Tracking

[JonathanPeyton]

Hello,

 Thank you for creating such a great new device that has many benefits over past devices on the market,I've been waiting :)

Anyway I'm not a complainer I know how hard it must be to do what you guys do, but I do want to say tracking in games where your hands and arms must move with dexterity is somewhat awful. Countless times I find myself looking at one or both virtual hands twisted in unnatural positions, frozen at my last input spot or still functioning, however now 2 or 3 feet further from my body then they began.

I've tried to be mindful of placing the controller behind me ( we know it doesn't like that) and I've got decent light, not TONS of light (I plan to hang some clip-ons to help out) and I never use batteries past 40% checked on multi meter.

I know its early days , I just wanted to provide the best feedback I could so that you people can continue to do the killer job you've done so far by focusing on the areas effecting your users.

Thanks again

JP
