They sold this money machine to focus on a technology that is currently not making any relevant money. 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.

Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, Leap Motion and many others joined the ecosystem. If developers use an API from one peripheral vendor, they need to learn a new API for each new device. Some accept a high-end gaming PC, while others prefer inexpensive Android machines. It turns out that others share this vision.

And it's pretty cool that we get to experiment with the latest and greatest machine learning models, and try to get the most out of those chips. But after seeing what came out of CES this year, and learning about this Qualcomm XR2 chip, you've now got AR glasses coming out en masse. There's still some things to be solved.

Their computer vision team came up with a new method of using deep learning to understand the position of your fingers using just the monochrome cameras featured on the Quest, with no active depth-sensing cameras, additional sensors, or extra processors required. It’s not perfect, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.

It uses a new method of deep learning to reconstruct the pose of the hands of the user. Then there are the problems that are inherent to all hands-tracking solutions like Leap Motion : no haptic feedback, virtual hands that trespass objects they are interacting with, and such.

According to creator Bertz ( @cbrpnkrd ), its “monochrome art style bears reference to industrial design, machine vision, and the works of Tsutomu Nihei. I’ll be honest, this was the first time I’d ever had exposure to the Leap Motion Controller. Since then I’ve learned so much and continue to learn more.”.

The technology behind it is pretty cool: you have some cameras (I guess RGB + depth) that scan yourself live in 3D , compress the data with a special Google algorithm, send it to the other peer, where it gets decompressed and reconstructed in real-time on a light field display.

Learn more. Ultraleap releases Gemini hands-tracking runtime. It was already great, but now the games will be even better!
