New VR Stylus Controller Unveiled: Logitech MX Ink
Logitech has introduced the Logitech MX Ink, an innovative stylus controller for virtual reality (VR) art applications. Priced at $129, this groundbreaking device offers a reliable and intuitive controller option for users of popular VR art apps.
Designed in collaboration with Meta, the Logitech MX Ink provides a familiar pen-like feel, equipped with a pressure-sensitive tip and a main button for seamless sketching, grabbing, and manipulation in mixed reality (MR) environments. With its 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) tracking accuracy, the MX Ink effortlessly transitions between 2D and 3D spaces, catering to the needs of both 2D drawing on an “MX Mat” and 3D roomscale design.
Previously, creating 3D designs in VR required the use of bulky controllers or hand movements. However, with the Logitech MX Ink, users can enjoy a more efficient and precise artistic experience. What sets the MX Ink apart is its compatibility with Meta Quest 3 and 2 headsets, allowing for simultaneous use with other controllers. This feature distinguishes it as the first stylus controller that supports more than two paired controllers at once on Meta Quest headsets.
To enhance the creative process, Logitech has also introduced the MX Mat and the MX Inkwell as optional accessories. The MX Mat acts as a friction-free drawing environment, mimicking a real-world canvas, while the MX Inkwell serves as a charging base for convenient stylus storage and charging.
The Logitech MX Ink is set to ship during Meta Connect 2024, starting on September 25. Logitech has expressed its commitment to expanding the compatibility of the MX Ink with future headsets. In the meantime, developers who wish to integrate the MX Ink into their applications are encouraged to visit Logitech’s GitHub page or apply for a dev kit.
With this remarkable VR stylus controller, Logitech is revolutionizing the way artists and designers interact with virtual and mixed reality environments, offering unparalleled precision and control for the ultimate creative experience.
