Hyperkin Hyper Blaster

Hyperkin Hyper Blaster for HTC Vive Tracker

This gun is designed for the HTC Vive Tracker and requires only a single screw to mount it. Once attached, you'll be able to immerse yourself in an even more realistic VR experience in titles such as Duck Season, Arizona Sunshine, Practisim VR, and more. The mechanical trigger offer haptic feedback for life-like recoil, and it has two grip buttons, two menu buttons, and a single touchpad button for in-game commands.

Product Highlights:

- Made for HTC Vive Tracker

- Mechanical Trigger with Haptic Feedback

- Two Grip Buttons

- Two Menu Buttons

- One Touchpad Button

- Single Mounting Screw

The Hyperkin Hyper Blaster based on VIVE tracking system will plot their location and orientation, just how Lighthouse works with the bundled Vive controllers. The best use of the Vive Tracker right now would be with guns, with demonstrations showing off rifle handling, firefighting simulations with real equipment, and much more.

HTC Vive Protectors

The experience to work Virtual Reality on a real human scale definitely presents new challenges, and this is the case of "HTC Vive" with which we can immerse to new worlds. Because of this, it is possible to have "accidents" very frequently with the objects that surround us in the real environment, so protecting our equipment is must. For this I can recommend 100% the following components, which have demonstrated an excellent quality of materials and manufacturing, making each immersion safe and stress-free that the case deserves.

It is worth to mention that "for an unknown reason and unfortunately" the Hyperkin company have not released material options like Crystal Clear (transparent) or Black Silicone, although they are very well designed to expose the Laser IR sensors and hardware protection, I have confirmed through social networks that its design is highly criticized for its esthetic because once installed triggers "trypophobia" for some people, so it becomes necessary and ideally to release this two material options for Crystal Clear (transparent) and Black Silicone in order to mimic the product design with the aesthetics of the original HTC Vive hardware design have.
