Here at AVA, we specialize in the creation of high performance computers that are able to withstand the newest and most complex accessories in the industry. The Sixense STEM System was just what we were looking for when it came to a revolutionary VR platform that could take the gaming phenomenon to new heights.

The Sixense STEM System is a wireless motion tracking platform that allows each user the ability to have the natural feel of interaction within a game or other virtual environment, without having to compromise accuracy. It is the next big step in motion tracking technology that includes a longer range of motion, wireless operation, and improved tracking performance at all ranges. The STEM System is able to support up to five motion trackers on the body. These five trackers can be placed on your head, hands, entire body, and other configurations.

Reviews

“This may be the best way to control virtual reality”-Jimmy Thang, PC Gamer. This was the opening sentence to the review that Thang wrote regarding the Sixense STEM VR Controller. Thang noted that the VR headset has been a movement that is picking up some serious steam, while the controllers that go alongside the systems are still stuck in the past. Luckily, the Sixense has the ability to change that.
