It starts with how you can install Unity and get started with hand tracking development and then proceeds with some suggestions about hands tracking UX. First, let’s start with installing Unity hand-tracking. How to Set Up Hand Tracking in Unity 3D. Let’s start there—let’s download Unity and set it up for hand-tracking.

It’s also a delicate balancing act – between our natural instincts about the physical world, and the unique capabilities of the hardware. In Unity, for instance, one approach is to set the camera’s near clip plane to be roughly 10 cm out. For example, the Oculus Rift DK2 recommends a minimum range of 75 cm. Further Reading.

Examples of such peripherals could be head trackers, hand and finger sensors (like Leap Motion and SoftKinetic), gesture control devices (such as the Myo armband and the Nod ring), cameras, eye trackers and many others. Provide optimized connectors to popular engines such as Unity and Unreal. Option two: use OSVR.

A quick note: VR/AR is a rapidly emerging ecosystem, and many of the engine tools and features that we use to build our Unity and Unreal assets are constantly shifting. With APIs for six programming languages and dozens of platform integrations, the Leap Motion SDK has everything you need to get started. Get started with Unity.

An example of the Windows Holographic user interface. If you want to take VR into another room, for example, you have to find places for the sensors again. Voice input is something Microsoft can do , but hand-tracking is a separate and enormously difficult problem despite companies like Leap Motion working hard at it.

They clearly stated that the HDK is designed for developers and semi-professionals who like to hack hardware and software. If words like open source, GitHub, GNU, firmware, C#, or Unity don’t mean you anything, then you better stay away from this headset and buy a Rift or Vive. Time to discuss the hardware.

It looked good on paper, but once I started working with it, I quickly realized that most of my time would be spent just trying to get the device to properly communicate with Unity and pair with the OS rather than having fun making stuff. So I switched to the Leap Motion Controller and quickly got my hands in my application.

We all grew tired of talking about how we wanted to explore VR development, so we allocated several weeks to tinkering with the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion — staffing one full-time developer and a few designers part-time. The goal was to build a cohesive VR interface that plays nicely with both hardware’s current limitations.

In another scenario, we may see game engines dominant, like Unity or Unreal. ARtillery Intelligence predicts $14B of consumer AR revenues by 2021, with only around $2B of that from hardware sales. In one scenario this may be some kind of AR browser, equivalent to today’s web browsers, like WebXR running on Chrome.

This week has been the week of the Oculus Connect 6 , the biggest yearly event by Oculus where the VR company announces all its most important news, both on hardware and software sides. It is much better than ALVR and other similar solutions (of course, because Oculus can operate at a deeper level on its hardware and runtime).
