Sixsense wireless dev kit kickstarter in August

I just noticed this from the Tatical Haptics guys;

Danny Woodall from Sixense, at the Silicon Valley VR Meetup, announces that Sixense will put their wireless dev kit (which they are calling STEM -- Sixense Tracking Embedded Module) on Kickstarter in August, and that it will support tracking up to 5 points (2 of their controllers and 3 other points with pager-sized devices). Their kickstarter will allow backers to get just the 2 controllers, or add up to other tracking modules to their dev kit. They suggested that they would also have tracking modules available separately. — at Hacker Dojo.
Now we know what STEM stands for! And that the kickstarter begins soon. I'm so excited about this!

    They seem to have updated the site with some more info about the STEM system: http://sixense.com/wireless

    Also, new date for the Kickstarter is 9/12 apparently!

    This is definitely something i am excited about. I wonder what the technical specs will be (latency, tracker resolution, tracker "linearity ...") and how it will cost.

    I have a large list of gadgets i use together with the rift - from a leap motion over a wii balance board to a razer hydra.
    To get rid of some cables will always be good.

    You don't find the latency of the hydra to be acceptable?

    Only a couple of hours before the Kickstarter begins - anyone know anything about tiers/pricing?

    Wow, hit its $250k goal in less than a day, and still going strong. Sixsense are ones to watch. Picked up a 3-stem kit myself; figure one for each hand and one on the head. More than that, I'd suspect you'd have problems finding software that supported it.

    It's a devkit; make some software that will support it!
