A woman approaching a headset floating in the air.


In the headset, the world of 3D graphics is spreading.


I waved from the sky,HTC Vive Hand ControllerA pair of controllers.


When the woman picked up the controller, the beam which draws the curve popped out from the ring of the controller.


This is the so-called "moving beam" which is also seen in the VR game, and it can move instantly to the position where the pointer is aligned.


An object that glows green is floating in the air.


It is sucked into the ring of the controller ......


Various painting tools are slick.


When the tool rotates with grabbing with your thumb


When you tap with your thumb, a brush has been selected.


The brush draws brilliant colors according to the trajectory that moved the controller.


In other words, this space is a vast 3D campus. It depends on your imagination how you draw graphics.


When drawing a picture, a ring shining blue shone from the ground flew.


I picked up this and extended it with the controllers of both hands ......


In a blink of an eye, it changed into a lantern.


When floating in the sky, it became an atmosphere like a Com Roy Festival that makes lanterns float in the night sky of Thailand.


In addition, this new controller has built-in optical sensor in the ring part, the headset will track the position of the controller.


Trigger button on the index finger part.


The most different point from HTC Vive's hand controller and PSVR 's PS Move is that there is a "grab button" around the palm. Just grasping the controller tightly, it can be seen as a button that performs "grip" movement in mixed reality, you can see that you are conscious of intuitive operability.


Arrange sticks that can be irritated on the thumb portion.


Next to that there is a touch pad, sliding the Pen tool, turning, tapping and deciding it was done. It seems that it is a controller that pursued "ease of use" rather than incorporating new functions into existing similar products. In addition, although it seems that it operated with VR (virtual reality) in the movie, this controller is described as "the motion controller which is the key of MR (mixed reality) experience of Windows", and it sees as a controller corresponding to HoloLens Yes.
