On the last day, I tried many interesting technologies, but I selected two for this summary, which are the first two that I’ve tried: the new LeapMotion Controller by Ultraleap and the AR technology by LetinAR. You can see how it is in this picture, where I’ve put my hand for scale. The amazing Ben Lang.
This is cool because without having to add external hardware like LeapMotion , all Vive Pro users will be able to use their hands inside VR experiences to interact with the VR environment. The second bomb has been this one: HTC has showcased the implementation of full-fledged hand tracking on the Vive Pro.
Just before tuning in to the Apple WWDC2017 Keynote on Monday, I had a meeting with Jayse Hansen , master of the Fictional User Interface (FUI), Hologram and HUD design for film franchises like Star Wars, Iron Man, and The Hunger Games, and Alex Colgan , LeapMotion ’s digital content and community lead.
In his 1984 classic Neuromancer, characters entered a virtual reality world called “the matrix” (inspiration for the 1999 film of the same name by the Wachowskis). Augmented vision is commonplace in futuristic films, from Minority Report to Iron Man. Insane, yet companies are mapping it already.
Probably Ultraleap, or even when it was just LeapMotion, should have aimed to be bought by a headset manufacturer before all the major XR brands started developing hand tracking internally. This means that Samsung wont go all-in with hand tracking like Apple did. I wonder if they will ever open it up to other developers.
Chaitanya has had a multi-faceted career in the Indian Film & CreativeArtsIndustry for over 17 years. Sandman Studios’ recent work “Free Whale” and “Fresh Out” are officially selected by 74th and 75th Venice Film Festival VR Competition. Eddie has Dir/Prod India’s 1st Award Winning- Stereoscopic VR Short Film-CRACKLE.
The sentence with which they have started the tease is “Big things are in motion here at Ultraleap”, which makes me think about something big that moves… may it be a new device to perform body tracking?

Apple has killed its AR glasses project… maybe. A piece of unexpected news has shaken the XR communities this week: according to a report on Digitimes Taiwan, Apple has abandoned its AR/VR glasses project and all the members of the team have been re-allocated in other teams. AR is still alive, Apple will still release its AR glasses.
Raindance is a well-established and highly-respected independent film festival, but it isn’t a particularly flashy one. The Apple is a Chinese, Japanese and Korean co-production which won Best Multi-Person Experience award at Raindance. Clocking in at 40 minutes long, this 360 film is a surprising mix of comedy and sensuality.
This year’s Raindance Film Festival in London showcased an amazing selection of immersive stories. Here’s what got Tech Trends really excited: Raindance is a very well-established and well-respected independent film festival, but it isn’t a particularly flashy one. Yet that lack of over-the-top glamour actually suits it very well.
More info (Virtual VR Awards) More info (Cannes Film Festival postponed) More info (Summer GDC) More info (Rokid thermal glasses) More info (HTC faceplate delayed) More info (Google Chrome 81 delayed) More info (Zoom spiking, VR not). The time has come and finally Apple will implement a depth back camera in its upcoming iPad Pro.
