Kickstarter is not just enlisting consumer investors, but is now helping established companies attract new original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) into using their subsystems. Enter Sixense, whose Kickstarter project will be the only way to get advance access to its first wireless motion sensing technology. Sixense hopes that OEMs will sign-up to get their system development kit which allows them to embed the motion sensing module into their own controllers, such as head-mounted displays for virtual reality, or into sports equipment like a golf club for gaming: R.

Sixense's first wireless controller houses the oblong Sixense Tracking Embedded Module (STEM, left), which OEMs can embed to track motion in their own devices.
The STEM magnetic beacon and base station recharges two Sixense controllers and up to three power packs for OEMs embedded the motion sensing module in their own devices, like head mounted displays for virtual reality, or say a golf club for gaming.
