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.

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.

They are dubbed “Meta Touch Plus”, and they work (as I predicted last week) by fusing the data of IMU, IR LED tracking, and hand tracking together. Plus thanks to the features of the Presence Platform and the depth sensor, the headset is going to be able to “transform” the room you are in in a quite convincing way.

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. This is a very interesting result.
