From WebAR to Wearables: The AR Moments of 2019 and What’s In Store for 2020. Excitement around wearables hits a fever pitch: The talk around wearables has already been dubbed the “Face Race.” The post WebAR to Wearables: AR’s 2020 Outlook appeared first on AR Insider. Authors’ opinions are their own. .
When you think about “haptics,” particularly in the sense of extended reality , you probably think about hardware and wearables that let you interact with and feel your environment. The other product is an “interaction builder” for creating gesturecontrols. However, that’s only half the story. Interaction Builder Interface.
Two examples happened to take place just recently, both using Snap Lens Studio to create wearable NFTs. Earlier editions of Lens Studio allowed full-body gesturecontrols that triggered certain effects but they weren’t able to convincingly track the body to the level required for wearables like Byte’s jacket.
The most recent MANUS product is the SteamVR tracker for precise gesturecontrols and motion capture. “As The company is probably best known for its lines of haptic vests and other wearables that make VR more immersive by bringing in more of your senses. They don’t have all of you covered, but they come close.
Wristbands like Mudra Link are an exciting development in wearable technology and hold a lot of promise for robust input within glasses and headsets. Until then, I look forward to hearing more from Mudra Link and about other wearable XR technologies.
Demand for lightweight, convenient, and versatile wearable tech has exploded to the point that virtual reality headsets almost seem to be taking a backseat. The Best Smart Glasses in 2025: Our Top Picks Ready to take the leap into a new age of wearable technology? The question is, which glasses have the most to offer right now?
Moreover, the devices come with innovative interaction and collaboration features, such as touchless gesturecontrol, to deliver a fresh method of spatial content interaction without relying on bulky and restrictive head-mounted devices.
Already, we’re interacting with a range of artificially intelligent bots and automated tools through gestures, and voice. Gesturecontrol managed by motion or hand tracking technologies may allow future engineers and construction workers to operate machinery from a distance, using IoT connected devices, AI, and edge computing.
At AWE this week, leading XR headset vendor Magic Leap and gesture technology innovators Doublepoint Technologies are highlighting a deep product partnership to distribute WowMouse, an input device that leverages Android smartwatches to enable gesturecontrols such as pinch and gaze for AR applicaitons.
On a broad level, all forms of virtual reality attempt to immerse users in an experience using a combination of sensors, artificial intelligence, and hardware (such as wearable headsets). There are no advanced “spatial computing” features like sensors or gesturecontrols. How Does Virtual Reality Work for Non-Immersive VR?
The company, which was founded by three friends, Stephen Lake, Matthew Bailey and Aaron Grant, had formed the company, then called Thalmic Labs, to develop an EMG based gesturecontroller, the Mio Armband , (which is still the most capable EMG controller ever offered to consumers), before pivoting into the perilous waters of augmented reality.
First, the Pico 4s device looks to come with controllers for conventional XR navigation. Second, the promo images showcase a wristband-style controller that suggests hand tracking and gesturecontrol. Other details outlined in the Pico 4s leak include Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset integration and 12GB of RAM.
From Rift to Apple Watch to Snap Spectacles, the trend is toward wearable computing. In the 1970’s scientists at the University of California popularized the term “brain-computer interface” or BCI , referring to a hardware and software system that uses brainwaves to control devices. Gesturecontrols preclude hands-free operation.
support, 6GB/128GB storage WiFi, 8GB/256GB storage 5G, and gesturecontrol support. Starting at $199.00, Beam Pro devices come as either a Wi-Fi or 5G dedicated product with additional specifications that vary based on the models chosen – including a 6.5-inch
Nreal is supplying the MR wearables to deliver the BMW showcase. When a Nreal device owner starts BMW’s digital presentation, they can explore a fully digitised model of the iX1 car using gesturecontrol. The presentation enables participants to inspect a digital twin of the BMW iX1 vehicle.
XR devices are all over the headlines this month; the release of the Apple Vision Pro has brought spatial computing/mixed reality wearables to the forefront of emerging workplace and consumer-based digital solutions. In addition to comfort, AR glasses should have intuitive controls and user-friendly interfaces.
It includes gesturecontrols for interacting with real-time 3D (RT3D) content. The headset also has built-in spatial sound for a truly immersive experience. It also integrates a 5-mic array for communication and voice commands. One should also note its hand-tracking capabilities. Field of view.

A handful of utilities are piloting and, in a few cases, even deploying wearable technologies, but the greatest share of interest is and has been around augmented reality. when digging up a street) and it supports both voice and gesturecontrols so the user has free use of his hands. Duke Energy . Through Augmented Reality.
Regarding hand tracking, Xiaomi’s latest AR smart glasses boast micro gesturecontrols, leading to enhanced human-computer interfacing (HCI) capabilities. These allow users to swipe virtual pages in manuals and eBooks, exit apps, navigate maps, and other controls.
However, it’s uncertain whether Meta will implement other spatial computing capabilities into its specs, such as gesturecontrol. For instance, AI will allow you to use your voice to load up certain apps and features. We’re pretty certain that these glasses will offer a unique combination of augmented reality and AI.
Motion Capture software, or “Mocap systems”, are particularly valuable for content creators looking to enhance XR experiences with realistic avatars, motion, and gesturecontrols. Mocap solutions are primarily used for the creation of XR content.

Thalmic Labs, makers of the gesturecontrol armband MYO may be working on a new VR controller, a wristband device which senses the position of your fingers. The company is teasing new products after closing a whopping $120 million Series B investment.
However, to unlock the full benefits these wearables offer teams, first, you need to identify the most important AR smart glasses features for field workers. Some products are designed specifically to last for an entire workday (8 hours or more), while others come with hot-swappable batteries to extend the lifespan of wearables.
They also dont have a lot of built-in tech for spatial computing features (like gesturecontrol), and theyre pretty expensive (over $4,000). Instead, you get a basic set of binocular lenses, powered by Vuzix (one of the leaders in the wearable computing space).
