You must have roomscale tracking for your head and hands (You should be able to move freely around your room). Amethyst is only for lower body tracking. Amethyst can only track your legs, waist, and elbows. It supports all VR headsets that work with SteamVR, and the Meta Quest series of headsets.
When using Kinect, you should stand at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from the sensor and have it at head height pointing down at you. You should be standing 9 feet (3 meters) away for the best tracking.
Any attempt to jank OSC into working remotely is entirely your own responsibility. Please don’t do it. We’re also not giving support for that really old shadow client server thingie that one person made. It’s literally so old might as well be a dinosaur. If we see you asking about Shadow, we will point to this exact spot.How to install Amethyst for PC
Amethyst also works with VRCHAT STANDALONE on Quest via OSC:

By default the following is supported:

- Xbox One Kinect
- PlayStation Move only (For rotation overrides)
- PlayStation Move + Eye (Setup is very involved)
- owoTrack (Also mostly for overrides)
