PPT Wand

Single Handed Control

PPTWand fits comfortably and places in your hand a joystick, one trigger, and 5 button inputs intuitively arranged for sightless operation.

Quality

The PPT 6DOF wand is based on the same technology that accompanies our PPT X and E series motion tracking systems. It provides unmatched accuracy and smooth and robust tracking even during the most rigorous motions.

Wireless

With a battery endurance of 8 hours (rechargeable), a range of 33 meters, and no sacrifice to performance, this is wireless at its best.

Versatile

The ergonomic one-handed design, vibrant tactile feedback, and a multitude of input modes lets our wand adapt easily to your application (rather than the other way around) and become a workhorse input device to your users.

Standards

Compatible with TrackD, VRPN, and WorldViz native PPT protocol, this device is ready to connect to your own application no matter what platform you develop on.
