Road To VR reported about Manus VR’s new Quantum Metagloves with very precise handtracking for enterprise use (cost: $9000). MagicLeap 2 bridges AR and VR. The interest in MagicLeap 2 is growing. Japanese startup H2L is working on a haptic bracelet. News worth a mention. Upload VR).
MagicLeap One ), your brain kind of accept that you see augmentations only through the lens of the glasses and not in the peripheral vision, and so the limited FOV becomes more acceptable. The Achille’s heel of positional tracking is the light: if the room is completely dark, it doesn’t work anymore. HandsTracking.
It is also the most interesting because it introduces features like eye tracking, handtracking, and especially a 2280×2280 per-eye resolution display that makes it compelling for professional use. Most of the other gloves can only work with applications using hand-tracking or applications that are built ad hoc for gloves.
Still, many of the existing games on other VR platforms need to be tailored to work with the headset’s eye and hand-tracking only approach to input, which leads me to my next point… Motion Controllers What : Some games simply don’t work without motion controllers—at least not in the way they were initially designed to.
One of the biggest names in the VR data glove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. In reality that has taken longer than expected yet hand-tracking has now caught up with VR headsets. Then it came to the haptics. Well, sort of.
Especially the DualSense is an amazing piece of tech, with very stable IMUs and haptic sensations that increase a lot the “immersion” in the games : they can provide you the sensation of resistance, of textures of materials, of movements. Then why MagicLeap hasn’t delivered a solid product with 2B?)

The Varjo headset includes Ultraleap hand-tracking to monitor natural hand movements and true-to-life MR passthrough with 12-megapixel video.
Vive Flow is a 6DOF headset that works with your Android phone as a 3DOF controller (handstracking is coming in the future). Image by MagicLeap). MagicLeap 2 has been teased. The headset looks like an improved MagicLeap 1, lighted, slimmer and more elegant, and with a single cable on the back.
Varag: So Clay is a software company, we're specializing in handtracking and gesture recognition, mostly in the AR and VR space. We did a project just using Google's handtracking library. And handtracking needs to be there. But let's get back to handtracking, because this is a vital part.

We see goggles, motion trackers, haptics, eye trackers, motion chairs and body suits. The same is also true for input and output peripherals such as eye trackers and haptic devices. A goggle is better with an eye tracker, a hand controller and a haptic device. Eye tracking software converts eye images into gaze direction.
More info (Sony’s MicroOLED displays) More info (ZEISS Prescription inserts) More info (Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters) MagicLeap 1 to be discontinued soon MagicLeap 1, the device of the hype and the fall of MagicLeap, is going to be discontinued soon. It’s the end of an era.
Dean: I’ve tried some haptics gloves. And then even MagicLeap, I’ve heard rumors that they’re going to be introducing an enterprise division, or an enterprise something. I don’t know about MagicLeap yet. Handtracking is a kind of universal input system. Alan: “HaptX.”H-A-P-T-X,

First of all, he got some CAD files about it, and from those, it is possible to see that the device includes two front tracking cameras, one RGB camera to colorize the passthrough of the tracking cameras and a depth sensor that may help with scene understanding and handstracking. News worth a mention.
Dean: I've tried some haptics gloves. And then even MagicLeap, I've heard rumors that they're going to be introducing an enterprise division, or an enterprise something. I don't know about MagicLeap yet. Handtracking is a kind of universal input system. And that was with controllers. Alan: "HaptX."H-A-P-T-X,

Why is it so disruptive?
It is standalone (as HoloLens and MagicLeap ) and has cameras through which it sees the environment. 4k x 4k per eye displays (eye tracking useful for this). 140 degree FOV (eye tracking useful). varifocal with Deep Focus (eye tracking needed). good hand/finger tracking. useful haptichands.
thanks to a better tracking algorithm that allows for less power consumption on the IR LEDs of the controllers (thanks TESTED for having pointed this out). The haptic feedback of these controllers has been improved , and they can provide much stronger vibrations than the one of the original Quest. Privacy in AR.
I would say the glasses have probably more things in common with HoloLens 2 than MagicLeap 2 because of the constrained FOV and the visual artifacts. The only thing I can say is that I had no noticeable drift when moving or rotating my head, so the tracking seems quite good. The main menu shows a list of lenses (i.e.
