A quick little update of the evolution of Steam VR 2.0 Tracking.
A VR Arcade proprietor, Tower Tag, successfully pulled off a large multi-player experience involving 6 players using 4 new Steam VR Base stations.

This is exciting news since this group was able to hook everything up without too much major reconfiguration.
Just as an update, the old Steam VR Tracking was specked at 5m x 5m space whereas the new Steam VR Tracking is specked out to handle a 10mx10m space. iMyth was able to spread those initial configurations to 20’x20′ with two participants but the coverage was spotty with dead zones. This seems crystal clear at 10mx10m with six participants.
Can’t wait `till I get my hands on a set of these along with cartloads of new Steam VR tracking pucks.
