New VR Developments (Part 4)


The constant quest to become more immersive is inspiring the development of new companion input devices (CID's). Traditionally, VR CID's have been hand controllers, but many new devices are available that allow for greater game immersion. Rifle controllers like the Aim controller used for PSVR allow for first person shooters to become even more realistic for the gamer. Steering devices for driving games and flight combat sims are also popular, but new, more expensive devices are being developed that allow for walking in place, like omnidirectional treadmills. Even more advanced devices allow for full-body suspension and motion tracking.
