New OSVR Dev Kit Gets Positional Tracking, Android Support Announced

VRFocus – It’s been a busy E3 for virtual reality (VR) technology so far. VR enthusiasts have already seen updates from the likes of Oculus VR, Sony Computer Entertainment, and, to some extent, Valve, but now it’s time to turn attention to the developer-focused VR kit from Open-Source Virtual Reality (OSVR). This unique ecosystem was announced all the way back in January with its own OSVR Hacker Dev Kit, designed as a cheap and simple head-mounted display (HMD) for VR development. Today, the group has revealed updates to that HMD which include positional tracking.
