Hand-tracking looks likely to play a big part in that future, and Leap Motion is one of a few companies leading the charge in this department. Leap’s latest, well, leap is to bring its controller-free hand tracking tech to mobile VR headsets. Hopefully, great software will follow suit.

At this point, there is another question that every one of us is making: is this a controlled leak by Valve itself? I’m not saying that it is absolutely a controlled leak… I just want to say that personally, I believe that it is. If it is a SteamVR 2 device, it can for sure work with all the SteamVR controllers.

Without using Vive Trackers or other sensors, they try to reconstruct the pose of the full body of the users by just using the pose of the headset and the two controllers. The very original idea is that among these 4 arms, two are controlled by you (with your controllers) and the other two are controlled by the other player.
