Oculus Rift Room-Scale VR Coming

TechCrunch has details on a new update for Oculus Rift to allow the use of one or more additional sensor units to pave the way for room-scale VR, something already available on the HTC Vive (thanks Gamasutra). Here's how this works:

The Rift’s best days are still ahead of it as Facebook’s virtual reality company prepares to drastically improve user experience by introducing its room-scale tracked motion Touch controllers in Q4 of this year.

An update to Oculus Home is apparently prepping for Touch’s arrival by enabling users to connect multiple Oculus camera sensors to enhance movement tracking and give developers access to highly precise room-scale setups.

Though the update allows for up to four sensors to be connected, most developers are likely looking to optimize room-scale titles for just a pair sensors which makes sense as the Touch controllers are expected to ship with just one additional infrared sensor included.
