-Smoothing - the higher the number, the smoother the tracking - but also creates more latency.
+Once created, give the body a **unique name** and choose a **unique Streaming ID**.
+Adjust some additional properties if necessary:
+  * **Smoothing**:  The higher the number, the smoother the movements - but also creates more latency
+  * **Max Deflection**: The maximum distance, in millimeters, that a marker may deviate from its expected position before it is not considered as a part of the rigid body. Lower values creating a more accurate solve but with a higher risk of gaps in the data. Higher deflection settings can allow for more continuous data, but with the potential for less accuracy in the rigid body tracking.
