strLast time, we looked at how an interactive VR sculpture could be created with the Leap Motion Graphic Renderer as part of an experiment in interaction design. With the sculpture’s shapes rendering, we can now craft and code the layout and control of this 3D shape pool and the reactive behaviors of the individual objects.

The sentence with which they have started the tease is “Big things are in motion here at Ultraleap”, which makes me think about something big that moves… may it be a new device to perform body tracking? According to a guy on Twitter that answered my post, Ultraleap should launch a new tracking controller this year. I’m speechless.

The con is that it is a rather small event. The pro is that it is a great event for networking. How is Stereopsia?

VRTK, as other existing VR interaction toolkits, is built around logic input from controllers. Developers will have to build or find an extra module to make the bridge between the analogic hand tracking, and the logic controller input. This allows Interhaptics to include a more advanced event system due to logic-based interactions.
