VR and AR headsets are heading to market from Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others that have a wide range of capabilities. Just last week we learned about Facebook’s plan for a $200 headset that occupies the low end of the market while Google continues work on a six degrees of freedom standalone headset.
The approach chosen by Meta is similar to the one that Google promised to take with Android XR. 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.
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. Go to SideQuest Sponsored Area Do you need a virtualworld? What a time to be alive!
Earlier this year HTC became an official partner with Google in producing a Daydream-based standalone VR headset under the Vive brand. It looks like it will access HTC’s storefront, called Viveport, to get to virtualworlds rather than Google Play. Where Are My Hands?
I have also noticed that actually there is still something AR-related in the hype cycle, and it is the AR cloud , the system to create a complete worldwide mapping between the real and the virtualworld. Header image by LeapMotion). Considering that companies like 6d.ai
Project Alloy stands alone among the current lineup of technologies available because it isn’t tethered to a desktop computer like HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, nor does it use a smartphone like Google Cardboard, Gear VR or Google Daydream. Later a prerecorded video showed a woman in a small virtualworld complete with a pet dog.

After I moved, I could see the virtualworld moving with a noticeable lag (the same lag that you may have using VR over Wi-fi streaming). A guy and a girl from Prague showcased in Stereopsia a simple demo where you could play the piano with a Vive with a LeapMotion mounted on. Anyway, that was bearable. VR Pianist.
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. When we bring our hands into a virtual space, we also bring a lifetime’s worth of physical biases with us. From Flat Screens to VR Interfaces. In a sense, they are.
What virtual avatars, creatures, information layers or interactive components are here. 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. What room are you in, what objects or other people are around you.
Today, we are taking the spatial computing industry to yet another level as we announce the availability of the full 6DoF developer kit for the Vive Wave open ecosystem, and a host of new 6DoF content and technologies to more easily bring users into fully immersive virtualworlds.
Experimental headsets are changing how we see the world, either by creating the virtualworlds of our imaginations, like the Oculus Rift, or adding ghostly layers on top of the real world, like Google Glass. We found the LeapMotion Controller and started taping it together with our raw prototype.
But with the lines between the real and virtualworlds now blurrier than ever, could we cut it even further? CAD & OBJ Viewer allows you to take a design directly from CAD into a virtualworld where you can manipulate and verify the design without wasting precious time on rapid prototyping until you are ready.”
While we love to chart new territory, the monthly SFHTML5 meetup at Google SF holds a special place in our hearts. Last January, LeapMotion Experience Engineer Isaac Cohen delivered a lively code sermon for an audience of over 500 HTML5 enthusiasts about how to create rich 3D universes for your browser – your “happy place” – in WebGL.
Google Cardboard ($15) . Just like its official slogan claimed, “Experience virtual reality in a simple, fun, and affordable way.” 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.
LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here. Well, during 2018, LeapMotion has announced the North Star reference design : a cheap augmented reality connected to PC, that is able to detect your hands very well thanks to LeapMotion’s sensor. Google Maps in AR).
Today we're speaking with Varag Gharibjanian, the chief revenue officer at Clay AIR, a software company shaping the future of how we interact with the digital world, using natural gesture recognition. We're going to find out how Clay will bring our real hands into the virtualworld. Varag, welcome to the show, my friend.

You probably have heard about LeapMotion’s Project North Star , that should be able to offer people affordable augmented reality. There are some typical questions that arise in the mind of the AR enthusiasts of the world: how is it? Notice a LeapMotion sensor installed on top of it. Is it good?
The company was later acquired by Google in 2010. He has experience creating VR/AR content and is an adviser/mentor for many VR and AR companies, incubators and accelerators around the world. Prior to Presence Capital, he was the founder and CTO of MyMiniLife (acquired by Zynga) and the founder and CEO of Toro (acquired by Google).
I’ve used Google search to find all the pages with references to Del Mar in the Oculus website, and all the docs are identical to the previous versions. Google will delay the release of Chrome 81 , the one that should have included WebAR. Yes, Android, Google. Another great UX post by LeapMotion.
