Leap Motion has announced it’s to early access to the beta of its Interaction Engine , a set of systems designed to help developers implement compelling, realistic and hopefully frustration-free input with just their hands.

For example, while holding a physical prop, such as a welding torch, the hand tracking remains robust. Object tracking : Hyperion allows the Leap Motion Controller 2 camera to track AR Markers (also known as fiducial markers) enabling tracking of any object. I believe there will be many use cases for this.

Years ago, Leap Motion made headlines when they released footage of their intuitive Leap Motion device. For those not familiar with their namesake, this peripheral allowed users to control everything on their PCs with intuitive motion controls and gestures, as seen in the video below.

For example, you can use Scale to change the cube’s dimensions and scroll to the bottom to add a Rigidbody so you can interact with the object you select. For example, you can have single-point interactions, like tracking the hand motion alone. The image above is a Leap Motion hand-tracking demo.

If you imagine shuffling the soundtracks in these three examples, you can understand how it would fundamentally change the experience. Blocks , for example, is designed with a wide range of sounds – from the high and low electronic notes that signal the block creation interactions, to the echoes of blocks bashing against the floor.

For example, they could be used for training in industrial facilities, physical therapy, rehab, real estate tours, the list goes on. In one case study, a multiple-sclerosis patient used Cybershoes along with a Leap Motion sensor to walk around a subway system while using her hands to push doors.

With my left motion controller (in this case Oculus Touch) I can change the tools in my hand to suit a variety of different needs. For example, I can use two hands to pull through the air, creating surfaces with curves in them, making it easy to create a bend in the front of a shoe, for example.

In theory, the gloves could paired with other technologies like a Leap Motion sensor to simulate a wide range of activities. The Kor-FX and Hardlight Suit, for example, are VR-ready vests that allow you to “feel” impacts and pressure on your chest through haptic feedback.

For example, a friend’s leg could be bending backward in an awkward way that reminds you what you’re seeing is faked. Two more Optitrack pucks on each hand or arm and the use of Leap Motion (which recently got big funding ) or gloves could provide the final bit of finger tracking for complete full-body immersion.

It is still not perfect ( Leap Motion is still more accurate), but surely it is a step forward from the Oculus Touch.
