HTC and Valve do this with their Vive controllers that are super low latency and extremely accurate and Oculus does this with their touch controllers and their extremely natural ergonomics. The real improvements are increased performance, power savings and support for LeapMotion.
Today it’s a great day for virtual reality: at WCVRI conference, HTC has just announced a kit to provide 6 DOF controllers for Vive Focus and has showcased a hands-tracking technology for the Vive Pro ! The Venture Reality Fund and of course HTC. — Alvin Wang Graylin (@AGraylin) October 18, 2018. Really fantastic.
Object tracking : Hyperion allows the LeapMotion Controller 2 camera to track AR Markers (also known as fiducial markers) enabling tracking of any object. Robust to handling objects: Hyperion offers superior hand tracking while holding an object in your hand, making it perfect for mixed reality.
What if you want to experiment with AI and MR and you don’t want to wait for Meta/Pico/HTC to provide access to the camera feed? If you use a LeapMotion controller, you should be able to grab the feed of its cameras according to its docs.
HTC – Vive. LeapMotion – LeapMotion. Zero Latency. Zero Latency – Zero Latency. Nominees for VR Headset of the Year. Oculus – Rift. Razer – OSVR. Sony – Playstation VR. Starbreeze – StarVR. Nominees for Mobile Headset of the Year. Homido – V2.
Yesterday we learned that Google is teaming up with Qualcomm to produce a new line of standalone VR headsets, made in partnership with companies like HTC and Lenovo. There the company stated that its new processor was designed specifically for VR, boosting areas like visual fidelity and audio while combating other areas like latency.
I had a chance to catch up with the lead designer of Manus VR , Stijn Stumpel , at GDC where we compared Manus VR to LeapMotion, talked about how the flex sensors work, the use cases where having tracked hands makes sense, their extremely polished demo called Pillow’s Willow, and where they’re going in the future.
But that first version of the glove required a third-party tracking system like LeapMotion in order to translate the movement of the user’s hands into virtual reality. The latency of the input was also quite impressive.
This system makes the headset dependent on static hardware, however, and so top engineers at Oculus , HTC and Google are all racing to crack the inside-out code first. Addressing the latency issue is Stereo Labs main goal as they move from the prototype and begin to release dev kits. Additional reporting by Az Balabanian. .
63 for the LeapMotion Controller and VR Developer Mount , now on sale in our web store. This transforms your phone into a VR headset screen, simulating devices like the HTC Vive. Additional latency. You will “feel” the latency in ways that you wouldn’t on a full setup. Install the LeapMotion Orion software.
There are several companies tackling this issue from several directions, Zero Latency , for example, provides large warehouse-scale spaces to run around in, while Virtuix compacts the experience via its omnidirectional treadmills and VR Arena. Called Mission Modules, 6 are designed to work in one area.
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.
Since the OSVR launch in January this year, nearly 250 organizations including Intel, NVIDIA, Xilinx, Ubisoft, LeapMotion, and many others have joined the OSVR ecosystem. Concurrent with the expansion of the OSVR community, the capabilities of the software platform have grown by leaps and bounds.
Price ranges from $60 to $100, which is rather affordable, compared with Oculus Rift or HTC Vive. IDEALENS plans to partner with the leading human-computer interaction technology company LeapMotion to embed its next generation hand tracking technology in IDEALENS K3-E headset. HTC Vive ($499).
According to Ars Technica , the frames don’t get sent as a whole, but in little horizonal slices there are continuously streamed, so that to reduce a lot the perceived latency. There is a bit of latency (80ms) and it can be perceived. A frame of the presentation where Oculus explained the compression method of the Oculus Link.
