There’s one day left for the PrioVR Kickstarter; with a little less than 50% of their funding raised so far, PrioVR needs the help of the VR community to hit their goal.
PrioVR is a VR motion tracking suit by YEI Technology which uses internal sensors to track your every movement. The Kickstarter offers three systems, Pro, Lite, and LZ. PrioVR Pro ($399) features 17 sensors and YEI says its suitable for professional motion capture use. PrioVR Lite ($349) has 11 sensors and is aimed toward VR gamers who want full body motion tracking. PrioVR LZ ($275) has 7 sensors and is aimed toward upper-body tracking for seated VR gaming. All versions include the API, SDK, demo game, and can be extended with additional sensors.
The PrioVR Kickstarter is currently sitting at $108,907 in funding, just under 50% of their $255,000 goal.
Part way through their Kickstarter, YEI Technology announced a big price drop on PrioVR, and earlier expected delivery for the system.
Having been up close and personal with the PrioVR prototype myself, I can say that PrioVR is definitely a viable option for VR motion tracking, and one that I hope we can see funded. If you’re interested in supporting the PrioVR Kickstarter, today is your last day — don’t forget, you don’t get charged unless the Kickstarter is successful!
Full Disclosure: YEI Technology is running a PrioVR ad on Road to VR.
