Stem redesign and 3 month delay
Due to some redesign work, the Stem system is now going to ship in October instead of July.

Originally, Stem consisted of 3 parts: Stem sensors, Stem packs and Stem hand controllers. The Stem pack is the unit that you attach to body parts and contains the force feedback and battery. The sensor is the actual bit that does the tracking, and needs to be plugged into a pack or hand controller. The new design integrates the sensor into the pack and hand controller.
That shouldn't affect most of us (I ordered the version with 2 hand controllers, 3 packs and 5 sensors), although the larger versions might have to change a bit (the $1000 version included 5 hand controllers, 5 packs and 5 sensors, 10 devices total but only 5 could have a sensor attached at once).
The new design is looking pretty cool (there's pics on the kickstarter update page) and apparently the new design reduces some latency issues, mechanical stability and environmental distortion.
