Last August we tried launching the Kickstarter but didn't get to our funding goal. We didn't stop working on the project and have now relaunched showing more advanced prototypes of the PrioVR system and more interactive demos.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yeitechnology/priovr-suit-up-game-on

Changes from last time:

Advanced in-house prototypes being used for videos instead of existing 3-Space Sensors

No wired only option

All tiers come with controllers

Lite renamed to Core

LZ renamed to Lite

New Demos!!!

You can see the top of my head in the video for like 3-4 frames around 1:38 in the video. :p

Glad I got in there for the pro early birds.

Great to see it funded already!

Those Pro early birds were all gone 15 min after the kickstarter launched! What a bummer. Add more early-birds! :D

Either way, pretty excited to see how this all goes by the end of the campaign.

Titans of Space PLUS for Quest is now available on DrashVR.com

I am really curious what this technology can do. The reaction seems to be unanimously positive, but this is from people using PrioVR in a controlled environment, surrounded by YEI guys, and playing for probably less than 10 minutes.

I personally think this is the best input controller so far, despite its obvious flaws (you have to wear a suit?). I really would like the YEI guys to release more information about their product. How do they plan to integrate this? What is the accuracy? Etc...

We are going to be attending 3 events in the next month for people to try it out.
CDVR Meetup February 28, 2014
SXSW March 7 - 11, 2014
GDC March 17-21, 2014

The final specs of the PrioVR is still to be determined but the sensor component specs as well as the accuracy will be similar to the existing YEI 3-Space line. Communication will also be similar to the existing YEI 3-Space Sensors as it will make a virtual com port to allow applications to interface with the devices. The hand controllers currently show up as a HID joystick.

We will provide all the demo source code as example to work with the system along with the SDK and likely its source as well.
A Unity and UDK example are planned as well as a Mocap Studio for motion capture.

Anything else you want to know?

I would love to see a demo of the PrioVR being used for fine motion control at the hands (e.g. manipulating small objects, controlling UIs in the virtual world à la MakeVR), as opposed to gross limb movements (e.g. martial arts moves, swinging a baseball bat in the PrioVR demos).

Thanks

I will try to get more fine motion into an update video, if not next week then maybe later in the campaign.

Also, update video 1 posted!
