Yea, this article isn’t giving the full details. I’m sure posting URLs is frowned upon in comments here, so I’ll just say that there’s an article with all of the info over at Upload VR.
Yea, just trying to help clear up the confusion. It’s also worth noting that developers have stated they have no problem with using two sensors in opposing corners working pretty well for roomscale, so the ~800 dollars should be enough for most people.
Rift comes with 1 sensor, touch controllers come with 1 sensor, a third can be bought for $79. Lots of confusion in these comments here about this.
$600 is a rift + 1 sensor, $200 is the touch controllers + 1 sensor. They’re suggesting a third sensor for roomscale, which would make it ~$880.
The $199 price comes with a second sensor already, so $278 actually.
