SlimeTora is a program that connects the HaritoraX trackers to the SlimeVR server. This can be used to replace the HaritoraConfigurator (and in-beta VR Manager) software and even get the trackers working on Linux.
TL;DR more accurate tracking, more settings, per-tracker settings, use additional trackers with SlimeVR server, and Linux!
There are few reasons this program exists and why you may consider using it, here are a few of the main ones:
- Tracker accuracy
- You should see massive improvements in terms of the tracker accuracy with SlimeVR. SlimeVR server implements their own "virtual skeletal system" to estimate the positions of the trackers and thus, is more accurate than HaritoraConfigurator.
- Easier resets
- SlimeVR server has different types of resets which might seem confusing (yaw/full/mounting reset), but the main one you would be looking to use is the "Yaw reset".
- This essentially makes the trackers face the direction you are facing which fixes most drifting issues (as they are usually yaw drift). Not only is this much quicker, this also can be used while laying or sitting down - just two taps on the chest (or one physical button click on the) tracker away!
- More settings
- SlimeVR server has many settings to mess with to improve or personalize your tracking - tracker filtering, leg tweaks (like floor clip and toe snapping), etc.
- Per-tracker settings
- SlimeTora allows you to change the settings of each tracker individually (for HaritoraX Wireless), mainly for advanced users.
- Additional trackers
- If you already have other trackers (e.g.
Vive,Mocopi,Joy-Cons,owoTrack, etc), they can be used in pair with the HaritoraX trackers via SlimeVR. - If you already have another pair of HaritoraX trackers, you can also make use of them! Just extract two instances of SlimeTora and run each one.
- It is required you have two separate folders/instances of SlimeTora, as there will be config file conflicts (same MAC address for two separate "rightAnkle" trackers, for example)
- If you already have other trackers (e.g.
- Linux (and macOS) support
- As the SlimeVR server supports Linux (and macOS), SlimeTora also allows you to use your trackers on Linux (and macOS)! Linux users rise up (screw you macOS users /j)!

Due to how the ankle motion detection feature works, it's very difficult to interpret the sensor data (which only gives one direction, up & down) to create virtual feet trackers on SlimeVR. It's been attempted many times to no avail and requires a lot of advanced math that I honestly don't know.
If anyone would like to try to implement it themselves, you can always open a pull request here - help is always appreciated.
Yes! Because I'm so smart (no I'm not) with how I created the program and haritorax-interpreter, you are able to use multiple of the same (or different) HaritoraX tracker sets with SlimeTora.
While not officially supported, you can create a new instance of SlimeTora by extracting the files into another folder, then run both instances at the same time. It is very important you create a new instance/folder as you will experience a "multi-tracker" issue where SlimeVR will receive tracking data from two (or more) completely different trackers.
First, check where the program is coming from - is it SlimeTora or SlimeVR server issue?
