Yes! You read it right. Mixed VR set works in VAM! or any other mixed set!
Here is how to do it:
MIXED VR FULLBODY TRACKING GUIDE
OCULUS RIFT S + 2 or more BaseStation 2.0 + 3 or more Vivetrackers (2018)
PREPARATION
=====================================================================
WHAT YOU NEED TO BUY (You must get these obviously):
Oculus Rift S
2 or more BaseStation 2.0 (More BaseStation means more accurate tracking)
3 or more Vive Trackers (2018) (must have atleast 3. You can use upto 7 vive trackers!)
Optional:
These are what I use currently for my Mixed VR full body tracking set on VAM. But you can use different brands.
Tracker Belt - This is basic belt.
If you want tracker belt with battery bank: Tracker belt. I think it’s better get tracker belt with battery bank if you gonna use it a lot.
Vive Tracker Straps - if you are using more than 3 vivetracker you should get these. Not exactly this. You can get whatever you want.
Tripod - Better than drilling your wall I think.
USB Hub - You may not need it but you gonna have to plug lots of USB if you get 3 or 5 Vive Tracker. Vive tracker USB dongle works fine with USB 2.0 but it’s suggested to get USB 3.0 or more.
AA Battery - Oculus Rift S controller use AA battery so you gonna need this.
Battery Charger - This one is quite good IMO. Because it will prevent battery from overcharge and will notice you with indication light and sound if battery is full. It comes with 4 battery and I’m still using it after 1 year.

After you get all above stuff you gonna need to watch this video. This was super useful video for setup mixed vr full body tracking set. Credit to LayLo uwu channel!
MixedVR Vive Full Body Tracking - Complete setup guide
After watch this video do this:
Launch STEAMVR. Go to Devices > Manage Vive trackers
Go to Controllers and Click on MANAGE VIVE TRACKERS
Set all trackers to specific role. If you wearing tracker 1 into your right foot then you put RIGHT FOOT role for that tracker. Do like this to all tracker. It doesn’t matter if you can’t click IDENTIFY TRACKER button. It’s greyed out and I don’t know why
After that launch VAM (OpenVR).bat . NOT VAM.EXE! It is important. In my case I can’t see vive trackers in VAM if i launch VAM.exe.
Done! You should see vive trackers rendered in VAM. Enjoy!
