Oculus VR announced today that the Oculus Rift will be able to use Xbox One controllers as an input device, but it ended its conference with a surprise: a new, dedicated input device for hand-tracking called Oculus Touch.
The Touch is actually two wireless controllers that mirror each other. They each feature traditional button layouts and analog sticks, but they also have a dedicated button to finger movement. Founder Palmer Luckey said the company prioritized a method that would work with traditional games, but also be low-impact and feel natural for motion and VR experiences.
At E3, Oculus Touch will be shown with a Toybox demo, which will allow users to manipulate several objects like toy robots or a tetherball pole, using the input device. Oculus didn't mention when Touch will ship. We'll have more details from the show floor.
