QUESTION REGARDING 3RD SENSOR

I have thought about getting a 3rd sensor, but wanted to ask the group if there is any experiences that are notable with the 3rd sensor that would justify the purchase...

    Much better coverage. Can turn around in your virtual world without hiccups or tracking issues. The 360 setup in VR imho is a whole different experience than the front-facing setup.

    You no longer have to keep your feet planted in place to get the best tracking.

  • Do you have to buy additional cables- if so what kind, in order to get the sensor to the back of the room, i imagine you have to run it along the baseboard etc..

    The sensor includes one usb 2.0 5m active cable, but if you want the best possible result I recommend you buy a usb 3.0 active cable. Active usb 3.0 cables that work with the sensor you can see here

  • I purchased a third sensor in order to play Racket Nx without losing my racket when turning around.
  • I'm using the third sensor with included usb 2.0 cable. I had to plug it into a usb 3 port to recognize it but it works fine with roomscale setup at 7x7feet.. awesome!
