Oculus revealed its own brand of motion controllers, the Oculus Touch, back in June. The Touch is two separate handheld devices with two buttons and one analog stick each, and it's closer to a natural input system than using, say, an Xbox One controller. But it seems that Oculus has been interested in device-free movement for a while: In December, Oculus acquired Nimble VR, a company that transfers your real-life skeletal movement into virtual reality. Yep, hands in VR. In May, Oculus acquired Surreal Vision, a company that transforms physical spaces into VR worlds. Yep, hands and entire rooms in VR. VIDEO
Facebook owned company Oculus has bought up Israeli-founded Pebbles Interfaces in a deal supposedly worth around $60 million. Pebbles interfaces specialises in custom optics, sensor systems and algorithms to detect and track hand movement. Oculus likely wanted to acquire the company to help develop further methods of virtual reality. Oculus revealed its own brand of motion controllers back in June.
