This page is a stub, please expand it if you have more information.Constellation is an open platform that allows third-party hardware manufactures to create their own controllers that utilize the tracking system.[1]
CV1
The first iteration of the system will be released with Oculus Rift CV1 in Q1 2015. The Rift will utilize an external camera sensor that sits on top of a thin and malleable pole about a foot in length. The entire setup can be placed on a desk similar to a lamp. The sensor and its mount is black in color. It is small, sleek and looks like a small desk lamp.
LED markers are placed on the HMD and Oculus Touch controllers so they can be tracked by the sensor.
