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. Today, we’re seeing the very beginning of what VR technology will look like.

The technology approximates the shape of your hand and creates a set of 3D points to accurately represent your hand and finger movement in VR. 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. .

Circuit Stream , the company he works for, offers a full platform of AR/VR training and learning services to help people master immersive technology. The FPS Microgame lets you modify and play first-person shooter games. Due to the extra calculations happening in hand-tracking, it has higher latency compared to controllers.

BCIs are still in the early stages, and even if they are evolving at a good pace, the technology for “brain control” is still not here. But… there is also a drawback, that is the latency. action games). This was very noticeable especially in the games: the breakout game (who remembers the mighty Arkanoid?)

A step up from an Oculus Go for those that want more power, much better tracking for immersive games and experiences. In addition, Google has launched a number of VR games on the Google Play store, such as the Titans of Space and Deep Space Battle. It is not just a headset, but a content portal, with stories, games and experiences.

Location-based games are already popular, with over a billion downloads of Pokemon Go in the three years since it launched, and over 20B kilometers walked playing the game. We’ve also seen smartphones with depth cameras, for instance from Lenovo and Asus with Google’s pre-ARCore Tango technology.

When game engines are used for VR, they have to include many new capabilities: stereo rendering, higher frame rate, distortion correction, latency control and more. But one topic that is often overlooked is that VR game engine also have to deal with a wide variety of VR peripherals, each with their own API. The result?

You probably have heard about Leap Motion’s Project North Star , that should be able to offer people affordable augmented reality. Notice a Leap Motion sensor installed on top of it. Project North Star is an opensource augmented reality headset that Leap Motion has designed and gifted to the community.

At a recent Designers + Geeks talk , Jody Medich and Daniel Plemmons talked about some of the discoveries our team has made (and the VR best practices we’ve developed) while building VR experiences with the Oculus Rift and the Leap Motion Controller. Here’s what we’ve learned building menus for Leap Motion.

So, basically, you connect with a USB cable your Quest to your PC, and you can play PC VR games, on the Oculus Store, Steam or Viveport. According to Ars Technica , the frames don’t get sent as a whole, but in little horizonal slices there are continuously streamed, so that to reduce a lot the perceived latency.

Acer, NVIDIA, Valve, Ubisoft, Leap Motion and many others joined the ecosystem. We see goggles, motion trackers, haptics, eye trackers, motion chairs and body suits. They need software: game engine plugins, compatible content and software utilities. Low latency is also not the result of one single technique.
