Re: sixsense, new video
nice, but to be honest. Wouldnt it be better to mount the stems onto the back of your hands and for grabbing use a thumb/index finger contact or even thumb/all different fingers input method to allow multiple input options. So basically a combination of STEM and very comfortable thimbles.
As Oculus' research already suggests walking on the spot is the best solution to avoid very common nausea. So i would forget the thumbsticks.
Basically pressure sensors would fit best to avoid unintentional finger contact inputs.
What do i need the sticks for when i can mount two STEMs onto my feet?
Why 5? If Oculus provides its own head posistional tracking , then Sixense's 5 STEMs would serve all basic bodyparts. Hands, feet and torso.

That's pretty cool. Is this as good as head tracking can be?

Why what's wrong with the head tracking in that video?Krenzo wrote:I hope not.JDuncan wrote:Is this as good as head tracking can be?
Looked pretty accurate with low latency and no jitter.

Re: sixsense, new video
It's still a consumer focused (aka cheap) magnetic based tracking system. I suspect it's going to have the same issues as the Hydra in terms of accuracy and latency. I'm also confused why they're advocating strapping a joystick to your head. Where's the clip on head unit that people were speculating about?

first prototype would be my guess as to the why!Krenzo wrote:It's still a consumer focused (aka cheap) magnetic based tracking system.

Re: sixsense, new video
Yes it's consumer focussed so you have to accept that unless you want to spend $4k (ish) on a pro tracker.Krenzo wrote:It's still a consumer focused (aka cheap) magnetic based tracking system.

As said it's a prototype in the video however if you look at the the press release you'll see they do have the clip on receivers in the image, that's likely to be the focus of the Kickstarter.

Tactical Haptics guys about the STEM:
STEM is sounding better and better!
when asked about range the replied:Tried out the Sixense STEM tracking system today.
It's got great range and appears to be much more accurate than the Hydra.
wireless, 5 points, more accurate and way better range!estimate 8 to 10 feet from base
STEM is sounding better and better!
