LeapMotion , a maker of hand-tracking software and hardware, has been experimenting with exactly that, and is teasing some very interesting results. LeapMotion has shown lots of cool stuff that can be done with their hand-tracking technology, but most of it is seen through the lens of VR.
Keiichi Matsuda went from being a dystopian filmmaker to becoming the Vice President of Design at hand-tracking company LeapMotion. LeapMotion recently announced their open source AR HMD reference design called Project North Star , which has a 95° wide by 70° high field of view with 65% stereo overlap & 1,600 × 1,440 per eye.
Years ago, LeapMotion made headlines when they released footage of their intuitive LeapMotion 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. pic.twitter.com/SB8SNidbCG.
If you remember well, HTC was already experimenting with implementing 6 DOF tracking for controllers through a software solution that, tracking the user’s hands, was able to infer the position of the controller (or controllers). We don’t know if the software solution will continue its development on a parallel road, though.
Psychic VR Lab, the developers of VR creative platform STYLY , took charge of the software. Masahiro Yamaguchi (CEO, Psychic VR Lab), God Scorpion (Media artist, Psychic VR Lab), Keiichi Matsuda (VP Design, LeapMotion), Oda Yuda (Designer), Akihiro Fujii (CTO, Psychic VR Lab). Recently we caught up with them.
In his 1984 classic Neuromancer, characters entered a virtual reality world called “the matrix” (inspiration for the 1999 film of the same name by the Wachowskis). Augmented vision is commonplace in futuristic films, from Minority Report to Iron Man. What kind of devices and software will we need to participate in this AR Cloud?
Bringing new worlds to life doesn’t end with bleeding-edge software – it’s also a battle with the laws of physics. LeapMotion North Star calibration combines a foundational principle of Newtonian optics with virtual jiggling. The equally devious solution is to film each eye’s optics from two cameras simultaneously.
I got my LeapMotion Controller at the start of 2014, and quickly went about making demos. Aside from this, my major work with LeapMotion is my game Robot Chess , a relatively simple game which allows you to use your hands to pick up and move around chess pieces as you play against a robotic AI opponent.
With input from a LeapMotion Controller, Hovercast radiates from the palm of your hand – becoming a powerful, versatile extension of your virtual self. The demo requires a LeapMotion Controller and (optionally) an Oculus Rift headset. As you rotate your palm toward your eyes, the Hovercast menu fades into view.
China-India & the other Asian Nations have some really interesting #augmentedreality #virtualreality #mixedreality #startups Innovating across Hardware, Software & Content. Chaitanya has had a multi-faceted career in the Indian Film & CreativeArtsIndustry for over 17 years. 6- Chaitanya Chinchlikar. 9- Eddie Avil.
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.
Delivering on the promise of VR with game-changing technology and best-in-class content, VIVE has created the strongest ecosystem for VR hardware and software, bringing VR to consumers, developers and enterprises alike. Well, I mean, he’s done a lot with his various documentary films, trying to bring VR to a larger group of people.

The software is very famous , and some videos about artists drawing with it have become so viral that even mainstream people have seen them. The good news is that the software has not just been discontinued, but it has been released open-source, so the community can keep it alive and improve it. This is a piece of great news.
I have filmed it for you! The front features a glossy plastic lid , that can be removed to uncover the so-called “frunk”, a hole with a USB-3 port , that can be used to attach accessories like LeapMotion to the Index. The good news is that this can be fixed via software in the future. And guess what?
