Some weeks ago, a group of 12 indie development studios decided to launch the first bundle dedicated to App Lab experiences for Oculus Quest. Then the group came together, and one of us quickly edited a draft trailer. Playing around with the Leap Motion interaction system. What are your future plans?

In order for students to think about how to create pieces of music and pieces of software, we enable groups to get together and make music as an ensemble. Using technology like the Leap Motion Controller allows us to use our hands to directly engage virtual instruments, from the plucking of a virtual string to the casting of a sonic fireball.

At expos like VRLA, I got to see what a powerful pairing the Leap Motion Controller and Oculus are and believe there is still so much left to explore!”. We’re super committed to bringing VR to the masses, as we think it will revolutionize data visualisation, education, medicine and so on.”. Requires: Windows, Oculus Rift.

cable with data connection. The link helps developers send hand data back for hand position. Your hand movement data will not be perfect on your desktop compared to when it is on the headset. The more complex your application, the larger the user testing group you’ll need to make sure everything works as you’d expect.

The incumbents have an advantage with existing mapping such as Google Maps, Earth, Street View, Apple Maps and the Indoor Maps Program, and Bing Maps but there are also significant geographic data players such as Foursquare and OpenStreetMap. We are seeing industry groups like Open AR Cloud campaigning for interoperability.

All the people that were working on AR/VR inside Facebook now have a new group they belong to: “Facebook Reality Labs”. 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.

Brandon Bray leads the Mixed Reality developer ecosystem, and Greg Sullivan is on the marketing team for the Windows & Devices Group. But I do have some concerns with their approach based upon my experiences with other line-of-sight controllers such as the Leap Motion.

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.

Physical space allows users to spatially arrange objects in order to make sense of data and its meaning, thereby revealing relationships and making connections. As participants add data to the wall, sticky notes appear in thematic groupings spatially across the board. Up close, we can see the individual interrelated data points.

From there, the opportunities to expand a user’s understanding of data are endless. In the context of motion controls, good affordance is critical, since it is necessary that users interact with objects in the expected manner. Creating Affordances. Well-designed tools afford their intended operation and negatively afford improper use.

Hover VR interfaces use the Leap Motion Controller, providing hand-based interactions and strong sense of immersion in the virtual space. Each firework has two groups of settings (“A” and “B”) for customizing its stars, tails, and explosion patterns. How does it feel to be surrounded by fireworks? To use the menu interface?

In contrast, there is a much greater variety of VR devices: HMDs, motion and position trackers, hand and finger sensors, eye trackers, body suits, locomotion devices, force feedback devices, augmented reality cameras and more. Yet another advantage is the ability to add in-line analysis plugins to the data path. The result?

But what they did was essentially brought two different groups of kids that were 12-to-13-year-old kids, and taught them basic physics, mechanics. So even a week later, after not being reminded the content after they were retested, they outperformed the immediate test scores of the control group. Can you speak to that?

Depending on the nature of the interface, the first object of a group to be touched can momentarily lock out all others. At Leap Motion, we’ve been experimenting internally with a range of different interfaces that are part of the user.

I got an exclusive devkit before the lockdown, so let me tell you my impressions on them so that you can understand who of the above groups of people is correct. But… I have two big BUTs: Etee tries to mix the best of fingers tracking solutions like Leap Motion with the best of controllers like Oculus Touch.

Then there are the problems that are inherent to all hands-tracking solutions like Leap Motion : no haptic feedback, virtual hands that trespass objects they are interacting with, and such. We are also improving RenderDoc to report more performance data. That means it will run more smoothly on Quest.
