Launched back in 2012, Leap Motion first introduced us to their new way of interacting with computers in three dimensions. At the time, the Leap Motion 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.

They have been so kind to set up a demo just for me in Beijing (the company is from Shenzhen) to let me try their product and have a chat about it, and I really want to thank them for their kindness and the time they spent with me. The world had seen enough fancy demos people can’t have access to. That’s like magic.

Project North Star is an opensource reference design for a wide-FOV augmented reality headset that Leap Motion (now Ultraleap ) has given to the community. The hand tracking was fabulous as always thanks to Leap Motion and its Orion tracking. First of all, the choice of the demo program has been very weird.

The shape of the controllers is slightly different than the one of the Oculus Touch, though, and there is a ring that surrounds the wrist of the user. There is also “finger-tracking” a la Valve Index , but just for the thumb, index, and middle finger (so, it is more a la Oculus Touch).

I found very interesting that they are trying to create full-body VR content for the Oculus Quest. I have instead tried another demo for Oculus Quest called Anamika, where you impersonate a four-armed Indian goddess. Another demo was more relaxing, and showed an interior design environment, with very high quality.
