There’s a lot that can be said about the MagicLeap One. And although its OS and apps don’t fully utilize the tech available to them, MagicLeap One is an ambitious, well-made, but imperfect MR devkit that doesn’t quite live up to the hype, but is still the most complete and affordable mixed-reality (MR) computer out there.
It is intriguing that many companies are already experimenting with this new chipset, and one of these partners is Niantic, that is thinking about going the AR hardware route after all its hard work on gelocalized AR games like Pokemon Go.

Triton works with LeapMotion (now Ultra Leap) hands tracking. Originally I was going to make a standalone device which hooked everything up to a Nvidia Jetson Nano that could be worn on your belt (think MagicLeap One). You will have to buy the pieces separately and assemble it.
The new HoloLens features: Eye tracking Full hands tracking (a la LeapMotion) Voice commands understanding. As Alex of LeapMotion explained me, using carefully studied sounds and visual feedback when the user touches a virtual object, it is possible to create a sense of fake touch, that can make the experience more realistic.
In contrast to HoloLens 2 or MagicLeap One, PinMR doesn’t use waveguides, which the company says cuts down manufacturing complexity and cost. SEE ALSO Hands-on: HoloLens 2 is a More Than Just a Larger Field of View. This, I was told, was a result of 50 tiny pin mirrors used in each one their ‘E99g’ optics.
At WCVRI , I have tried some cool AR/VR hardware. Project North Star is an opensource reference design for a wide-FOV augmented reality headset that LeapMotion (now Ultraleap ) has given to the community. The hand tracking was fabulous as always thanks to LeapMotion and its Orion tracking. North Star AR headset.
It’s been called the AR Cloud by many, the Magicverse by MagicLeap, the Mirrorworld by Wired, the Cyberverse by Huawei, Planet-scale AR by Niantic and Spatial Computing by academics. ARtillery Intelligence predicts $14B of consumer AR revenues by 2021, with only around $2B of that from hardware sales. by Marko Balabanovic.
HP and Microsoft have a long track in offering enterprise hardware, so this headset may battle HTC on his own land (B2B). Rony Abovitz steps down from MagicLeap CEO. This was a very good thing and attracted many people to MagicLeap. I hope that MagicLeap will benefit from it and will recover pretty soon.
At LeapMotion, we envision a future where the physical and virtual worlds blend together into a single magical experience. While the classic LeapMotion Controller’s FOV is significantly beyond existing AR headsets such as Microsoft Hololens and MagicLeap One, it felt limiting on the North Star headset.
The first hardware generation attempting to solve the body feedback problem will likely use full bodysuits with haptic responses aligned to the VR experience. Startups will bring platforms to market that will let content creators add a scent layer to their work that a hardware peripheral will release at key moments.
MagicLeap. Me, wearing a MagicLeap One. The most important news has been for sure the launch of the MagicLeap One. Rear view of the MagicLeap One. LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here. ODG is launching a patent sale now in January.
Varag: Yes, so Clay's-- we're hardware agnostic. So we feel -- like you said -- this is software that really needs to be optimized for the hardware that it's working on. And then-- Varag: Especially because every maker has got to print hardware make-up, in a sense. So it'll work across all those types you just said. Varag: Yeah.

In this series of articles, I want to talk about my experience there , giving you some highlights about the hardware I tried, the companies I met, etc… I want to let you feel as if you did this VR travel with me. I think that it’s a great piece of hardware: the 3D effect is solid and the colors are very good.
You probably have heard about LeapMotion’s Project North Star , that should be able to offer people affordable augmented reality. Notice a LeapMotion sensor installed on top of it. Project North Star is an opensource augmented reality headset that LeapMotion has designed and gifted to the community.
Continuing speaking about HTC devices, the hardware manufacturer Finch has announced the FinchShift controllers: two 6 DOF controllers that can work with all the headsets that are compatible with HTC’s Vive Wave platform. It is an augmented reality glass that is being developed in China by a former MagicLeap engineer.
China-India & the other Asian Nations have some really interesting #augmentedreality #virtualreality #mixedreality #startups Innovating across Hardware, Software & Content. Most people know Xu due to his dispute with American virtual reality company MagicLeap. However, in June 2020, a U.S. 14- Kai Liang.
Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, LeapMotion and many others joined the ecosystem. The OSVR goggle – called the Hacker Development Kit – has seen several major hardware improvements. VR arcades, for instance, might use custom hardware or professional tracking systems. MagicLeap is not commercial yet.
I guess it will be the final price and the available titles that will define what hardware will win the race. MagicLeap reveals updates and new enterprise solutions. With various posts on its blog, AR startup MagicLeap has revealed a bunch of new updates. Another great UX post by LeapMotion.
Considering that Quest has sold at least 3M units now, this means more than $300M of losses from the hardware sales for Facebook.
