Full body tracking (FBT) for VR: FBT tracks body movements and maps them to an avatar. It improves immersion and expression in VR. Three FBT approaches: Lighthouse-based tracking: accurate, expensive, needs base stations. IMU tracking: cheap, wireless, drifts easily. FBE: simplest, not true FBT, limited accuracy. FBT market trends: Lighthouse-based tracking is dominant, but costly. IMU tracking is rising, with open-source projects like SlimeVR. FBE is the cheapest option with Standable for SteamVR
