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 Leap Motion told me about ). Discover some nice XR storytelling content.

Markers can be used to define where to show virtual elements, and in the demo that I tried were used to show virtual Chinese artworks in a room; Leap Motion device on Realmax glasses. RealMax can mount a Leap Motion device, so you have the power of using naturally your hands to interact with AR elements. I liked it a lot.

In these 2 days (October, 19-20th), in Nanchang, China, it is held the first edition of the World Conference on VR Industry (WCVRI) , a very important event to talk about virtual and augmented reality. The city is full of references to Virtual Reality, and so it is like a paradise for us VR enthusiasts.

Earlier this summer, we open sourced the design for Project North Star , the world’s most advanced augmented reality R&D platform. Developer group exiii shared their experience on their blog along with a build guide, which uses off-the-shelf components. The augmented reality will change our perception of the world greatly.

Augmented Reality in 2018. You may hate or love Magic Leap, but the fact that it has released a product is for sure a great news for all the ecosystem : if after all those investments, that startup failed, it would have had a ripple effect on all the ecosystem, making investors lose trust in augmented reality.

At Leap Motion, we’ve seen our fair share of impressive motion-controlled robots that will one day bring about the robocalypse. As for the augmented reality side of the equation, Alex sees it as a way to make robotic controls more seamless and intuitive. Leap Motion can detect the hand gestures very accurately.

User interfaces (UIs) play a crucial role in virtual and augmented reality, especially at this early stage of the medium’s evolution. Hover VR interfaces use the Leap Motion Controller, providing hand-based interactions and strong sense of immersion in the virtual space. You’re about to find out with Firework Factory VR.

In the context of motion controls, good affordance is critical, since it is necessary that users interact with objects in the expected manner. With 2D Leap Motion applications, this means adapting traditional UX design principles that condensed around the mouse and keyboard. Limit unintended interactions. Ergonomics.

But what they did was essentially brought two different groups of kids that were 12-to-13-year-old kids, and taught them basic physics, mechanics. So even a week later, after not being reminded the content after they were retested, they outperformed the immediate test scores of the control group. So that is a very surprising finding.

Probably Ultraleap, or even when it was just Leap Motion, should have aimed to be bought by a headset manufacturer before all the major XR brands started developing hand tracking internally. The questions are many, but people asking them on the Discord or Reddit groups of the company are being banned every week.
