It seems cool, but I would like to try it to believe in it: all the times that someone promised me some kind of sensory magic, it never turned out so good as they told me (like with the phantom touch sensation that LeapMotion told me about ). Google halves its revenues on the Play Store. Nreal Light is on sale in Germany.
Click To Tweet When someone first puts on a LeapMotion-enabled VR headset, it often seems like they’re rediscovering how to use their own hands. VR design pro-tip: human beings move in curves. Interacting with just the tip of a thumb on a small trackball, and a whole group spinning a Kugel Fountain. In a sense, they are.
It has bought the hand-tracking company LeapMotion various months ago for $30M since the two hardware are a perfect fit the one for the other. The bad is that they are just audio smartglasses, that only provide audio directly to your ears and nothing more; Iristick has started offering its smart glasses that look like Google Glass.
Designed for the Oculus Rift, it’s available free for Mac and Windows on the LeapMotion App Store. Over time, my interest shifted to Unity3D, and now I love to tinker with new hardware like the LeapMotion, Oculus Rift, or Kinect – which led to experiments like Hoverboard VR , Polyrider , and Soundscape VR.
Some months ago, we all read that letter where Zuckerberg claimed wanting to get complete control of the hardware and software stack so that Facebook shouldn’t depend on external companies, like Google or Apple for the SO, or phone manufacturers for the hardware.
We did a project just using Google's hand tracking library. Are things like midair haptics-- I know-- I guess LeapMotion would be a competitor to you guys, even though they're using a hardware solution to do that. But things like midair haptics, with the Ultra Haptics or the Ultra Leap now. Alan: We actually did it.

In Taiwan, all western websites work and so you don’t need to set up a VPN just to use Google. And with the stylus, you can easily manipulate them : for instance, you can put the tip of the pen on a 3D object, press the little button with your index finger and then move and rotate the pen to move and rotate the object.
. “To improve the usability of virtual keyboards for text input,” says creator Soma, “I investigated key selection methods and shapes and layouts of virtual keys, then proposed a new user interface design utilizing tip pinch, and implemented a prototype application. Please try a new text input interface using LeapMotion!”
Google unveils Starline communication solution. At Google I/O, Google has announced Project Starline, an interesting project it has worked on for five years. I find Starlight an AMAZING project on the research side , and I think that all these technologies Google has developed for it may be re-used in other XR projects.
