Playstation Move controllers that were included with the PSVR headset. Oculus Touch controllers were just announced to ship late in 2016. With an emphasis on active experiences and the success of tracked controllers, keyboard and mouse input has become virtually nonexistent. Xbox controller. Steam compatible controller.

Yesterday for the first time I have attended the Vive Ecosystem Conference in Shenzhen, China! President has highlighted that the Focus Plus is not just a Vive Focus with two 6 DOF controllers, but it has also a better weight balancing and new improved lenses (I will tell you my impressions on the device in my next post).

Intel earlier this year showed a standalone aiming for release late this year that offered limited and awkward hand controls and it isn’t clear what virtual worlds would be accessible through the headset. Unfortunately, these controllers may only work well when they are in view of the headset’s sensors.

Leap Motion. You may ask why I’m adding Leap Motion here. Well, during 2018, Leap Motion has announced the North Star reference design : a cheap augmented reality connected to PC, that is able to detect your hands very well thanks to Leap Motion’s sensor.

The technology claims to offer the rider genuine interactivity and ‘complete agency’ over the experience, including real-time control of the motion profile. The graphics, story integration to the motion profile and the gesture interactivity were all created in-house for their proprietary Interact system.

The Reverb was already a very good headset (as you can read in my hands-on impressions ) with good comfort and an astonishing resolution, but it had some problems with the display (mura, red smearing) and with the controllers (classical mediocre WMR tracking). built in to headband Controllers ?—?6DOF pounds (0.55kg) Cable Length: 19.5

While the same consumer-facing headsets that you’ll find on a shelf at Best Buy are popping up in VR arcades across China and elsewhere, Sensics is aiming to build a VR headset that’s optimized for the Out-of-Home market, consisting of businesses like theme parks, entertainment venues and arcades.

It seems that Mark is still working on that vision, so that in the end, Facebook will be able to do on its devices whatever it wants, without compromises and without control. A company of this kind, with full control and no restrictions, could do great things on the tech side, but very bad things on the privacy side.

SenseGlove is currently producing its DK1 device , that can be used both with Vive systems (in this case, a Vive Tracker is attached to the gloves to provide the positional tracking) or Oculus systems (in this case, the Oculus Touch controllers are used). It has not been thought for games, but more for enterprise uses like training.

While HTC is only releasing the headset in China, and not in the West as previously announced, the company is using Vive Focus as the impetus for its own mobile VR platform that aims to resolve what HTC calls a “highly fragmented” mobile VR market in China, and become a common platform and storefront across disparate hardware vendors.

But, we do know that the Santa Cruz features four ultra-wide cameras on the leading edges that perform the inside-out positional tracking, as well as tracking the 6DOF controllers. Besides, the bundle includes two controllers, the Lighthouse base stations, some ear buds plus games copies, creating a whole “VR-room” environment for users.

Awesome controllers. The Vive Focus has inside-out 6DOF tracking but has only a damn 3 DOF controller. Well, actually, I should say “had” 6 DOF controller emulation. This means that the tracking of the controller can now be fast and reliable enough to be released to the Vive Focus users. (Image by HTC).

The controllers are great and let you finally also throw objects in VR and give you all five fingers. Me trying a SteamVR multiroom setup in Beijing, China. the headset alone $500 and the headset+controllers will be priced at $750.

The documentation was the same as before, if not for the fact that in the page about headset Input page, there was also a reference to “Oculus Jedi” controllers. Even the modified one with the header file talking about controllers just leaks the constant of their name. Something like the Valve Index controllers.
