Today I have the pleasure of publishing an interview I had with Graham Atlee , a very smart guy that has developed the Triton Project, a DIY affordable AR headset with wide FOV and natural hands interactions! For the past 3 years I’ve been working on various AR/VR projects like Pumori.io Triton AR headset (Image by Graham Atlee).
Today Magic Leap has launched the Lumin SDK, the toolkit which allows developers to build AR experiences for Lumin OS, the operating system that powers the Magic Leap One headset. Eye tracking. Gesture and hand tracking. 6DOF hand controller (Totem) tracking. Room scanning and meshing. Spatialized audio. Microphone input.
This list is a compilation of AR/VR terminologies from all over the web. measures acceleration; for ARCore-capable smartphones, it helps enable motion tracking. user-defined points of interest upon which AR objects are placed. user-defined points of interest upon which AR objects are placed. Accelerometer?—?
LYNX is a startup building a standalone MR headset that’s primarily focused on passthrough AR scenarios for enterprise applications. The Qualcomm XR SDK includes core functionality like inside-out headtracking and the ability to run applications on a headset without writing a new application framework from scratch.
AWE day two started off with back-to-back keynotes from mixed reality display maker Magic Leap and AR commerce solution Avataar. Magic Leap’s Head of Product Management, Jade Meskill, presented “Magic Leap 2 and the Augmented Enterprise.” This allows not just trial of individual items, but entire AR floorplans.
With regard to HoloLens, instead, this device is far cheaper, but it lacks the Windows 10 ecosystem and especially the environmental tracking features and the standalone form factor. It is a solid plastic device with 90° FOV (far more than a lot of AR headsets out there), 2.5K 3 degree-of-freedom headtracking.
Lots of companies have made this claim actually, but Eonite specifically says they have the “world’s most accurate, lowest latency, lowest power consuming software to democratize inside-out positional tracking for VR and AR.” That’s potentially revolutionary for the VR and AR industry if true.
Regarding what components have been opensourced, Google states that “The open source project provides APIs for headtracking, lens distortion rendering, and input handling. Is Apple partnering with Valve on AR? A report by DigiTimes claims that Apple is partnering with Valve for the production of its AR glasses.
It is likely to continue such collaborations with the San Diego-based tech giant with the release of the latter’s Augmented Reality (AR) 2 Gen 1 hardware platform. XR Today interviewed Emma Bauer, Senior Vice President of Segments & Products , on Tobii’s latest eye-tracking innovations. Social interaction.
Magic Leap Currently focusing its attention on the enterprise landscape, Magic Leap produces AR and MR headsets designed to address the needs of various industries. With this device, users can also take advantage of built-in headtracking to immerse them in the digital experience as they move around.
It also comes with a 5-channel microphone array, built-in spatial speakers, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 850 compute platform. Latest Microsoft News Magic Leap Currently focusing its attention on the enterprise landscape, Magic Leap produces AR and MR headsets designed to address the needs of various industries.
” Headtracking is an essential part of all mixed reality technology, both VR and AR, and the so-called inside-out variety in a VR headset makes set up dramatically easier. HoloLens will continue to be at the core of what we do, but Windows Holographic is the larger and more diverse ecosystem that HoloLens exists within.”
Was the best virtual reality or a AR experience is what is the best thing that you have done? There’s a lot of talent here, and I have heard from other people that even places like Kansas City actually have quite a bit of VR happening — and I say VR, I mean XR, AR; all of it. Unity is always my top one. Michael: Yes.

Unity is always my top one. Michael: Yes.
It looked good on paper, but once I started working with it, I quickly realized that most of my time would be spent just trying to get the device to properly communicate with Unity and pair with the OS rather than having fun making stuff. Vitally, Graffiti 3D needs to be freed from the cables and positional headtracking camera FOV.
As mainstream VR/AR input continues to evolve – from the early days of gaze-only input to wand-style controllers and fully articulated hand tracking – so too are the virtual user interfaces we interact with. With our Interaction Engine Unity package, prototyping these kinds of physically inspired interfaces is easier than ever.
Was the best virtual reality or a AR experience is what is the best thing that you have done? And as much as I'm very happy that the coasts are innovating as much as they are, I think there's a huge opportunity here in the Midwest. So what are some of the most impressive business cases that you've seen so far?
For example, headtracking can come from optical trackers or inertial ones. Many game engines – such as Unity, Unreal and SteamVR- immediately support it. AR products share many of the needs of their VR cousins. OSVR Implications The OSVR architecture supports AR just as it supports VR.
