This system makes the headset dependent on static hardware, however, and so top engineers at Oculus , HTC and Google are all racing to crack the inside-out code first.

At Leap Motion, we’ve seen our fair share of impressive motion-controlled robots that will one day bring about the robocalypse. On another level, a high school student’s robotics project is combining the Oculus Rift and motion control to create an experience that takes you wherever the robot goes. Happy Halloween!
