As mainstream VR/AR input continues to evolve – from the early days of gaze-only input to wand-style controllers and fully articulated hand tracking – so too are the virtual user interfaces we interact with. With our Interaction Engine Unity package, prototyping these kinds of physically inspired interfaces is easier than ever.

One month ago, I’ve participated in the Stereopsia event in Bruxelles (Belgium) to perform a talk about how to organize an event in virtual reality. Like every event, it has pros and cons. 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.
