Rift Touch is identical to Vive wands in room scale..

..pretty much, according to Amazing Contraptions developer!

Ergonomically speaking, I have a feeling it will be less cumbersome and more intuitive.  I'm looking forward to it.

I agree, and this is was the main factor in my purchase decision, despite the additional delay.

identical...... except for availability.... and known price

@DaftnDirect
Did you miss the announcement? Touch is $10 and will have free same-day shipping, starting tomorrow. They have 36 billion units manufactured so far, so they're not expecting shortages.

lol, true.  
I've begun to accept this whole fiasco as a solid lesson in patience, as I've had absolutely none lately.

@weasel47, you know after the last 24 hours... my humour muscle is all shriveled up

...I'm probably not the only one who needs a beer before venturing onto these forums lately

Many lessons from which to learn. Patience is one of them. Trust, obedience, humility, tact, business ethics to name a few more.

Back on point, Touch controllers will be great. I'm predicting a 2017 launch.

Except …it is  not.

Developer clearly stated that they have to REDESIGN game to
put everything IN FRONT of the player to avoid occlusion (even with 2 cameras).
Somehow they suggest that BOTH cameras should be placed on the desk IN FRONT of
the player to ensure no occlusion for touch controllers.
