The Leap Motion Controller 2 is the ideal hardware for experiencing Ultraleap’s world-class hand tracking. Key improvements over the original Leap Motion Controller include higher resolution cameras, an increased field of view, and 25% lower power consumption, all in a 30% smaller package for optimum placement and convenience.

Also, Leap Motion tracking or the mixed reality cameras of Varjo XR-3 are not part of this model. T he only thing that actually never convinced me about Varjo devices are the lenses: both VR-2 and XR-3 have visible lens distortions , and we still don’t know if they are present also in this new headset.

I also noticed something like two little white circles always present in the leftmost and rightmost edge of the image , probably due to some component next to the lenses (maybe for eye tracking?). It was quite noticeable and disturbed my experience in that scene. This effect was less evident in the subsequent application, though.

The glasses, codenamed Orion, should be made to replace smartphones and are slated for a release date of 2023–2025, that seems very reasonable, considering that no present tech is able to create truly consumer AR. It is notable to see that all these headsets present different aspect ratios for their visuals.

Also, hand-tracking allows you to create interactions that feel more present. The image above is a Leap Motion hand-tracking demo. Leap Motion delivers this quality hand-tracking because of its camera positions —it has a dual-front-camera setup so that it can track the hands quite well. Tracking Volume: Proximity.

First of all, the new Knuckles can track all the fingers in a great way : thanks to the sensors present on all the device, the runtime is able to detect the pose of all the fingers in an accurate way. This is possible thanks to capacitive sensors present on all the controller. The last point is the one that made my jaw drop.

Hand-tracking is also here, but it can feel pretty limited if you’ve played with other superior forms of tracking like the Leap Motion.
