These days I’m carrying on some experiments with XR and other technologies. Laser Dance is a pretty cool concept, IMHO We could unlock a new type of creativity and enthusiasm in our space, and make the whole technology evolve faster. And recently Leap Motion has become compatible with standalone headsets like Pico ones.

Circuit Stream , the company he works for, offers a full platform of AR/VR training and learning services to help people master immersive technology. Due to the extra calculations happening in hand-tracking, it has higher latency compared to controllers. Precision and latency are the main factors in VR/AR hand-tracking user experience.

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 ! Then he described virtual reality advancements, highlighting the dominant role of China and HTC in this technology.

BCIs are still in the early stages, and even if they are evolving at a good pace, the technology for “brain control” is still not here. But… there is also a drawback, that is the latency. NextMind is more if you want to experiment with the technologies of the future. Hands-on with the demos. Final verdict.

Gloveone , created by NeuroDigital Technologies , successfully funded just over $150,000 on Kickstarter in July 2015 for the first version of their haptic VR glove which uses tiny vibrators placed at the ends of your fingers to create the sensation of touching virtual objects. The latency of the input was also quite impressive.

The technology that they are using for force-feedback is servo motors. Whatever tracking technology you choose, you have to make sure that the system is well calibrated : in some demos, I had the real and virtual position of the hands having a little mismatch and so the force feedback was not coherent with what I was seeing in VR.

When game engines are used for VR, they have to include many new capabilities: stereo rendering, higher frame rate, distortion correction, latency control and more. But one topic that is often overlooked is that VR game engine also have to deal with a wide variety of VR peripherals, each with their own API. The result?

There is a bit of latency (80ms) and it can be perceived. And it is not clear if its technology will end on a PC VR headset or on a mobile one.
