Yesterday for the first time I have attended the Vive Ecosystem Conference in Shenzhen, China! The conference has begun with the classical inspiring keynote held by Mister President Alvin Wang Graylin. The post VEC 2019 – All the most important news from the Vive Ecosystem Conference appeared first on The Ghost Howls.
Today at its Vive Ecosystem Conference 2018 in China, HTC said that the 3DOF Vive Focus controller will see a 6DOF mode, and further said that the headset will soon include controller-less hand-tracking for gesture input. 3DOF to 6DOF Controller Upgrade.
On stage at Vive Developer Conference in Beijing, HTC today unveiled their upcoming standalone VR headset, Vive Focus. These accessories could include LeapMotion, VR input gloves, 6DoF controllers and even eye-tracking solutions if manufacturers are so willing, Engadget reports.
Its CEO, Ed Mason, has frequented the VR conference circuit for years now showing off headset designs. Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to come back and see what he was showing with my own eyes before the conference ended, but after the show we did have a chance to dig into what GameFace is working on: the GF-LD headset.
Today it’s a great day for virtual reality: at WCVRI conference, HTC has just announced a kit to provide 6 DOF controllers for Vive Focus and has showcased a hands-tracking technology for the Vive Pro ! Nanchang City is showing a very warm welcome for the 4000+ delegates of the “World Conference of the VR Industry”. #VR
. — There were some high-profile flameouts in 2019, including Meta, ODG and Daqri, while others exited below previous funding totals (a veritable down-round), including LeapMotion. This is a perfectly valid construct but it’s arguably overused in nearly every conference presentation these days on AR’s status.
Unlike the Lucasfilm AR headset, which uses a smartphone to power it (like the Google Daydream or the Samsung Gear VR does), the company says this concept is a standalone, self-powered headset. San Francisco-based LeapMotion has raised a $50M Series C for their hand- and finger-tracking technology.
Even with the organizers of the event, I have to speak mostly in Chinese (hence my headache) and use a lot of Baidu Fanyi (the Chinese counterpart of Google Translate). This signs seems to say: 2019 World Conference on NO VR INDUSTRY. LeapMotion) on the same headset. No one speaks well in English, seriously.
The system is already used on the $3,000 HoloLens, an advanced augmented reality system, but with it employed on a low-cost VR headset Microsoft may have leapfrogged efforts by both Facebook and Google, powered by Windows. Microsoft has positioned itself across the entire space, and will drive mixed reality into the enterprise in 2017.”
The annual Proto Awards, set up to highlight and honour the best and brightest the VR industry has to offer, is over for another year, with Google’s Tilt Brush walking away as the overall winner. Pearl – Google Spotlight Studios. Tilt Brush – Google. Most Innovative: Tilt Brush – Google (Winner). The Lab – Valve.
I attended the Experiential Technology Conference (XTech) in San Francisco this week to hear talks about creating virtual experiences that truly immerse you in another world. Above: David Holz, founder of LeapMotion, shows off hand-tracking in VR. The headset used sensors to detect my fingers, using software from LeapMotion.
The conference and expo saw nearly 7,000 attendees, a 30% increase over 2018. 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.
The Quest has dominated the searches on Google and it has gone sold out quite soon, and people that really wanted to buy it had to buy it from some online resellers that offered it at higher prices. More info (Oculus Go being best-seller on Amazon) More info (Oculus Quest sold out) More info (Oculus Quest vs PSVR Google search stats).
“Hold my beer”: this is what the Vive Focus has told to all other standalone headsets yesterday at the Vive Ecosystem Conference in Shenzhen. This is also an answer to Lenovo Mirage Solo, that lets you directly install apps from Google Play. The headset has taken a big step forward with the 2.0
LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here. Well, during 2018, LeapMotion has announced the North Star reference design : a cheap augmented reality connected to PC, that is able to detect your hands very well thanks to LeapMotion’s sensor.
You will be able to attend the conference for free inside Venues or on the Facebook page of Facebook Reality Labs. Boz has explained that the conference won’t be only about Oculus (whatever this name means now), but it will also be about SparkAR, Portal, and all the other innovative projects by Facebook.
You probably have heard about LeapMotion’s Project North Star , that should be able to offer people affordable augmented reality. Notice a LeapMotion sensor installed on top of it. Project North Star is an opensource augmented reality headset that LeapMotion has designed and gifted to the community.
He is the Founder of Immersion- India’s 1st & largest AR/VR Conference plus the Founder of #XROM an AR/VR News website plus a B2B2C Marketplace which has the largest inventory of XR Products to Buy,Sell or Rent. The company was later acquired by Google in 2010. 9- Eddie Avil. 12- Tipatat Chennavasin. 18- Nina Salomons.
Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, LeapMotion and many others joined the ecosystem. More People Exposed to more VR Applications in More Places Trends Just a few years ago, the biggest VR-centric conference of the year had 500 attendees. Google Glass has not been as successful as hoped. Magic Leap is not commercial yet.
At the end of its latest conference, the company behind Snapchat has announced its fourth generation of Spectacles glasses, the first one featuring real-time AR. Google unveils Starline communication solution. At Google I/O, Google has announced Project Starline, an interesting project it has worked on for five years.
I’ve used Google search to find all the pages with references to Del Mar in the Oculus website, and all the docs are identical to the previous versions. Google will delay the release of Chrome 81 , the one that should have included WebAR. Yes, Android, Google. Another great UX post by LeapMotion.
