Rumors suggest Apple might be working on some new AR specs too, and Samsung might even decide to switch its upcoming XR headset out for a pair of smart glasses. They were among the first in the industry to achieve a retina-level display, combined with gesturecontrol capabilities and a true “wireless” wearing experience.
Qualcomm has debuted an updated version of their VR Headset Reference Design now with Leap Motion’s new 180-degree hand-tracking to bring gesturecontrol to mobile VR headsets. Leap Motion has been working on hand-tracking technology since 2010, and in recent years has pivoted their focus toward use as an input technology for VR.
That, in turn, allowed their partner developers to secure key contracts as they figured their way around the new technology. Because of that we hope – and it would make sense – if they adopt an OEM for their Mixed Reality technology. Between Magic Leap and HoloLens, which is going to win over developers?
The Gear VR Killer App contest hosted by Samsung at the Upload Collective earlier this month brought in a hundred-plus technophiles eager for a chance to check out the finalists — and to find out which (if any) deserved “killer app” status. “[It] Or put more simply: A killer app “turns a technology into a product.”.
Qualcomm shut it down to focus on Snapdragon Spaces Learn more News from partners (and friends) Distance Technologies got a €10M investment Distance Technology, the glass-free AR startup founded by two of the co-founders of Varjo, just got €10M investment from Google Ventures.
