Sixense’s Siege VR takes advantage of VR motion controllers

Virtual reality immerses your eyes in another world, but it still isn’t that great at bringing the rest of you into it. The HTC Vive and Oculus Rift have tried to bring your hands in with motion controllers, but they’re not all that accurate.

That’s why there’s still promise for other solutions like Sixense’s STEM VR controllers. I saw them at the recent SVVR event in San Jose, Calif., where I tried out Sixense’s medical app. I also played with Sixense’s Siege VR on the HTC Vive. It’s a simple two-player game where you shoot arrows at approaching attackers who are besieging a castle.
