PPT Wand
Ultimate One-Hand VR Controller
The PPTWand is a wireless 6DOF handheld input device for use with a CAVE, Powerwall or other immersive virtual reality systems, allowing for navigation and interaction in the virtual environment.
Single Handed Control
PPTWand fits comfortably and places in your hand a joystick, one trigger, and 5 button inputs intuitively arranged for sightless operation.
Quality
The PPT 6DOF wand is based on the same technology that accompanies our PPT X and H series motion tracking systems. It provides unmatched accuracy and smooth and robust tracking even during the most rigorous motions.
Wireless
With a battery endurance of 8 hours (rechargeable), a range of 33 meters, and no sacrifice to performance, this is wireless at its best.
Versatile
The ergonomic one-handed design, vibrant tactile feedback, and a multitude of input modes lets our wand adapt easily to your application (rather than the other way around) and become a workhorse input device to your users.
Compatible with TrackD, VRPN, and WorldViz native PPT protocol, this device is ready to connect to your own application no matter what platform you develop on.
