HTC Vive VR Tracker And Accessories Available For Preorder

HTC has announced a new tracker and accessories for the HTC Vive VR headset, which includes a Hyper Blaster, a Racket Sports Set and a TrackStrap. Each tracker will sell for $99 with preorders starting Nov. 16. The trackers will ship and go on sale in December.

HTC is also offering the trackers in bundles with the accessories and various HTC VR game titles including Duck Season and a Virtual Sports and third-party titles, including Redfoot Bluefoot Dancing. International Business Times tried the Duck Season game at an HTC Vive event in New York City Wednesday, using the Hyper Blaster accessory, which simulates a gun. Duck hunting isn’t our forte, even in easy mode, but more skilled marksmen would likely have fun with this game.

The Hyper Blaster will be available with a Vive Tracker and the Duck Season game at Amazon for $149. Other game optimized for the Hyper Blaster include Arizona Sunshine , The American Dream VR , Operation Warcade , TacticalAR , and Practisim VR , with at least ten more titles coming in the first quarter of 2018.

The Racket Sports Set includes Ping Pong and Tennis handles, a Vive Tracker and a redemption code for Virtual Sports, and will sell for $149.99 through Amazon, Abt Electronics, BH Photo, Fry’s, Gamestop, Micro Center and NewEgg.

The TrackStrap attaches to a user’s body to allow for adding feet, wrist, hip or leg tracking movement in VR experiences. The TrackStraps are currently available at rebuffreality.com and sell in a pair for $24.99, including a redemption code for Redfoot Bluefoot Dancing.
