The Kickstarter campaign for Surreal Touch, 6DoF tracked VR controllers for Apple Vision Pro, was successfully funded.
The Surreal Touch controllers were first announced back in July. Their Kickstarter campaign launched last week with a goal of $50,000, and has to date received almost $90,000 from 330 backers.
Alongside launching the campaign, Surreal Interactive also revealed new PC VR streaming gameplay footage. Most notably, while the startup previously only showed Beat Saber on Normal difficulty, it's now showing its founder using Surreal Touch to beat Rum n' Bass on Expert.
I was really skeptical about their announcements, until I saw the proof of concept. Really impressive work, considering this was not the intended use of the headset at all. Shame the headset itself is still astronomically priced, assuming you can get one to begin with
Quest 2 controllers cost $70 and Quest Pro controllers (which have their own tracking, just like this) cost $250. Considering $250 is the "early bird" price for Vision controllers and the retail price will be $370, it's not "cheap" in any way.
