Hand-tracking looks likely to play a big part in that future, and Leap Motion is one of a few companies leading the charge in this department. Leap’s latest, well, leap is to bring its controller-free hand tracking tech to mobile VR headsets. Tagged with: hand tracking , leap motion , qualcomm , standalone.

Object tracking : Hyperion allows the Leap Motion Controller 2 camera to track AR Markers (also known as fiducial markers) enabling tracking of any object. Having haptic sensation on the palm is very important to increase the sense of presence when you are holding a tool in your hand.

At E3 2016 I got to see the latest prototype version of Gloveone, a haptic motion input glove designed for virtual reality. But that first version of the glove required a third-party tracking system like Leap Motion in order to translate the movement of the user’s hands into virtual reality.

Sony promises amazing haptic sensations on the controllers, that should be able to provide “impactful, textured, and nuanced” sensations. Facebook is also working with haptics, and it has presented two prototypes of the wristbands that could apply vibrations or pressure sensations on the wrist. It will so have inside-out tracking.

We don’t know if it is just a reference design for external partners (like HTC) or it is an actual headset that Valve is producing. Someone hypothesizes that Valve may produce the headset by itself because: HTC has started its own store, Viveport , and so it is not pushing Steam as an official store anymore. What can this mean?

Apart from the name change, I wonder if they will release soon a product that incorporates both hands tracking and contact-less haptic feedback in only one device. I would really love to have it!

What’s different about FlyInside though is both Rift and Vive users can use their respective motion controllers to manipulate levers, buttons, and requisite knobs. Leap Motion is also supported too, letting you manipulate controls in the cockpit with your own two hands.

Because if Apple is just going to repeat the same use cases of the HTC Vive and Meta Quest 2, but selling it at $3000, it is just going to fail spectacularly. That’s why the headset should be available by the end of the year, and my bet is that Apple is trying to have it ready before the holidays. But the big question is the “how”.

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. At first glance, the Manus Prime Haptic gloves look a bit unwieldy with cables running along the fingers and Vive Tracker on the back of each glove. Then it came to the haptics.

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal.

That application became Cat Explorer , which you can download now for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The essential type of in-air finger input is pinch gesture—it provides much-desired haptic feedback, can be reliably repeated by most of the users, and is clearly intentional, as in it doesn’t happen by accident.

It achieves this by using haptic feedback chairs – Buttkicker LFE haptics to be precise – all set in a tight arrangement without impeding gameplay. In conjunction with the chairs, the Entermission system uses HTC Vive Pro headsets as well as Leap Motion hand tracking to solve puzzles.

Dean: I’ve tried some haptics gloves. I mean, it sort of makes more sense to me that, as long as the prices for the headsets are lingering up pretty high — like the Cosmos from HTC, the brand new one, it’ll be an $800 purchase. It makes the Pro Eye more expensive than the other HTC offerings for sure.
