General
I want cake.
So with tax season coming up, if I'm getting my usual refund, I'm probably going to buy some Finch Shift controllers.
What are they?
They're cross-platform 6 DoF controllers, or to put simply, REAL VR controllers. They are compatible with Steam VR AND google cardboard, which means that I can actually develop for Steam VR, and just test it on my phone.
I think we both knew I was going to go the 6 DoF route sooner than later. 3 DoF is essentially a laser pointer, and while it IS fun, more people would rather use two hands and be able to reach in and out like (ahem) reality.
Mystic Planet will be coming to Steam VR before Android though. Right now the Finch Shift controllers are only for developer use. I hope that'll change in about a year so ya'll can play it on VR and spend only $255 instead of like $500 plus get a gaming computer. =x
Lord knows I'll have to. .-.

OP
6 DoF means I can do more. Like you could equip a potion and pour it into your mouth. I could add a scope to the crossbow and you could hold it over your eye to see the target. That stuff wouldn't be possible in 3 DoF.
