It was quite the demo (see the video below). Ultrahaptics went on to raise $23 million, begin to interest car companies , and later absorb the much-hyped Leap Motion, which, it turns out, was a match made in heaven, by uniting both hand tracking and mid-air haptics.

One of the biggest names in the VR data glove field is Manus VR, and VRFocus recently got to test its new flagship product, Manus Prime Haptic. Prior to the demo, the prospect of testing these gloves was an exciting one. Then it came to the haptics. Well, sort of. On a quick side note, notice the open fingertips?

They have been so kind to set up a demo just for me in Beijing (the company is from Shenzhen) to let me try their product and have a chat about it, and I really want to thank them for their kindness and the time they spent with me. The world had seen enough fancy demos people can’t have access to. Force-feedback. That’s like magic.

To demonstrate how this technology works, Facebook offered a hands-on demo for attendees to try out using their VR game Elixir at the Oculus Connect 6 demo area. . It’s a strange feeling not having any feeling when touching or grabbing things, something dedicated Leap Motion and HoloLens users are already used too.

Sony promises amazing haptic sensations on the controllers, that should be able to provide “impactful, textured, and nuanced” sensations. Ctrl+Labs already demoed it years ago: check out the link to the Dino Game that I added below this paragraph. The wrist seems to be a very promising point for next-gen haptics and controllers.

I also tried a demo that employed Taiwanese gloves and scent emission hardware. The company showcasing it was OReady and the demo was a marketing experience for a whiskey brand. Even worse, it wasn’t able to track my finger movements well (it was worse than Leap Motion … and Leap Motion doesn’t have worn sensors!).

Hand tracking has always been one of those options that sound nice in principle, but would you actually pay for it, adding a Leap Motion device or something a little more extravagant like a data glove? The demo shown at OC6 was a testament to the work FRL has been doing.

And of course this is all much more likely to happen in the most inconvenient and crucial moments of a demo or experience. To test the feature, the team used an Oculus Rift CV1 for display and a Leap Motion was applied for hand tracking.

On the surface it’s a fun, slightly twisted tech demo. The essential type of in-air finger input is pinch gesture—it provides much-desired haptic feedback, can be reliably repeated by most of the users, and is clearly intentional, as in it doesn’t happen by accident. This is the core of our mission at Leap Motion.

The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal. But it’s still incredible enough to give a taste of where it’s headed.

My recent interest in virtual reality and Leap Motion input led to several interesting project ideas. Your hand may obscure the target, and the lack of haptic feedback can make it difficult to gauge your progress. Here are some thoughts that might be helpful when building tools of your own: Build a demo from the start.
