If you remember well, HTC was already experimenting with implementing 6 DOF tracking for controllers through a software solution that, tracking the user’s hands, was able to infer the position of the controller (or controllers). We don’t know if the software solution will continue its development on a parallel road, though.

In Taiwan, all western websites work and so you don’t need to set up a VPN just to use Google. Even worse, it wasn’t able to track my finger movements well (it was worse than Leap Motion … and Leap Motion doesn’t have worn sensors!). But the more you stay there, the more you notice that there are differences.
