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.
In my unboxing video, you may see that I’ve found an additional LeapMotion v1 controller + LeapMotion mount for RealMax + USB-C cable for LeapMotion. Since having a 3DOF controller with a 6DOF headset is weird (HTC and Lenovo know this well), RealMax has decided to add also support for LeapMotion.
Ultraleap Stratos Explore is the product for which Ultrahaptics (which later became Ultraleap after the fusion with LeapMotion) was famous. Ultraleap Stratos presents itself as a square box with a lot of tiny cylinders on it and a LeapMotion controller to track the hands. Ultraleap Stratos Explore.
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.
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. This is another great publicity for virtualreality, whose awareness is spreading always more outside the tech scene.
The only headset that has such kind of strange thing on one side is the MagicLeap One , that uses it to track the controllers with magnetical fields… but we all know that Oculus actually uses optical tracking to track the controllers. attaching LeapMotion through an adapter).
I’m here to attend the WCVRI , a very big event about VirtualReality in China, where I am exhibiting HitMotion: Reloaded , the mixed reality fitness game of my agency New Technology Walkers ( contact us if you need some VR development!). LeapMotion) on the same headset. I liked it a lot.
Project North Star is an opensource reference design for a wide-FOV augmented reality headset that LeapMotion (now Ultraleap ) has given to the community. Keep in mind that MagicLeap One has a diagonal FOV of 50° and you realize why the word “only” is between quotes. 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. MagicLeap are the highest-profile, with both a device and a platform, and more recent entrants include Ubiquity6, AIReal and Placenote.
The company offers a range of modules, including the Stratos Inspire, and LeapMotion controller. Best-known in the gaming world, Valve helps developers and creators to design a host of unique and immersive experiences for their users in virtualreality. Unity and MagicLeap.
At LeapMotion, we envision a future where the physical and virtual worlds blend together into a single magical experience. At the heart of this experience is hand tracking, which unlocks interactions uniquely suited to virtual and augmented reality. Let’s build it together.
Most people know Xu due to his dispute with American virtualreality company MagicLeap. In June 2019, MagicLeap accused Xu of stealing AR glasses technology when he was an engineer working at the firm. Designer, Director and Researcher, #Keiichi is best known for his dystopian video “ Hyper-reality.”
Virtualreality (VR) is all about immersion in whatever experience you happen to be in. In reality that has taken longer than expected yet hand-tracking has now caught up with VR headsets. Hand tracking is one of those technologies that will become more ubiquitous whether it’s via gloves or systems like LeapMotion.
Image by MagicLeap). MagicLeap may be in trouble, but its CEO remains confident. Some weeks ago, I’ve reported of rumors about MagicLeap being in big trouble and having assigned all its patents as collateral to bank JP Morgan, probably because it is looking for a loan or to raise a round E.
Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, LeapMotion and many others joined the ecosystem. Increased Device Diversity leads to more Choices for Customers Trends An avalanche of new virtualreality devices arrived. We see goggles, motion trackers, haptics, eye trackers, motion chairs and body suits.
You’ve seen it from pre-DK1 days — where [it was] probably a cobbled-together a collection of flat screens, wires, and duct tape — and what it is today, where you have real consumer-grade virtualreality that’s not even connected to computers. I don’t know about MagicLeap yet.

Alan: With Facebook now working on AR, and you've got MagicLeap, and Microsoft's Hololens. And, you know, MagicLeap-- people are going to expect when they walk around holograms, they stay put. They stay rock solid, steady, attached to the real world, which is really gives you that kind of mixed reality experience.

According to the very famous market analysis company Gartner, Augmented Reality is no more an “emerging” technology, but it has graduated as a mature one. Header image by LeapMotion). The post Augmented reality is reaching a mature state according to Gartner appeared first on The Ghost Howls.
Thanks to BCI, we could have a virtualreality that goes beyond physical reality. After stepping down from the role of CEO of MagicLeap, Rony Abovitz has started a new venture called Sun And Thunder about digital beings. All of this is cool, but I think it’s also a smoke of hype. The startup is very… Abovitzian.
3D objects had washed out colors , a bit like when you see AR objects through HoloLens 1 and MagicLeap One … they appeared a bit semi-transparent. Even worse, it wasn’t able to track my finger movements well (it was worse than LeapMotion … and LeapMotion doesn’t have worn sensors!).
Back in 2016, designer and filmmaker Keiichi Matsuda released Hyper-Reality, a concept film that imagined an augmented reality future where physical and virtualrealities have merged, resulting in a "city saturated in media."
This represents the current status of the technology, that is evolving, but has still not reached the inflection point to become mainstream (as I have already told you in my 2019 predictions about augmented and virtualreality ). It is an augmented reality glass that is being developed in China by a former MagicLeap engineer.
Research is being done to evaluate the use of virtualreality also to treat chronic pain. I have heard many people making confusion between “MagicLeap” and “LeapMotion”, but no one doing the same with Nreal and Unreal. Researchers are working to treat chronic pain with VR.
MagicLeap reveals updates and new enterprise solutions. With various posts on its blog, AR startup MagicLeap has revealed a bunch of new updates. This package offers 4 MagicLeap 1 headsets + the subscription to Spatial pro, all for 45 days, for a rental price of $5000. News worth a mention.
