Hardware
Traditional Controls
One wireless Oculus Touch is held in each hand. 2 Oculus Touch controllers are designed to operate simultaneously. Some of the controller's features are similar to that of a traditional gamepad. It has 1 analog stick and 2 buttons on top and 2 triggers, 1 for the index finger located in front and 1 for the middle finger on the side.
Tracking
Oculus Touch achieves precise, low latency, 6DOF tracking through the same system as the Rift headset. IR LEDs are placed on the controllers' bodies and rings, allowing them to be tracked by the same positional tracking sensor that tracks the HMD. The LEDs on the outer rings prevent occlusion caused by your hands. In addition to positional tracking, controllers possess built-in IMUs that allow rotational tracking.
Gesture Sensing
The device has an inward facing sensor matrix that can detect hand gestures.
Ergonomics
You grip the controller similar to how you shake someone's hand. Your thumb is placed on top of the controller and handles the analog stick and 2 buttons. Your index finger is placed in front and activates a trigger. Your other 3 fingers grip the handle of the controller with your middle finger responsible for a trigger on the side.

History
