For native Quest 2 (stand alone), there's no option. There's also no support in any game on the Oculus store (Rift or Quest store).
If you are using the Quest 2 with Link or Airlink connected to a PC and running a SteamVR game that supports body tracking (a fairly limited range), then the standard way is to buy:
- two Lighthouse base stations
- one Vive tracking puck with usb dongle for each body part you want to track (besides hands if you use Quest 2 controllers)
Then use software to synchronize the tracking systems (Quest 2 is incompatible with Lighthouse tracking, so you've got two different tracking systems handling different body parts, they can go out of sync).
Tracking pucks are $129.99 each. Vive base stations are $199 each.
Which is a fair amount to play VRChat with legs.
Another option is go full motion capture suit, but that will be $1500+.
Or you can wait to see how SlimeVR works out. https://www.crowdsupply.com/slimevr/slimevr-full-body-tracker
It's a full body tracking system where a 5 tracker system costs just $190 total. But it's a crowd funded thing that's not due for another 6 months or more.
I backed it, I know one of the developers. 🙂
