Hello guys,
I need your help to find out if it's possible to create an Obi Rope between 2 trackers?
The idea is to make an extinguisher with a tracker on the "body" of the extinguisher, and an extinguisher at the end of the extinguisher nozzle with a hose connecting the 2 ends. As shown in the photo.

The problem is that the trackers on Unity (ViveTracker or Meta Quest controllers used as trackers) are always positioned at (0, 0, 0). What's more, the ropes are very sensitive to gravity, collisions etc... And so with the trackers always moving (or almost), the rope has trouble staying in place and does 'tricks'. For example, it always turns like a 'skipping rope' around an axis.

Has anyone tried this before? Do you have any advice for this particular case? I'm sure I'm not the first person to want to create a flexible linked by 2 trackers
