HTC and Valve do this with their Vive controllers that are super low latency and extremely accurate and Oculus does this with their touch controllers and their extremely natural ergonomics. The real improvements are increased performance, power savings and support for LeapMotion.
This is a period with many tech announcements: we had Meta telling about its Horizon OS, yesterday OpenAI unveiled the new GPT-4o, and today Google will hopefully unveil its Android XR operating system. What a time to be alive! For example, while holding a physical prop, such as a welding torch, the hand tracking remains robust.
Google – Daydream View. LeapMotion – LeapMotion. Zero Latency. Google – Tilt Brush. Google – Google Earth VR. Google – Tabel. Zero Latency – Zero Latency. Starbreeze – StarVR. Nominees for Mobile Headset of the Year.
Yesterday we learned that Google is teaming up with Qualcomm to produce a new line of standalone VR headsets, made in partnership with companies like HTC and Lenovo. There the company stated that its new processor was designed specifically for VR, boosting areas like visual fidelity and audio while combating other areas like latency.
Traditionally, leading tech vendors have invested in distributed network infrastructure, but many of them (such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft) are adapting to a new paradigm to support localized, persistent, collaborative, shared, multiuser interactions. Header image by LeapMotion).
This system makes the headset dependent on static hardware, however, and so top engineers at Oculus , HTC and Google are all racing to crack the inside-out code first. Addressing the latency issue is Stereo Labs main goal as they move from the prototype and begin to release dev kits. Additional reporting by Az Balabanian. .
63 for the LeapMotion Controller and VR Developer Mount , now on sale in our web store. 15 for a Google Cardboard viewer. Additional latency. You will “feel” the latency in ways that you wouldn’t on a full setup. If you’re sensitive to motion sickness, the added latency may cause you to feel uncomfortable.
But having seen Google taking a similar route, releasing a faceplate to add 6DOF controller tracking for Mirage Solo , I think that both companies realized that the hardware solution was a better solution at the moment. This is just a personal speculation of mine and there is not an official statement of HTC about it.
The World Map in this world therefore isn’t a 2D street map like we have with Google Maps or Open Street Map, nor is it a 3D map with terrain and building volumes. Both Azure Spatial Anchors and Google Cloud Anchors are leveraging existing strengths in mapping towards the AR Cloud. Insane, yet companies are mapping it already.
AR mode will be everywhere else: calling a heads up display of Google Maps on the street, stopping to catch a Pokemon in a field, or scanning the person in the coffee meeting across from you to cross-reference their LinkedIn profile. Those interactions can be mapped to brainwaves and translated into action with almost no latency.
At a recent Designers + Geeks talk , Jody Medich and Daniel Plemmons talked about some of the discoveries our team has made (and the VR best practices we’ve developed) while building VR experiences with the Oculus Rift and the LeapMotion Controller. Here’s what we’ve learned building menus for LeapMotion.
Google Cardboard ($15) . Google Cardboard, developed by Google for the promotion of the VR concept, is indeed made up of cardboard, and in different sizes for compatibility with different smartphones. It was first distributed to attendants at the 2014 Google I/O meeting as a gift. Google Daydream View ($99).
You probably have heard about LeapMotion’s Project North Star , that should be able to offer people affordable augmented reality. Notice a LeapMotion sensor installed on top of it. Project North Star is an opensource augmented reality headset that LeapMotion has designed and gifted to the community.
Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, LeapMotion and many others joined the ecosystem. Reducing Latency is Becoming Complex Trends Presence in VR requires low latency, and reducing latency is not easy. Low latency is also not the result of one single technique. Google Glass has not been as successful as hoped.
