The latest, from Sweedish developer ManoMotion , is an additional SDK that allows developers to integrate hand gesture controls into their AR apps quickly. It recognizes a variety of gestures including swipes, clicking, tapping, grabbing, and releasing. It also provides tracking for both left and right hands, and a set of pre-defined gestures for developers to integrate into their apps. MORE
There were also huge announcements from Unity, HP, Microsoft, and others. For example, how does someone with Parkinson’s navigate gesture controls? Unity. Designers also brought in two extra side-facing cameras to increase the range of gesture controls – a trick borrowed from Microsoft’s HoloLens. The third day of AWE 2020 may go down in history as the most wholesome day in the history of XR technology. MORE
A version will also be created that uses more sophisticated hand tracking and gesture controls rather than a physical book. The VR/AR Association held its second virtual VR/AR Global Summit last week, concluding Friday afternoon. MORE

Similar to Microsoft’s $3,000 HoloLens, the device can project virtual images into the real world that you can interact with using a remote-like controller (though HoloLens uses gesture controls). The device will support apps made on both Unity and Unreal game development engines. Nearly four years after it was first teased to the world, the first Magic Leap augmented reality headset is now on sale to developers. MORE
Earlier this year British startup Litho revealed its hardware idea for controlling and manipulating digital objects in the real world, an elegant device which sits between your index and middle fingers. So the device is Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) enabled, offering gesture controls to build and manipulate 3D objects, while the underside has a touchpad for your thumb to add further input. MORE
