Because of the inherent nature of IMU tracking, slimes have lots of issues with tracking. From my understanding, various algorithms exist in the code that attempt to fix this (e.g. the recent stay aligned update, the various calibration poses etc). Yet none fix the issue entirely and they all rely on manual tuning of various parameters.

To me, this sounds like a problem where ML would be worth trying. Especially with so much training data available, from many people using slimeVR. Even without a true reference available for this data, it might still be possible to figure something out.
