Our Vive Tracker Tests in the News

Back in late March we acquired a Vive tracker and set to work looking at different potential use cases. The first one was the silliest and involved attaching it to a ceiling fan and battling a hot air balloon. The second and third were more practical, showing how a tracker could be attached to furniture, like a chair, to utilize a real object in virtual space. Earlier this month at the TCG conference in Portland we used it as part of a Tilt Brush / Unity / watch-your-design-come-to-life sorta thing. Anyway, guess which use case is getting the most news coverage? Click the quotes to see the full articles :)

DEVELOPER USES VIVE TRACKER TO BATTLE CEILING FAN

The Vive Tracker simplifies development of virtual reality experiences and allows people to track everything from ceiling fans and kittens, to feet and mobile phones.

It looks a little (very) unsafe, but this shooter in which the Tracker spins around the real world on a fan to make a moving target just scratches the surface of what might be possible within VR games.
