There’s an intuitive appeal to using controller-free hand-tracking input like LeapMotion’s ; there’s nothing quite like seeing your virtual hands and fingers move just like your own hands and fingers without the need to pick up and learn how to use a controller. Image courtesy LeapMotion.
I have appreciated it a lot, so I thought it could have been a cool idea to make a post for you to describe how it is and compare it with the previous LeapMotion controller. Some weeks ago, I have reviewed the new LeapMotion Gemini (v5) runtime , and I have appreciated its robustness. Are you in?
Sound is essential for truly immersive VR. For this reason, sound is more than just an immersive tool – how (and where) objects around you sound has an enormous effect on your understanding of where they are, especially when you’re not looking at them. Presence and Realism in 3D Space. But it’s not perfect. Sound Design in Blocks.
Combining three discrete technologies, researchers at UC San Diego have created a glove that simulates real-life force in virtualworlds. Researchers at University of California-San Diego have designed a new lightweight glove that can replicate the feeling of touch, using it to play piano.
So by that measure, Pimax over-delivered at CES 2019 with its LeapMotion bundle featuring 8K VR headset with built-in speakers, 200° FOV and optional eye tracking being developed in partnership with 7invensun. Pimax holds the Guinness World Record for the most successful crowdfunded VR project with over $4m in funding.
The larger field of view will make the virtualworld feel much more encompassing and immersive. LeapMotion North Star. Image courtesy LeapMotion. The world of AR is poised and waiting for its breakout headset. Oculus Santa Cruz. image courtesy Oculus.
When I tried the latest installation of The VOID earlier this year in Utah I encountered what I think is likely the pinnacle of immersion possible in 2017, with one major limit. Even the gun you hold becomes part of the immersive experience as it transforms in VR into part of your proton pack for catching ghosts.
Object tracking : Hyperion allows the LeapMotion Controller 2 camera to track AR Markers (also known as fiducial markers) enabling tracking of any object. Go to SideQuest Sponsored Area Do you need a virtualworld? For example, while holding a physical prop, such as a welding torch, the hand tracking remains robust.
The fact that all immersive technologies have been flagged as mature by it means that many more companies will believe in their potential and will want to implement them. The road in front of AR and VR is still very long and many years are needed to make immersive realities mainstream like cell phones. Header image by LeapMotion).
It’s a finely tuned process designed to give you the sensation you’re actually lifting and touching objects, just like you would in the real world. In theory, the gloves could paired with other technologies like a LeapMotion sensor to simulate a wide range of activities.
Last post about my experience at Sandbox Immersive Festival! (If Today I will talk to you about other 4 experiences : Mandala, that has been one of my favorite installations; Andy’s World, that let me finally try redirected walking in VR; The Tide and The Emergence that were quite innovative. And that’s it!
After I moved, I could see the virtualworld moving with a noticeable lag (the same lag that you may have using VR over Wi-fi streaming). A guy and a girl from Prague showcased in Stereopsia a simple demo where you could play the piano with a Vive with a LeapMotion mounted on. Anyway, that was bearable. VR Pianist.
Today, we are taking the spatial computing industry to yet another level as we announce the availability of the full 6DoF developer kit for the Vive Wave open ecosystem, and a host of new 6DoF content and technologies to more easily bring users into fully immersivevirtualworlds.
The Matrix Pro will also feature a front camera that will let people alternate between vision of the real and virtualworld. We all work towards making XR experiences that are always more immersive and advanced, but few of us work towards improving the ethical aspect of what we are going to build. The weight is only 150g.
There are also the underlying depth mapping systems such as Intel RealSense, Microsoft Kinect, LeapMotion, Occipital, Apple TrueDepth (with related acquisitions like PrimeSense and LinX), Nimble VR (acquired by Facebook), and Apple’s predicted move into ultra-wideband spatial sensing with the U1 chip announced as part of the iPhone 11 launch.
The addition of VR to that arsenal has been extremely eye-opening, as the ability to build virtual instruments and experiences that leverage depth and space – literally allowing musicians to move inside a virtual instrument and interact with it while retaining a sense of place – plays off of musicians learned abilities to coax sound out of objects.
Get the project on the LeapMotion Developer Gallery ! You can reach out into the virtualworld and grab objects with your hands. Fortunately, LeapMotion provides this information, which makes writing the code a lot easier. We want to improve education around the world, and we know we can’t do it alone.
In the context of motion controls, good affordance is critical, since it is necessary that users interact with objects in the expected manner. With 2D LeapMotion applications, this means adapting traditional UX design principles that condensed around the mouse and keyboard. Sound is an essential aspect of truly immersive VR.
It seems Oculus plan to launch a higher-end mobile virtual reality headset for the masses. A step up from an Oculus Go for those that want more power, much better tracking for immersive games and experiences. Oculus Rift ($599.99). Sony PlayStation VR ($399.99).
LeapMotion. You may ask why I’m adding LeapMotion here. Well, during 2018, LeapMotion has announced the North Star reference design : a cheap augmented reality connected to PC, that is able to detect your hands very well thanks to LeapMotion’s sensor.
Alan: So I keep coming back to training, but let’s really kind of take a second to unpack the native hand-tracking and finger-tracking; if you’re able to reach out, see your hands, and interact with things in virtual spaces, this is going to literally unlock unlimited potential for training.

We will spend our days effortlessly slipping between realities, connecting with others who may be physically or virtually present, dialling up and down our level of immersion. Click To Tweet The current generation of VR is great for transporting you to far-off lands, trading up your physical environment for separate virtualworlds.
VeeR acquires, produces, and distributes best-in-class immersive stories and light-weight interactive experiences. Eddie is also the founder and director of Sandbox Immersive Festival, China’s first VR/immersive media festival which the well acclaimed first edition was held in June in the city of Qingdao. web, and mobile.
The front features a glossy plastic lid , that can be removed to uncover the so-called “frunk”, a hole with a USB-3 port , that can be used to attach accessories like LeapMotion to the Index. You can really notice that the virtualworld is different, you see everything more fluid. Field of View.
He has set a shooting game in his apartment, and in it he can also use his real table as a prop in the game , moving it in the real and virtualworld together. Another great UX post by LeapMotion. Discover XR Immersive Enterprise. Amazing demo, have a look at it! News from partners (and friends). Some XR fun.
