They secured their first round of seed funding and have shipped early units to developers and now, their R & amp;D efforts have extended to Valve ’s laser based tracking solution Lighthouse, as used in the forthcoming HTC Vive headset and SteamVR controllers. & nbsp; < /span > < /p > < p style= " text-align: justify; " > < span style= " font-size: 8pt; " > The Manus VR team seem to have canibalised a set of SteamVR controllers, leveraging the positional tracking of wrist mounted units to augment Manus VR ’s existing glove-mounted IMUs.
