this is oculus touch these are going to
take virtual reality gaming to the next
level come on let's clap let's do it
ah-ha oculus touch is a pair of track
controllers that we've created to take
VR to the next level there's two
controllers one for each hand you have
two hands they're mirror images of each
other like the two hands that you have
their wireless so you can move and
interact in the virtual world freely
unencumbered by cables they have
integrated high precision low latency
six degree-of-freedom track six degree
of freedom tracking leveraging the same
constellation trash tracking technology
that we use in the rift along with
integrated inertial measurement units
now each of these Halfmoon controllers
has a traditional analog thumb stick two
buttons and an analog trigger but they
also have something else that we call
the hand trigger you can see the trigger
right there under my middle finger
imagine using this to pick up a virtual
gun and then using your index finger to
fire it touch also includes haptics the
developers can use to deliver feedback
when you're interacting with objects in
the virtual world so you can actually
feel the things that you're touching
finally though touch can detect a set of
finger poised using a matrix of Center
sensors mounted throughout the inside of
the device together they work to
recognize natural hand poses like
pointing waving or giving a thumbs up
