Recently I had a big issue with my VR controllers in SteamVR (both with Oculus and Vive) and so I’m writing this post to try to help you in solving it. And when I put the headset on, I could see the grey intro environment, with all the controllers moving regularly. , but sometimes it is still tricky and problematic. WTF SteamVR.

Leap Motion. You may ask why I’m adding Leap Motion here. Well, during 2018, Leap Motion 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 Leap Motion’s sensor. Apple glasses.

The sentence with which they have started the tease is “Big things are in motion here at Ultraleap”, which makes me think about something big that moves… may it be a new device to perform body tracking? According to a guy on Twitter that answered my post, Ultraleap should launch a new tracking controller this year.

Apple has killed its AR glasses project… maybe. A piece of unexpected news has shaken the XR communities this week: according to a report on Digitimes Taiwan, Apple has abandoned its AR/VR glasses project and all the members of the team have been re-allocated in other teams. AR is still alive, Apple will still release its AR glasses.

On the last day, I tried many interesting technologies, but I selected two for this summary, which are the first two that I’ve tried: the new Leap Motion Controller by Ultraleap and the AR technology by LetinAR. You can see how it is in this picture, where I’ve put my hand for scale. The amazing Ben Lang.

In a snippet from an upcoming interview we'll publish soon, we asked whether Kluge's future plans include supporting Apple Vision Pro. Since Vision Pro doesn't support traditional controllers, we then questioned future hand tracking support for Synth Riders. Perez expressed interest, saying, "we'd like to, but we'll see.

Meta is rolling out update v37 for Oculus Quest and Quest 2 bringing quality-of-life improvements like interface tweaks and tracking support for the Apple Magic Keyboard. The feature definitely reminds of us some excellent hand-tracking interaction concepts shared with us by Leap Motion (now Ultraleap) back in 2018.

In Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash of 1992, the internet has been superseded by the Metaverse, a multi-person shared virtual reality with both human-controlled avatars and system “daemons”. An Apple AR headset has been a mainstay of the rumor mills for several years, and we expect Facebook to be creating an AR Oculus device.

The documentation was the same as before, if not for the fact that in the page about headset Input page, there was also a reference to “Oculus Jedi” controllers. Even the modified one with the header file talking about controllers just leaks the constant of their name. Something like the Valve Index controllers.

At this point, there is another question that every one of us is making: is this a controlled leak by Valve itself? I’m not saying that it is absolutely a controlled leak… I just want to say that personally, I believe that it is. If it is a SteamVR 2 device, it can for sure work with all the SteamVR controllers.

The whole event was all about Facebook creating a parent company called Meta that is going to control all the products that until now were in the Facebook’s family, that is Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Oculus, Portal, and all the rest. Ultraleap (formerly Leap Motion) has just released the fifth version of its hands-tracking engine.

It seems that Mark is still working on that vision, so that in the end, Facebook will be able to do on its devices whatever it wants, without compromises and without control. A company of this kind, with full control and no restrictions, could do great things on the tech side, but very bad things on the privacy side.

That’s basically what VR devs do today… and of course, they all do it slightly differently, leading to 3 or 4 different ways of activating a teleport on Quest apps using controllers. Sometimes I just want Apple to get their headset out, with one-right-way to do things, and save us all from bad VR UX once and for all.

I think there were people early on, like the folks at Sixth Sense who have the hand controllers. They were talking about there are a wide variety of things you can do with these hand controllers for VR. And that was with controllers. Do you think Apple is going to come out with their glasses in the next five years?
