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 Leap Motion has raised a $50M Series C for their hand- and finger-tracking technology.

“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 hand tracking is very rough, so do not expect a Leap Motion -type interface, but it can be good for some VR applications. And Vive Controllers?

And there is even more: during the whole conference, Oculus has not mentioned updates for the Rift S and has not talked about the headset at all, if not to announce the new AAA PC VR games , that will be anyway playable also via Link. A hearthbreaking story by Damo9000 about the Quest vs Rift S: click on it to see how it goes.

Leap Motion. You may ask why I’m adding Leap Motion here. Well, during 2018, Leap Motion 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 Leap Motion’s sensor.
