Half Dome introduces a much larger 140 degree field of view (to the Rift’s ~100 degree) along with a varifocal display and eye-tracking. Then there’s eye-tracking—the ability for the headset to know precisely which direction your eyes are looking— which can enable game-changing capabilities.
The SDK will support eye-tracked foveation and fixed foveation (like the one of Oculus Go); The Vive Focus will soon have finger tracking : for every hand, you will be able to have something similar to what LeapMotion offers. This kind of approach is what we developers need for VR.
The root of the HMD Accelerator Program is the Snapdragon 835-based VRDK reference headset, an all-in-one mobile VR headset with inside-out 6DOF tracking, a 90Hz 2560×1440 AMOLED display, 100 degree field of view, 4GB of RAM, eye-tracking, and hand-tracking ( via LeapMotion’s new mobile sensor ).
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.
A variation called the VR-2 also offers integrated hand-tracking via Ultraleap (formerly LeapMotion). Alongside the VR-2, Varjo will also offer a VR-2 Pro which will include integrated hand-tracking via Ultraleap (formerly LeapMotion), as well as a removable counterweight for the back of the headset to achieve better balance.
Hand and eyetracking tools, capable of sensing the movements, gestures, and gaze of a user, can take XR experiences to a new level. Innovators in the world of Mixed Reality, Microsoft relies heavily on concepts like hand and eyetracking to help users combine the physical and digital worlds.
If it has to be cheap to compete with Oculus, I guess that audio will be normal… EyeTracking. There are no signs of eyetracking in this headset. But someone spotted a patent by Valve where eyetracking sensors were hidden inside the lens tubes themselves and so are not visible.
This includes professional-grade eye-tracking running up to 210 frames per second, LeapMotion hand-tracking, a built-in VirtualLink cable system, a helmet-compatible mount, as well as an augmented reality add-on module for mixed reality experiences. .
Think about it as an eye-tracking device that instead of looking into your eyes, reads inside your skull. NextMind vs EyeTracking. At this point of the article, you may ask yourself: but if NextMind lets you just select objects with your eyes, why don’t we simply use an eye-tracking device?
It featured a 2560×1440 AMOLED display, 6DoF tracking, eyetracking, foveated rendering and and even hand-tracking by way of LeapMotion integration. Since then Qualcomm revealed an updated version of its own reference design for a standalone VR headset (pictured above) that used the 835 too.
These accessories could include LeapMotion, VR input gloves, 6DoF controllers and even eye-tracking solutions if manufacturers are so willing, Engadget reports. HTC says the Vive Wave VR SDK offers an open interface enabling interoperability between numerous mobile VR headsets and accessories.
