I really do not like the idea of trying to space out 3 or 4 Oculus sensors in a 5x5 room and have all 4 of them connect back to the PC. That is where the Vive really shines - the Vive sensors (basestations) only need a connection to a power outlet.

The concept of the vive’s tracking is the opposite to that of the Oculus - the vive headset ‘looks’ for the lasers, as opposed to the Oculus Sensors looking for markers on the oculus headset.
