'Star Wars' Lightsaber Video Game, Oculus Rift Gameplay Demo [WATCH] Virtual Reality STEM System Shows Amazing New Project

Lightsabers are arguably the coolest sci-fi weapons in the history of the genre. So it makes sense to develop new video game technology to make sure gamers can use a lightsaber in virtual reality, right? Thanks to the STEM Systems teaming up with Oculus Rift, you can have a lightsaber dual with Darth Vader! Don't believe us? Check out some Star Wars gameplay demo footage below!

So what exactly is STEM systems technology? Basically, you can take your body movements inside the virtual reality created by Oculus!

Here is a more in-depth description:

This is one of the first videos in which we show our STEM Pack, which is mounted to the strap of the Oculus Rift DK2 to provide full position and orientation tracking for the user's head. STEM Controllers provide tracking for each hand. The lightsaber or sword is the true test for a one-to-one motion tracking system in VR, because it requires low latency, and almost perfect tracking of both position and orientation between your physical and your virtual self as you perform swipes, slashes, blocks and counters with the lightsaber. The STEM System and the SixenseVR SDK make this experience possible, and also make it easy for developers to create these types of applications quickly. The experience is a fantasy, but it feels natural because of the near-perfect hand-eye coordination that the SixenseVR SDK provides.
