# VIVE Tracker Setup Guide

## Portalgraph Settings

Launch an application built with Portalgraph and open the settings screen (by default, press F12). Check the "Auto-launch Tracker App" option, then select "OpenVR" from the dropdown below it. The VIVE Tracker tracking software will launch automatically the next time the application starts.

#### Initial Setup

When you launch the VIVE Tracker tracking software for the first time, a message will appear prompting you to modify the settings, as shown below. Since VIVE Trackers are configured by default to be used together with a VR headset, the settings need to be changed to allow use without a headset. Click "Fix," then follow the on-screen instructions to quit SteamVR and relaunch the VIVE Tracker tracking software (registered in the Start menu as "Tracker Portalgraph").

In the **Tracker Position** dropdown, select **Forehead** and click **Apply**. This sets up the tracker to be mounted on your forehead (choose the appropriate option based on your intended mounting position).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://portalgraphvr.gitbook.io/portalgraph-document-en/how-to-use-portalgraph-app/vive-tracker-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
