HTC mentioned during their HTC Vive reveal yesterday that the new headset would be accompanied by new controllers, designed for VR. It seems that Scott Broock, VP of Content at Jaunt just got his hands on them, and was impressed.
Steam VR is being demo’d behind closed doors in San Francisco on the first day of GDC 2015 and, despite a clear embargo being in place preventing any real details being shared, it seems the new platform is wowing delegates at the show.
VP of Content at Jaunt, a company specialising in 360 VR Video content production, just tweeted his first short impressions on the controller system Valve is showing off.
Just experienced HTC and Valve’s VR solution at #MWC15. Utterly phenomenal. The controller solution is intuitive and precise.

Before adding:
@BSanbizzle@VR_BHart going to play it safe and let the press cover it. Can easily say that it just feels “right.”

Along with the HTC Vive’s tracking system, almost nothing concrete is known the new controllers, and unlike the headset – no images have yet been made available.
The Road to VR team will be chasing down information on the new Steam VR platform on site at GDC 2015 in San Francisco.
