Smol Slimes, also known as nRF Trackers, use a protocol called Enhanced ShockBurst (ESB), on Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52 and nRF54L series System-on-Chip (SoC) devices. These trackers are highly power-efficient and require only a small battery, often lasting for days or even weeks—significantly longer than traditional ESP (WiFi-based) SlimeVR trackers. A receiver (or dongle) is needed to bridge communication between the trackers and the SlimeVR Server. This setup does not work with standalone Quest headsets unless OSC (Open Sound Control) is used via a connected computer.
