Nod Labs & Ximmerse

The November meetup is focusing on VR input solutions including haptic and tracking systems from XIMMERSE and a hand held 6DOF input controller from Nod Labs. Come and try bringing your hands into VR!

XIMMERSE builds mobile VR input devices, especially for use with head-mounted displays. (See http://www.ximmerse.com/) At the meetup, they will demonstrate a stereo camera-based system that tracks joysticks, haptic gloves and head position inside-out. It can also track bare hand gestures and record VR videos. The speaker, Davy, will share his experience in hardware manufacturing and his understanding of VR interaction.
