From everything I've heard, and based on the diagram in the article, and as you wrote previously in the article that you linked to in that same paragraph, the new base stations will have moving parts. Just one spinning drum rather than two, but a spinning drum is still a moving part. : P

Since these new sensors are stated to not be compatible with our current HTC Vive, does that hint at a possibility of said sensors being implemented for a possible HTC Vive 2? Or will it be implemented for different OEM's making different headsets? Or both?
 
Both seems likely. Steam VR has a new controller design coming, and Valve has already mentioned that other, unspecified manufacturers are working on headsets, and it's almost certain that HTC has a second-generation headset in the works, seeing as their current design has been out for a year and a half at this point. Considering all the competition that will be coming from the various Windows 10 VR headsets, along with the Oculus Rift, they undoubtedly want to launch something with new features to keep themselves at the leading edge. They might wait until after the holiday shopping season to announce anything though.
