Simple interactivity with the orbs is possible with motion control; the experience will support all major VR hardware, but is likely to feel most engaging when used with the Leap Motion hand tracking system. To progress to the next chapter, you’re asked to leave your own audio message behind, for others to discover.

VR was a big part of last year with new experiences, hardware and companies pushing the technology to the forefront of our everyday lives. As for VR hardware, Naylor says, “I’m looking for something that allows the aforementioned content to reach its full potential whilst making itself as accessible as possible to consumers.”.

A lot has been going on behind the scenes here at Leap Motion. In many ways it has, but in many ways we’re still separated from the vast worlds of data trapped behind glass screens. It’s part hardware, part software, built from the ground up to tackle the unique challenges of hand tracking for VR.

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. The goal was to build a cohesive VR interface that plays nicely with both hardware’s current limitations.

Hand-tracking on the Quest without the need for any type of additional hardware shows a lot of promise for the future of the Quest and VR as a whole. Basically, the Quest is using its built-in depth sensors and cameras to track each knuckle and the surface of your hands and then uses that data to mirror those movements in your VR environment.
