Recently, Leap Motion kicked off one of our internal hackathons, where small teams pitch and develop quick demos over the course of two days. Built using C++/OpenGL, the project uses genuine Windows API calls to bring the interface into augmented reality. Danger: Scooter Warpspeed. Utility: Swipey Joe McDesktop.

At Leap Motion, we’re always looking to advance our interactions in ways that push our hardware and software. As one of the lead engineers on Project North Star, I believe that augmented reality can be a truly compelling platform for human-computer interaction. As we augment our reality, we augment ourselves.

It is astonishing, especially if you consider that it is not a real fluid simulation, but just a very complicated shader. After many months of teasing them, Unity has finally launched the MARS tools, a suite of tools to build easily Augmented Reality experiences in Unity without knowing how to code. Unity launches MARS tools.

I’m an early-stage VC focused on virtual and augmented reality, so I pieced this together based on the forward-thinking pitches and demos I’ve been lucky enough to see through my work, plus a lifetime of burning through sci-fi and video games. Weight is tougher to simulate in VR. You’d smell the grass.

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. Restrict Motions to Interaction. Ergonomics.

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. I have no idea what will happen with all the hardware that has been sold and all the headsets that integrated an Ultraleap controller.

So it is kind of a 1:1 physical, kind of like a simulator training for airplane pilots; they’re doing it for forklifts. Alvin: Yeah.
