One of the first accessories for AR/VR I had the opportunity to work on is the LeapMotion hands tracking controller : I made some cool experiments and prototypes with it and the Oculus Rift DK2. LeapMotion has also been the first important company I have interviewed in this blog. Hands-on with UltraLeap demos.
In fact, Intel was already demoing hand tracking this year at CES with their Project Alloy prototype. HTC and Valve do this with their Vive controllers that are super low latency and extremely accurate and Oculus does this with their touch controllers and their extremely natural ergonomics.
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.
XTAL is an enterprise headset with incredible specifications, like for instance: 5120 x 1440 display resolution (2560 x 1440 per eye); OLED display Custom non-Fresnel lenses 180° diagonal FOV Spatial 3D sound from a built-in sound card Embedded microphone Embedded eye tracking Auto-IPD adjustment Embedded Leapmotion v2 sensor.
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 ! The Venture Reality Fund and of course HTC. — Alvin Wang Graylin (@AGraylin) October 18, 2018. Really fantastic.
Hand-tracking looks likely to play a big part in that future, and LeapMotion 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. Tagged with: hand tracking , leapmotion , qualcomm , standalone.
Object tracking : Hyperion allows the LeapMotion Controller 2 camera to track AR Markers (also known as fiducial markers) enabling tracking of any object. Robust to handling objects: Hyperion offers superior hand tracking while holding an object in your hand, making it perfect for mixed reality.
The devices at the time included: HTC Vive wands that shipped with the Vive headset. Fully immersive VR experiences bring us to tracked motion controllers. The HTC Vive wands, Oculus Touch controllers, and Playstation Move controllers have set the standard since their respective releases. HTC Vive wands. LEAPMotion.
Probably Ultraleap, or even when it was just LeapMotion, should have aimed to be bought by a headset manufacturer before all the major XR brands started developing hand tracking internally. I have no idea what will happen with all the hardware that has been sold and all the headsets that integrated an Ultraleap controller.
Launched back in 2012, LeapMotion first introduced us to their new way of interacting with computers in three dimensions. At the time, the LeapMotion sensor sat on your desk or was built into your keyboard, allowing for natural hand and finger movement tracking. There was one thing — the device never really caught on.
From my tests, the image on the screen appears slightly distorted, so there will be something to fix on HTC’s side. Better integration with HTC phones. Yesterday HTC has also unveiled its new flagship phone, the HTC U12+. The Vive Focus and its friend the HTC U12+ phone (Image by HTC). Image by HTC).
Ctrl+Labs already demoed it years ago: check out the link to the Dino Game that I added below this paragraph. More info (FRL Official blog post) More info (Road To VR reporting and commenting the news) More info (Ctrl+Labs’s Dino Game Early Demo) More info (ETH’s experimental wristband). As long as it works….

This way your gloves are powered and can communicate with your PC; Setup of the HTC Vive system.
Project Alloy stands alone among the current lineup of technologies available because it isn’t tethered to a desktop computer like HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, nor does it use a smartphone like Google Cardboard, Gear VR or Google Daydream. All the computing power, cameras and sensors used by Project Alloy are completely self-contained.

LeapMotion adds a whole new level of expression to your virtual avatar – so you can point, wave, or dance. Watch for more Vive-compatible demos on our developer gallery. UE4 has built-in Vive support, and with the new official plugin release in Unreal Engine 4.11 , it’s easier than ever to get started with LeapMotion + Vive.
Markers can be used to define where to show virtual elements, and in the demo that I tried were used to show virtual Chinese artworks in a room; LeapMotion device on Realmax glasses. RealMax can mount a LeapMotion device, so you have the power of using naturally your hands to interact with AR elements.
I had a chance to catch up with the lead designer of Manus VR , Stijn Stumpel , at GDC where we compared Manus VR to LeapMotion, talked about how the flex sensors work, the use cases where having tracked hands makes sense, their extremely polished demo called Pillow’s Willow, and where they’re going in the future.
But that first version of the glove required a third-party tracking system like LeapMotion in order to translate the movement of the user’s hands into virtual reality. Castillo told me that the particular demo that I experience was made to show the tracking and not so much the haptics.
VR-2 Pro adds an integrated LeapMotion and a 10m cable. In a new cool demo made by startup 6d.ai, you can see the smartphone reconstructing the world around it as if it were made by Lego Bricks. It also adds compatibility with SteamVR, so you can play Steam games and enterprise applications with Varjo. It is impressive!
Hands-On: Manus VR Arm And Finger Tracking System Now In Production Regardless of whether or not you prefer the HTC Vive or the Oculus Touch , or maybe the PlayStation Move controllers , the fact remains none of these solutions actually offer 1:1 tracking for your entire hand. During my hands-on session, I got to try two different demos.
63 for the LeapMotion Controller and VR Developer Mount , now on sale in our web store. This transforms your phone into a VR headset screen, simulating devices like the HTC Vive. The experience within the headset will be at least a couple of frames behind what you would experience on the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.
You had better going to your booth with already all the devices and accessories you need to demo your game to people. Compile a list of all the things that you need to make the demos and then buy them. She has been super helpful and I don’t know how we could manage to demo the game without her. Mind your booth position.

Prior to the demo, the prospect of testing these gloves was an exciting one. Retailing for nearly £5,000 GBP (more than Magic Leap One or an HTC Vive Pro Eye) Manus Prime Haptic offers full finger tracking thanks to Flexpoint’s Bend Sensors as well as individual haptics for each finger and thumb.
That application became Cat Explorer , which you can download now for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. On the surface it’s a fun, slightly twisted tech demo. This is the core of our mission at LeapMotion. The post Designing Cat Explorer appeared first on LeapMotion Blog.
Once it arrives, the new official LeapMotion UE4 plugin should work with it right away. Do LeapMotiondemos work with the 1.3 For older demos, you might also want to try a runtime switcher utility. The post Oculus Rift Consumer Edition FAQ appeared first on LeapMotion Blog. counterparts.
This was what inspired me to create Graffiti 3D – a VR demo that I entered into the LeapMotion 3D Jam. Using the LeapMotion Controller’s image passthrough, you can create something from nothing, right there in your living room: An early creation from Patrik Jensen , before I started using the Hovercast menu system.
The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. Here’s my best guess of what the future high-end VR setup looks like.
With the LeapMotion Unity Core Assets and Modules , you can start building right away with features like custom-designed hands, user interfaces, and event triggers. The Core Assets and Modules themselves all include demo scenes, which are often the best way to get started. LeapMotion Core Assets. UI Input Module.
I made a demo of that, but it will take a little while to get it integrated into the companion app. This is something that I predicted and it is also in line with the vision of the competitor HTC that says that standalones are products for consumers while PC VR is something for gamers and prosumers. Other research projects.

I think I even tried to get an interview with John Carmack, like, the day after he did a demo at E3. They found medical companies that were more interested in how precise those hand controllers could be, so they started doing demos, like a virtual catheter insertion and other kinds of medical training demos. Alan: “HaptX.”H-A-P-T-X,
