The tech behind this is fascinating- isn't this just how a wiimote works? So simple yet shocked that no one has thought of this before. Pricing seems incredibly reasonable as well (30$ for a lifetime license). If I didn't have a VR headset I would've bought this instantly.
It's reversed compared to wiimotes, where the controllers are tracking a pair of fixed points. Here the phone is tracking the controllers
Okay “any vr content” means games it seems.
Feedback: I think it would be beneficial to clarify that there is a trial at the top of the page. Currently we have download and buy buttons next to each other, which I assumed meant that the software can be downloaded first, but will require a key you get from ”Buy”.
The images show Switch 1 controllers. Since the Switch 2 is already out, does this imply that the tracking doesn’t work on Switch 2 controllers?
I don’t like the 3 PC activation thing. It implies that the software needs to call home and will stop working if the company goes under. Or, at least, will not be possible to install anew.
