VR and AR headsets are heading to market from Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others that have a wide range of capabilities. LeapMotion is one possible solution, with its hand and finger tracking technology offering one route for VR and AR headsets to let people make selections and interact with virtual worlds.
thanks to a better training). Traditionally, leading tech vendors have invested in distributed network infrastructure, but many of them (such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft) are adapting to a new paradigm to support localized, persistent, collaborative, shared, multiuser interactions.

For instance, in a mixed reality training session on a physical plane, the pilot should be able to see the physical switches of the plane exactly like in real life The headset has now a physical button to turn it off , so it doesn’t require anymore to be unplugged every time it is not in use.
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. What was inferior to Microsoft’s headset was, of course, the tracking.
It seems cool, but I would like to try it to believe in it: all the times that someone promised me some kind of sensory magic, it never turned out so good as they told me (like with the phantom touch sensation that LeapMotion told me about ). Image by Microsoft). News worth a mention.
AR is being applied in training and education, healthcare, heads-up wayfinding and navigation, tourism, retail, field service, real estate sales, design and architecture. Some recent acquisitions include AltspaceVR (Microsoft), and Escher (Niantic). Its wizarding successor grossed $12M in its first month.
Innovators in the world of Mixed Reality, Microsoft relies heavily on concepts like hand and eye tracking to help users combine the physical and digital worlds. The Microsoft HoloLens technology available today comes with state-of-the-art eye-tracking, and hand tracking capabilities to ensure users can easily interact with digital content.
Above: David Holz, founder of LeapMotion, shows off hand-tracking in VR. The headset used sensors to detect my fingers, using software from LeapMotion. The Department of Defense spends up to $7 billion a year on training, and if you can train people better in VR, that saves money. R&D still to come.
According to the company, over 25% of Fortune 100 companies already use its headsets to train pilots and astronauts, create 3D visualizations, and power medical breakthroughs. The solution also has optimized camera resolution for pilot training and other demanding use cases. Varjo is explicitly targeting the enterprise landscape.
Get the project on the LeapMotion Developer Gallery ! Fortunately, LeapMotion provides this information, which makes writing the code a lot easier. We’re extremely excited about LeapMotion and VR, and their potential impact on how people teach and learn around the globe. Interaction Design.
They found medical companies that were more interested in how precise those hand controllers could be, so they started doing demos, like a virtual catheter insertion and other kinds of medical training demos. ”H-A-P-T-X, the ones that have air– Dean: I’ve trained theirs, but I haven’t tried that particular demo.

Dean: I've trained theirs, but I haven't tried that particular demo. So it's actual feedback that's necessary for this training.

UltraLeap (formerly known as LeapMotion) has just launched the 5th iteration of its hands-tracking runtime, called Gemini. This new runtime improves a lot the accuracy of hand tracking on Windows PCs, even with the old LeapMotion Controller. Microsoft announces HoloLens Industrial Edition.
As for actions such as pulling up menus or teleporting around virtual environments, it’s possible that hand gestures such as the ones used with the Microsoft HoloLens or LeapMotion could resolve this. Like anything else, it’s a feature you will need to get used too. ” Image Credit: Facebook.
Billion & mind you i haven't added the overall population of #asia.Ignore us at your own risk #facebook #microsoft & the curators of those lists. He has demonstrated even more original (and less scary) ideas for AR interaction while directing UX design at LeapMotion. 25- Pankaj Raut. 29- Clyde Dsouza.
Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, LeapMotion and many others joined the ecosystem. Maybe you are on a train and can’t do so. Magic Leap is not commercial yet. Microsoft Hololens kits are shipping to developers, but are not priced for consumers yet. It turns out that others share this vision.
