. — There were some high-profile flameouts in 2019, including Meta, ODG and Daqri, while others exited below previous funding totals (a veritable down-round), including Leap Motion. Either way, the question this all raises is where is AR in its lifecycle as we enter 2020? 1 — Magic Leap ($280 Million & counting).

Ultraleap’s hand tracking technology has found its way into enterprise virtual reality (VR) headsets like VRgineers’ XTAL or the Varjo VR-2 Pro but for consumers, it was a case of tacking on the Leap Motion controller. But thanks to a new collaboration with Pimax that could soon be a thing of the past. With the $169.95

The price is undisclosed (we only know that it is below $950) and the full announcements should happen at CES 2020. These specifications are less aggressive than the ones of the Pimax 8K and similar headset, and this makes us think that probably it is the new low-tier offering by the Chinese startup.

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 Leap Motion could resolve this. Hand tracking arrives as an experimental feature on the Oculus Quest in early 2020. But we’re getting there.

Hand tracking has always been one of those options that sound nice in principle, but would you actually pay for it, adding a Leap Motion device or something a little more extravagant like a data glove?
