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.
