Vive Trackers look to expand your VR controller options

HTC Vive is launching its consumer push for Vive Trackers with accessory bundles and support on the way from a series of software developers.

The highly anticipated accessory can enhance immersion while wearing an HTC Vive by bringing in physical objects like guns or sports rackets — or even your full body –and representing them all accurately in the virtual world. To date, most VR developers represent only the hands or head in their software because those are the only things that can be tracked accurately. Vive Tracker is the first attempt to change that on a consumer scale.
