Oculus Touch

As manager of product design, my team of 35 shipped the best VR controllers to date, Oculus Touch.

Oculus Touch is the motion controller system used by Oculus VR in the Rift, Rift S, and Quest virtual reality systems. 

The Oculus Touch consists of a pair of handheld units, each featuring an analog stick, three buttons, and two triggers (one commonly used for grabbing and the other for shooting or firing), and features a system for detecting finger gestures the user may make while holding them. The ring in each controller contains a set of infrared LEDs, which allows the controllers to be fully tracked in 3D space by the Oculus Rift’s Constellation system, allowing them to be represented in the virtual environment. Each controller features a rumble motor for haptic feedback, and is powered by a single AA alkaline cell.
