I need to rush out this newsletter episode because otherwise tomorrow Apple launches its headset and no one will read my articles: everyone will be too busy reading “The top 5 features of the Apple headset” or “The 7 reasons why the Apple headset can revolutionize peeling potatoes”. How is Apple going to sell this headset?
The glasses, codenamed Orion, should be made to replace smartphones and are slated for a release date of 2023–2025, that seems very reasonable, considering that no present tech is able to create truly consumer AR. We may know the field of view of Apple AR headset. But Facebook is not waiting the OC6 to present all its products.
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.
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.
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.
Facebook is also working with haptics, and it has presented two prototypes of the wristbands that could apply vibrations or pressure sensations on the wrist. All our interfaces could become personal, and this would be a revolution for UX.
I’m often presented as a creative technologist , meaning that I’m at the crossing of creativity and technology. Sometimes I just want Apple to get their headset out, with one-right-way to do things, and save us all from bad VR UX once and for all. Playing around with the LeapMotion interaction system.
And given the index pose of the player, they surely feature a trigger for the index finger – If you look better at the frontal part of the headset, there are some lines that are not present in the original design of the Focus, so they should be part of the addon.

It discards data that it doesn’t need and presents something that we can grasp. Image Credit: Dean Takahashi. That suggests the solution for challenges of VR.
RealMax's AR and VR device with hand tracking by LeapMotion and an epic 102-degree field of view, was used for a multiplayer AR game which involved grabbing fish and knocking over boxes. Enterprise will be the biggest driver of smartglasses revenues for the next five years," said Tim Merel of Digi-Capital in a main stage presentation.

Alan: I did a presentation last week and there one of the slides I put up shows the growth of the whole XR industry, and consumer was leading the way.

Then you've got glasses like the North glasses, which just give you a little heads up display, like your Apple Watch display. Are things like midair haptics-- I know-- I guess LeapMotion would be a competitor to you guys, even though they're using a hardware solution to do that. So that's what I'd say.

Prior to Spatial, he founded BumpTop, a pioneering 3D, multi-touch, physics desktop interface inspired by real desks that he presented at TED.
