The latest update to Oculus Home has added the ability to connect multiple camera sensors, preparing the virtual reality technology for the launch of Oculus Touch later this year.
According to TechCrunch, the update will enhance movement tracking, and developers will now be able to access precise room-scale setups. Touch will add motion controllers to Oculus' repertoire, making it more competitive with the gaming experiences of the HTC Vive.
Up to four sensors can now be connected, however it is believed developers will only use two, especially considering the Touch will only launch with one additional Oculus sensor. Plus, the camera sensors are not currently sold separately.
TechCrunch reports the sensors are generally set up four feet from each other in front of the user, meaning the space will be smaller than the 15 x 15 feet setups the HTC Vive can have.
The Oculus Rift was released earlier this year, and IGN's review says using it "for the first time is magical." After some early shipping problems, all Oculus Rift pre-orders have now shipped.
