Sixense's five-piece motion-controller STEM System takes to Kickstarter

[Administrator]

Sixense, the developer of the Razer Hydra PC motion-controller, has launched a new Kickstarter for its five-part motion-controller, the STEM System.
The STEM System will track the full position and orientation of up to five motion-tracking modules that can be attached to a player's body - typically with one on each limb and another on one's head. Relative to the Razer Hydra, STEM will "include longer range, wireless operation, modular form factor, and better tracking performance at all ranges."
Sixense boasts that the STEM features the lowest latency of any wireless consumer motion-control system, and since its modules don't rely on inertial sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers for position tracking, it won't drift over time so you wont have to worry about the calibration getting all wonky.
