Early last month, Leap Motion kicked off our internal hackathon with a round of pitch sessions. Since we’ve heard from a lot of VR developers interested in the project, I thought I’d do a deep dive here on the blog. Leap Motion. Our team of five ran with this concept to create AR Screen.

In support of the event, our team donated Leap Motion Controllers. Our CTO David Holz and engineer/ AR tennis champion Jonathon Selstad joined the workshop, along with former Leap Motion engineer Adam Munich. He had experience building homebrew data gloves and mocap systems for years before discovering 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.

You all know that I love Brain-Computer Interfaces, and so I have been very happy when NextMind has proposed to give me a sample of its brain-reading sensor to review here on my blog. BCIs are still in the early stages, and even if they are evolving at a good pace, the technology for “brain control” is still not here.

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”.

But what sparks the biggest debates are the controllers , with the thumbsticks that are not perfect and don’t click in all directions. Everyone agrees that they are great controllers, but not everyone agrees on the fact that they are truly revolutionary. Companies are studying foveated rendering for AR glasses. Very interesting.

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. Of course, he’s not going to abandon ads, so Meta will still also be about data collection.

In rebuilding our Unity developer toolset from the ground up , we started by rearchitecting the interfaces that receive data from the Leap Motion device. Moving up the tech stack, we then refactored most of the mid-level Unity scripts that pair the Leap hand data with 3D models and manages those representations.

VR is intuitive and compelling because it matches our physical movement to the virtual world; asking users to learn an additional set of controls just to be able to move around around could be confusing and alienating to many. These kinds of environments give the developer a lot of control, but they can also feel isolated and self-contained.
