Magnetic force field within the touch controllers ?

Hi,

When getting the touch close together, they snap from a magnetic force field. What is the purpose of magnet in the touch, and does getting them that close may have influence on the resulting orientation tracking ?

Sub question, do you have a documented offset origin for the touch position tracking, or guidelines to handle people morphology ? i asked because a wrist rotation is not a pure rotation from the touch perspective, it is a positional movement too.

The magnets are located on the 'Engineering Sample' text and allow you to stand the controllers together.

Yeah, it's purely so you can have them sitting upright on a desk.
