The price is incredibly low: $299; Announced that in 2021 it will release a pair of smartglasses made in collaboration with Ray-Ban; Teased the work it is doing in AR; Revealed that is working with Ubisoft for two AAA VR games developed around the IPs of Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed; Discontinued the Rift. Become my 10th supporter!!
One of the first accessories for AR/VR I had the opportunity to work on is the LeapMotion hands tracking controller : I made some cool experiments and prototypes with it and the Oculus Rift DK2. LeapMotion has also been the first important company I have interviewed in this blog. If you want, you can find it here below!
Also, LeapMotion tracking or the mixed reality cameras of Varjo XR-3 are not part of this model. The first shipping batch will happen at the end of 2021. But apart from these missing special features, Varjo has designed a headset with the best characteristics you can find on the market. Personal commentary.
Probably not this year, but next one or in 2021… but it will happen. In all of this, someone has created the design for a LeapMotion mount for the Index that exploits the frunk. By 2021, 120 cities (22% of population) will be covered by 5G. So, don’t panic. AR is still alive, Apple will still release its AR glasses.
In particular, the ones by Panasonic that were so popular at CES 2020 , are going to be released in 2021. All the ones that have been announced are going to be released in the next 12 months. 5G is a hot topic for XR glasses, and the new Snapdragon XR2 should let many upcoming standalone headsets connect to fast 5G networks.
There are also the underlying depth mapping systems such as Intel RealSense, Microsoft Kinect, LeapMotion, Occipital, Apple TrueDepth (with related acquisitions like PrimeSense and LinX), Nimble VR (acquired by Facebook), and Apple’s predicted move into ultra-wideband spatial sensing with the U1 chip announced as part of the iPhone 11 launch.
Stay tuned on this blog, because in some days I will publish an EXTRAORDINARY interview related to one of the most awaited VR games of 2021! Last year, Facebook announced that it was going to release in 2021 a new side content distribution platform for the Oculus Quest. I’m sure you will love it, so don’t miss it! Top news of the week.
Facebook Connect, the most awaited VR event of 2021, happened, and it was not as we expected it to be. Yes, something like Gear VR, but in 2021. More info (Alphabet Q3 2021 Earnings Call) More info (Jigsaw Trainer). Ultraleap (formerly LeapMotion) has just released the fifth version of its hands-tracking engine.
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 when we look ahead — 2020 and 2021 — what I see personally is the startups are usually creating platforms as a service.

Shipping should come as early as August 2021. A Japanese entity called “Akiya Research Institute” has shown on Twitter that it is developing a system to let you perform motion capture with just two webcams connected to your PC , and this could be used also as a very cheap way to have your full body in VR.
I think that we’ll have more info at OC7, with maybe a launch in 2021/2022. Another great UX post by LeapMotion. I was a big fan of the posts on natural UX in VR by LeapMotion (usually published by Road To VR), and I was a bit sad I couldn’t find any new one of them anymore. Amazing demo, have a look at it!
