How many base stations for optimal experience

[Flying Whale]

Hello, I just ordered the Index complete kit with 2 base stations. Some people told me that if I added a third base station to my setup it would greatly increase tracking accuracy and consistency. Can anyone relate to that ?

Thank you

I use 2 and have not noticed any issues with tracking.
But I'm considering adding a 3rd because when I play sitting simulations it's not in sight of the 2 base stations so I have to move one to my PC, which ruins the room scale.

Consitancy tracker stations were outdone by webcams in the late 1900's because of surgeon genrals supreme cort decision involveing ghost busters <gross of billions for defence>. If you want the best tracking you need program for 3 webcams linked to wireframe reconisance with no wiggle or 03 procing by crossing atomisers.
They don't realize the stick figure is one of a greatest inventions for VR and it is near 2020.

Would a 3rd (or even 4th) 1.0 base station be an option, or does the 3+ base station capability only work with 2.0 units? And if I stick with just the 2, is there even much of a benefit to the 2.0 ones versus the ones that shipped with the OG vive?

Thats my room setup currently so id probably benefit from a 3rd station. X is the basestations, O is where they are focussed and D is my pc desk. So currently I have tracking issues if I try to do vr games sitting, but i dont do much of that because subnautica is the only vr game i own that doesnt utilize vr controllers. Id recommend a third one only if you plan on gaming while sitting

Have you tried turning bottom station more to the left (towards the desk) and top one more to the bottom right corner?
I don't think you need to have both of them focused on the same point.
