Today Valve announced that it would be allowing 3rd Party hardware makers royalty-free licensing of Steam VR Tracking. This technology developed by Valve enables developers to build precise position and orientation devices, and is the same tracking technology that is currently being used in the HTC Vive.
Valve is offering in-person training to the first wave of licensees, to help developers get acquainted with the technology. Valve plans to offer online training materials in the future. Hardware development kits include a reference tracked device, sensors, and software tools to design and build new devices are being made available to each licensee, according to a press release from Valve.
More information about the initiative can be found at http://steamvr.com/tracking/
