### OpenXRViveTracker Plugin
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike the [PCVR-mode on Windows](../pcvr-mode/), the `OpenXRViveTracker` plugin is not required on Android since it only provides an implementation of the `XR_HTCX_vive_tracker_interaction` OpenXR extension which is necessary when we use VIVE Trackers on Windows or we [emulate the VIVE Wrist Trackers as VIVE Trackers on Windows](../pcvr-mode/#vive-business-streaming-app). Instead, we require the `XR_HTCX_vive_wrist_tracker_interaction` OpenXR extension to be able to use VIVE Wrist Trackers on Android, which is provided by the [`ViveOpenXR` plugin](#viveopenxr-plugin). So, you can safely ignore enabling this plugin for Android standalone deployments.
