

[Notes]
- To recognize ContactGlove as a controller, it needs to be recognized in the order of ContactGlove -> Tracker for Gloves.
- Turning off the power of either one will result in the other being recognized as a controller.
- To enable position tracking of ContactGlove, recognition of the Glove Tracker is required.
- In cases of extremely poor communication with ContactGlove, the device recognition may be lost, and the Glove Trackermay become the controller. Turn off the Tracker’s power, confirm that ContactGlove is recognized, and then turn the Tracker’s power back on. If the issue persists, try turning off the controller switching enable option.
Controller Switching Enable: OFF
Regardless of the power and communication status of ContactGlove, its
recognition is maintained from the startup of SteamVR.
