This USB-C input can also be used to connect a variety of compatible controllers, including the LeapMotion tracker, Intel’s Realsense, even a Nintendo Joy-Con. Image Credit: VRScout. Users can upload multiple file formats, including OBJ, gITF, GLB, and STL.
In another scenario, we may see game engines dominant, like Unity or Unreal. At the moment there is just the start of public discourse, such as the “mirrorworld bill of rights”, the recent XR Privacy Summit, or this AR Privacy and Security explainer from W3C working groups. And finally, we’ll have Patterns and conventions.
In order for students to think about how to create pieces of music and pieces of software, we enable groups to get together and make music as an ensemble. Using technology like the LeapMotion Controller allows us to use our hands to directly engage virtual instruments, from the plucking of a virtual string to the casting of a sonic fireball.
In contrast, there is a much greater variety of VR devices: HMDs, motion and position trackers, hand and finger sensors, eye trackers, body suits, locomotion devices, force feedback devices, augmented reality cameras and more.

I would love to see working groups formed to address areas of common interest. We wanted to provide an open alternative to walled-garden, single-device approaches.
Then there are the problems that are inherent to all hands-tracking solutions like LeapMotion : no haptic feedback, virtual hands that trespass objects they are interacting with, and such. And you will be able to post into Facebook Groups from within VR. It’s development at PC speed, for a mobile device.
