On October 12, 2013 Sixense closed its Kickstarter campaign after raising over $600,00 from 2,383 backers. The purpose of the campaign was to raise money for the STEM System: a third-party hardware solution capable of providing positional tracking and hand controllers to virtual reality headsets.

VR headsets continue to be interesting avenues for movie production crews to promote their films, often immersing fans and those curious in an experience that adds another layer of understanding to the work it relates to.

Last week at both the Mobile World Congress and Game Developers Conference we got hands-on with the HTC Vive’s Tracker peripheral once more, and one of the best uses for it we saw was to enable full-body tracking in VR.
