Technology and Features
Sixense developed the electromagnetic motion tracking technology that is used in consumer products worldwide. The STEM System represents the next generation of this technology, with a new architecture that delivers longer range, lower latency, and better performance at all ranges.
Wireless motion tracking
Freedom of movement for any activity, from desktop competitive gaming to VR with full body tracking and locomotion.
Five tracking points
Allows tracking of all four limbs plus the head – or any other configuration.
Extended range
Optimized performance from the desktop to the living room, with an 8-foot radius (16-foot diameter) range from the Base.
Backward compatibility via the Sixense SDK
Uses an updated version of the Sixense SDK (for Windows, Mac OS and Linux) that also supports games and applications developed for the Razer Hydra.
Performance specs
Our technology uses an A/C electromagnetic field to determine the position and orientation of each STEM (up to five per system) relative to a stationary base. The STEM System allows an uninterrupted and consistent user experience unlike any other motion control system.
No drift
Because Sixense technology does not rely on inertial sensors (gyroscopes and accelerometers) for position tracking, the measured position of each STEM will not drift over time, whether you move quickly, slowly, or not at all.
Low latency
Patented Sixense latency technology is used in the STEM System – giving it the lowest latency of any wireless consumer motion control system.
One-to-one tracking
This means that the STEM System tracks both position and orientation on all three axes for each STEM. These data are very easy for developers to incorporate into software applications via the Sixense SDK.
No line of sight required between STEMs and the Base
You have the freedom to turn around, put the STEMs in your pockets or stand behind your couch – all without interrupting the tracking performance.
