Additionally, the group has added new extensions to the standard to support hand-tracking and eye-tracking. The time to embrace OpenXR is now,” said Don Box, Technical Fellow at Microsoft. “In ” Khronos also announced new extensions to OpenXR which expand the standard to support hand-tracking and eye-tracking.
Qualcomm and Ultraleap today announced a “multi-year co-operation agreement” that will bring Ultraleap’s controllerless hand-tracking tech (formerly of LeapMotion) to XR headsets based on the Snapdragon XR2 chipset. Ultraleap claims to have the “fastest, most accurate, and most robust hand tracking.”
They teased a lot of interesting features and services of the device, and left the remaining technical details to some technical sheets on Microsoft website. But Microsoft, thanks to innovative 2K displays, has managed to keep the same high-quality pixel density of the HoloLens 1, that is 47 PPD (pixels per degree). Resolution.
And as I promised you, I’m sharing with you all my impressions , so you will feel as if you were here with me… Today I will talk with you about the WCVRI event, the RealMax AR glasses and the Droolon F1 eyetracking accessory! LeapMotion) on the same headset. Is it really important? And… how is Nanchang?
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.
It should run on top of an M2 chipset, which is much more powerful than the processing unit of the Quest 2, 4K displays per eye with strong HDR (a rumor talks about a 5000-nits display, about which many are lost in the optical path), a quite nice FOV. It is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Android, and costs $140.
” SEE ALSO Most Windows VR Headsets Have Vanished from the Microsoft Store, Limited Stock Elsewhere. Promised back in the Kickstarter days, Pimax says that it’s been delayed due to LeapMotion’s acquisition by ULtraHaptics.
This is of course not required for the Secure edition It is possible to add Ultraleap hand tracking for +499€. The tiny dots that you see are the LEDs for eyetracking The FOV was larger than usual (e.g. The lenses of the device. larger than Quest) and this is good for enhancing immersion.
This less expensive unit is said to be available by the end of this year while GF-LD with SteamVR Tracking is aiming for availability to developers in the middle of 2018. Both headsets are said to feature a Tegra chip and 2560 x 1440 OLED displays, along with LeapMotion, front-facing stereo cameras and eye-tracking.
All the other major companies (Samsung, Huawei, etc…) are working on AR and Apple for sure can’t stop experimenting with if it doesn’t want to miss the next communication platform as Microsoft did with Windows Phone. A new job listing points out to the fact that Oculus is planning to integrate eyetracking in its next devices.
The Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) by Microsoft is an open-source toolkit that has been around since the HoloLens was first released in 2016. Microsoft-driven MRTK-Unity is a suite of components and capabilities used to speed the creation of cross-platform MR applications in Unity. Understanding the MRTK-Unity Toolkit for MR Developers.
To me, it seems a choice similar to what Microsoft has done with Hololens 2. This will let some people create cheap tracking solutions in their spaces, and will allow some LBVR centers to avoid using complex systems like OptiTrack. Me trying a SteamVR multiroom setup in Beijing, China. not VR 2.0.
Well, with this new chip, headsets will: Have a resolution of 3K per eye ; Have up to 7 cameras used simultaneously (12 in total for the device). This is for sure great for giving people awareness of what AR is good at, and Microsoft can be happy about it. It’s a very interesting story, that I suggest you all to read.
Eyetracking will enable more realistic interactions with both NPCs and human avatars, along with detailed analytics, heatmapping, and privacy concerns. Hand and finger tracking, gesture interfaces, and grip simulation: LeapMotion: Manus VR: Neurodigital: Gestigon: Handpose: Usens: Dexta Robotics: Minority Report (film).
HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). The Neo 2 may not be sexy as the Quest, but it is more powerful (thanks to the Snapdragon 845), has a crisper resolution , and in the “Eye” version, it also features embedded eyetracking.
On the contrary, Microsoft has worked a lot on the platform, to make it more appealing to enterprise customers. It has released experiences like Microsoft Remote Assist, that let different teams in a company work together to solve maintenance problems. LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here.
Dean: Getting back to the platform owners, I think if you look at HTC and some of the things that they’ve done… you know, they did an eye-tracking version of the HTC Vive here. Alan: The VIVE Pro Eye. And now, to this day, I think it remains Microsoft’s best pivot ever. Dean: Yeah.

Alan: With Facebook now working on AR, and you've got Magic Leap, and Microsoft's Hololens. And, you know, Magic Leap-- people are going to expect when they walk around holograms, they stay put. Alan: What's the next step for hand tracking, then? You've got-- you're able to track hands very precisely. Varag: Yeah.

Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, LeapMotion and many others joined the ecosystem. Eyetracking software converts eye images into gaze direction. Hand tracking software converts hand position into gestures. If you are an eyetracking expert, you can add an eyetracking plugin.
