In the process of building applications and various UX experiments at Leap Motion, we’ve come up with a useful set of heuristics to help us critically evaluate our gesture and interaction designs. The team at Leap Motion is constantly working to improve the accuracy and consistency of our tracking technology.

One great advantage in doing marketing as a team, as a collective instead of alone , is that we can pull together our learnings, our data, our previous experiments. Playing around with the Leap Motion interaction system. But the idea of an open bundle is fun, and maybe we could find a way to make it work next time.

One of the biggest names in the VR data glove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. Hand tracking is one of those technologies that will become more ubiquitous whether it’s via gloves or systems like Leap Motion.

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. We got things started by downloading the most popular Oculus Rift / Leap Motion demos and giving them a try.

Neuralink technology has evolved, and now it only consists of a tiny device that is more or less big like a coin that you install in your skull and lets the system read the data from many of your neurons. The device can connect via Bluetooth to a phone, where the data of the brain can be analyzed.

Another week has just passed by and it was a cool one with many news and articles to talk about! When I tried the Looxid Labs add-on for the Vive I’ve found it interesting, but its data were pretty noisy, and some community members defined it as “another random numbers generator”. Haaaappy February, amazing XR community!

Physical space allows users to spatially arrange objects in order to make sense of data and its meaning, thereby revealing relationships and making connections. As participants add data to the wall, sticky notes appear in thematic groupings spatially across the board. Up close, we can see the individual interrelated data points.

But now, in this article, it is time to go deeper. Then there are the problems that are inherent to all hands-tracking solutions like Leap Motion : no haptic feedback, virtual hands that trespass objects they are interacting with, and such. We are also improving RenderDoc to report more performance data.

Alvin: So actually, before going into that, I want to add one more point to the last study on the concentration level, because one piece of data that’s not actually in the slide I published was that there was a distinctive difference, actually, in the concentration improvements for male versus female. Can you speak to that?

He explained to me that they put extra emphasis on the thumb because their physics engine rely on accurate position of thumb to generate realistic force, while most data glove doesn’t have feedback, so accurate representation is less relevant. All the movements of the thumb are tracked thanks to a special joint. Dexmo haptic feedback.

The technology behind it is pretty cool: you have some cameras (I guess RGB + depth) that scan yourself live in 3D , compress the data with a special Google algorithm, send it to the other peer, where it gets decompressed and reconstructed in real-time on a light field display. It feels like magic.
