Optionally, Meta Quest Touch Pro controllers provide advanced 360-degree tracking capabilities, allowing for unparalleled precision and actions such as holding the tiller behind your back, which is not achievable with the standard Quest 3 controllers that rely on thumbstick joysticks for input.

Valve Index

We recommend Valve Index VR headset.

Why? Tracking system used by Valve Index enables reliable tracking of controllers behind the player.

This is important if you want to be able to grab a tiller behind you. ( Otherwise you need to use a workaround to use tiller, for example using a joystick on the controller in case of Meta Quest 3.)

I can't order Valve Index

We recommend "VIVE Pro Full Kit".

You can also consider Meta/Oculus Rift S headset,
however VIVE Pro offers a better tracking system ( for VR sailing ).

Meta Quest 3 + Link cable ( or Air Link ) is also a good option, however you won't get 360 controller tracking that Valve Index/HTC Vive can offer.
