You can finally buy the LeapMotion v2 accessory. The time for us XR developers to buy a LeapMotion 2 has finally come. LeapMotion 1 has been used by almost every developer and researcher , both in VR and not. Yes, the price is higher than the cheap LeapMotion 1, but this is also a far better device.
In my unboxing video, you may see that I’ve found an additional LeapMotion v1 controller + LeapMotion mount for RealMax + USB-C cable for LeapMotion. Since having a 3DOF controller with a 6DOF headset is weird (HTC and Lenovo know this well), RealMax has decided to add also support for LeapMotion.
Of course, this theory has its problems, too: TVs can be watched by many people together… but spending 12,000$ to make a family of 4 people watch TV together seems a bit too much. Of course, no one has tried this headset, yet, so we should wait before judging it, but on paper, it looks incredibly interesting.
This is of course not required for the Secure edition It is possible to add Ultraleap hand tracking for +499€. Of course, a more accurate test would be having the headset for at least 1 hour of consecutive play time, but let’s say that at least the first impressions were good in this sense.
Project North Star is an opensource reference design for a wide-FOV augmented reality headset that LeapMotion (now Ultraleap ) has given to the community. The hand tracking was fabulous as always thanks to LeapMotion and its Orion tracking. What was inferior to Microsoft’s headset was, of course, the tracking.
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 LeapMotion told me about ). Image by Microsoft). News worth a mention. Some XR fun.
And since I’m here, of course I’m spending also some time to try some cool stuff before the exhibition starts on the 19 th (after that, I will be forced to stay at my booth). And there are booths of many important companies : Lenovo, Microsoft, HP, Huawei, GoPro, etc… so this event has cool stuff to showcase. I liked it a lot.
Of course, since he has not an Apple HMD, the only thing he could obtain was the screen splitting in two on his phone, showing that view that we XR developers know very well. CEOs means a lot for a company: think about how Microsoft has changed going from Ballmer to Nadella.
To me, it seems a choice similar to what Microsoft has done with Hololens 2. Unless they will release Half Life 3 , of course. Then there is the yearly price for the service that has to be added… Another non-sense choice is the decision to force the users to buy the high-storage models.
The incumbents like Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft or Snap already own global social graphs, but perhaps looking to unseat them could be the multiplayer gaming behemoths like Sony, Activision Blizzard or EA, or 3D-specific ideas like Aura’s “avatar as a service”.
Past weekend has been the weekend of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday and the company that has dominated the sales of VR hardware has been of course Oculu s, thanks to the discounts on Rift S and Go and the great reputation of the Oculus Quest. Oculus products have gone pretty well during the Black Weekend.
Besides that, it is also hiring key figures to make this AR dream a reality : the operating system project will be supervised by Mark Lucovsky, a former Microsoft engineer who co-developed Windows NT. Of course its goal is to give importance to Steam, not to the hardware.
This aligns it with the prices for competing solutions like the Apple Vision Pro and Microsoft HoloLens 2. Of course, companies looking to leverage the most advanced passthrough features will need to pay a little more. The XR-4 series also supports UltraLeap’s LeapMotion 2 hand-tracking module for custom requirements.
Of course, you must also pre-install the game on all the devices; Batteries and chargers. These, of course, are to be bought in China and not to be taken from home. I don’t think that people at Microsoft are crying because of this. I used them to cover the light sensors of the headsets, for instance; Business Cards.
FlyInside FSX is a plugin for Microsoft Flight Simulator and Prepar3D that brings you inside a completely realistic airplane flight deck. ” Of course, users will need a way to interact with all this content, especially with more flight simulator menus and dialogs being added.
Of course, not everyone wants to—or can—be on their feet for long periods, and plenty of immersive entertainment, like watching movies, is sedentary. Hand and finger tracking, gesture interfaces, and grip simulation: LeapMotion: Manus VR: Neurodigital: Gestigon: Handpose: Usens: Dexta Robotics: Minority Report (film).
On the contrary, Microsoft has worked a lot on the platform, to make it more appealing to enterprise customers. It has released experiences like Microsoft Remote Assist, that let different teams in a company work together to solve maintenance problems. LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here.
And then, of course, a year or two years ago, you had this kind of crazy blockchain crypto space where everybody and their brother was doing an ICO, and you billions of dollars being raised from nothing. But Facebook has to stay the course. I think I’m right that I should stay the course in this investment.”

The best of them comes of course from Facebook. UltraLeap (formerly known as LeapMotion) has just launched the 5th iteration of its hands-tracking runtime, called Gemini. This new runtime improves a lot the accuracy of hand tracking on Windows PCs, even with the old LeapMotion Controller. Top news of the week.

During Oculus Connect 6 in San Jose, CA, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled that the Oculus Quest would allow for hand and finger tracking without the need of any hand controllers, and of course, I couldn’t wait to try it. Of course, the first thing I did was poke the floating eyeball. In the end, I was not disappointed. Image Credit: VRScout.
Matsuda himself subsequently began working in AR following the film's release, leading design teams at both LeapMotion (now Ultraleap) and Microsoft. Over the course of the three-day media tour in Tokyo, the company presented me with a litany of those ideas in an almost overwhelming fashion.
Billion & mind you i haven't added the overall population of #asia.Ignore us at your own risk #facebook #microsoft & the curators of those lists. He has demonstrated even more original (and less scary) ideas for AR interaction while directing UX design at LeapMotion. 25- Pankaj Raut. 29- Clyde Dsouza. 30- Thong Nguyen.
But it’s an experimental project, so of course, it has issues. Microsoft confirms (again) it wants to build consumer HoloLens. Alex Kipman, the mind behind Microsoft HoloLens, has confirmed again in an interview that Microsoft will one day build a consumer version of HoloLens.
