I wonder what tech they're using. At that range & precision, it's safe to say it's not a camera. It'd have to be something like 16k by 16k to cover 13' x 13' at ~2 mm.

So, I assume it's something like Vive's method? I'd be concerned about them getting sued for patent infringement.

With only one basestation, you're also going to have to remain facing it, like with PSVR. So, it's not a Vive-level room scale solution.

There are enough challenges that I fear early adopters are in for some disappointment. Hopefully, it works well enough for them to make a second gen.
