This intriguing slice of kit conceals several linear motors that are built-in to the unique course. These provide the user with a physical action that complements the visuals they are experiencing through a VR headset… so crashing into that virtual wall or battling with the enemy on a medieval battleground will feel more real than e'er!

The Mixed Reality Controller as well tackles some other common weakness… the feeling of belongings unlike objects. Through intensive research and iterations of the design, the team settled on this branched grade that allows the user to configure the controller in many ways, and opens them up to new gripping scenarios!
