You can finally buy the LeapMotion v2 accessory. The time for us XR developers to buy a LeapMotion 2 has finally come. LeapMotion 1 has been used by almost every developer and researcher , both in VR and not. Yes, the price is higher than the cheap LeapMotion 1, but this is also a far better device.
In my unboxing video, you may see that I’ve found an additional LeapMotion v1 controller + LeapMotion mount for RealMax + USB-C cable for LeapMotion. Since having a 3DOF controller with a 6DOF headset is weird (HTC and Lenovo know this well), RealMax has decided to add also support for LeapMotion.
In August 2020, Charles Rivers Analytics received a MegaGrant from Epic Games, allowing the SDK to become fully integrated into the company’s game developing eco-system. It currently supports the following devices and XR systems: SteamVR: HTC Vive and Windows MR headsets. LeapMotion. Oculus Rift and Oculus Quest.
We don’t know if it is just a reference design for external partners (like HTC) or it is an actual headset that Valve is producing. Someone hypothesizes that Valve may produce the headset by itself because: HTC has started its own store, Viveport , and so it is not pushing Steam as an official store anymore. We’ll see.
It seems cool, but I would like to try it to believe in it: all the times that someone promised me some kind of sensory magic, it never turned out so good as they told me (like with the phantom touch sensation that LeapMotion told me about ). Vive Facial Tracker works also with non-HTC headsets. As long as it works….
It’s a new month, we’ve reached level 6 of this Jumanji game that is 2020. Shipping is expected for fall 2020. HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). What will happen next? Top news of the week. Image by HP). HP launches Reverb G2 headset.
At the beginning of 2020, the American company will finalize its reference design based on this chipset, and in the second half of the year we will see the first headsets implementing this technology. He has tweeted “I’m very excited about our upcoming announcements next week, and all that we have planned for 2020–2024”. More info.
VR-2 Pro adds an integrated LeapMotion and a 10m cable. Valve said that the game should launch in 2019, but knowing Valve Time, if we are lucky, it will be announced in 2019 and launched in 2020. It also adds compatibility with SteamVR, so you can play Steam games and enterprise applications with Varjo. News worth a mention.
The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Check out the bottom of this post for a list of VR inspiration. Body movement.
LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here. Well, during 2018, LeapMotion has announced the North Star reference design : a cheap augmented reality connected to PC, that is able to detect your hands very well thanks to LeapMotion’s sensor. See you in 2020!
I mean, it sort of makes more sense to me that, as long as the prices for the headsets are lingering up pretty high — like the Cosmos from HTC, the brand new one, it’ll be an $800 purchase. Dean: And I think more critical are these more foundational companies, like Facebook and Valve and HTC. Dean: Yeah, I think.

HTC has actually released that for the Vive Focus Plus … Well, according to the god John Carmack , it is something about which the company has discussed a lot and has also experimented a lot. Starting from early next year (2020), in beta for consumers and developers, it will be possible to use your bare hands within the Oculus Quest.
Most people know Xu due to his dispute with American virtual reality company Magic Leap. In June 2019, Magic Leap accused Xu of stealing AR glasses technology when he was an engineer working at the firm. However, in June 2020, a U.S. federal court threw out the case as #MagicLeap failed to make any viable claim. 3- Ayden Ye.
And we actually tried to tackle this problem with the help of major headset manufacturers – Oculus, HTC, LeapMotion, Intel — and they supported us to create VR/AR labs around the world. But what are you seeing as the major trend as we enter into kind of 2020? VR and AR are starting to pick up steam.

In an interview with a Chinese magazine, HTC China (Mister) President Alvin Graylin has stated that in his opinion, Facebook may lose at least $100-$200 for each sold Oculus Quest 2 device. HTC had $210 million as the total revenue for 2020. Facebook may be losing at least $100 for every sold Quest 2.
In the meantime, even HTC that was safe until now is having troubles in manufacturing the external tracking faceplate , whose release date will be delayed. A new analysis of IDC on the shipments of XR headsets reveals that this 2020 will have a very bad start. Q2 2020 will see a year-over-year decrease in shipments of more than 24%.
