This was what inspired me to create Graffiti 3D – a VR demo that I entered into the Leap Motion 3D Jam. Why virtual reality? Some recent rumors imply that they’ve added support for the 6DOF controllers included with the HTC Vive headset. Augmenting Reality with Graffiti 3D appeared first on Leap Motion Blog.

If the report were true, this would mean that Apple doesn’t believe in AR anymore and this would be terrible news for all the immersive realities ecosystem. Apple is clearly committed in augmented reality, and the recent release of ARKit 3 proves that. HTC has released some interesting statistics on the VR market.

Augmented reality (AR) is the future of Restaurant Menu? It now supports Oculus Quest, HTC Vive and UltraLeap (former Leap Motion) systems of skeletal hand tracking for interactions based on realistic, and customizable, hand poses. You can port your application in 2 clicks between several different XR platforms.

Markers can be used to define where to show virtual elements, and in the demo that I tried were used to show virtual Chinese artworks in a room; Leap Motion device on Realmax glasses. RealMax can mount a Leap Motion device, so you have the power of using naturally your hands to interact with AR elements. I liked it a lot.

This means that if you employ 4 for tracking, you can still use two for instance for eye-tracking and one for lips tracking; Be able to finally offer passthrough augmented reality with appropriate resolution and framerate. HTC won’t announce anything big at CES. It’s a very interesting story, that I suggest you all to read.

It seems cool, but I would like to try it to believe in it: all the times that someone promised me some kind of sensory magic, it never turned out so good as they told me (like with the phantom touch sensation that Leap Motion told me about ).

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. But it’s still incredible enough to give a taste of where it’s headed.

Because if Apple is just going to repeat the same use cases of the HTC Vive and Meta Quest 2, but selling it at $3000, it is just going to fail spectacularly. That’s why the headset should be available by the end of the year, and my bet is that Apple is trying to have it ready before the holidays. But the big question is the “how”.
