HTC Vive for gamers

HD haptic feedback and intuitive gestures mean playing games and interacting with the virtual world comes naturally. Vive’s two wireless controllers feature 24 sensors for unobstructed movement, meaning you can do more in VR than ever before.

Haptic or kinesthetic communication recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.This mechanical stimulation can be used to assist in the creation of virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control such virtual objects, and to enhance the remote control of machines and devices. Haptic devices may incorporate tactile sensors that measure forces exerted by the user on the interface.

Intuitive gesture:gesture sensing through intuition rather than from reasoning or observation

Multifunctional track pad provides effortless precision and HD haptic feed back.Dual stage triggers with HD haptic feed back brings VR experience to a new level.Two handheld controllers each have 24 sensors for accurate tracking.
