Thankfully, the team at Leap Motion have been working tirelessly to deliver hand tracking and late last year launched their much more compact hand tracking solution specifically aimed at mobile form factors. The real improvements are increased performance, power savings and support for Leap Motion.

Between Google’s Tilt Brush and Blocks and Oculus’ Medium and Quill you might not think there’s much room for more creative experiences within VR. Other expected features like pulling in reference images are all here. I haven’t got a Leap to test this out with, but the idea of using it certainly intrigues me.

A guy and a girl from Prague showcased in Stereopsia a simple demo where you could play the piano with a Vive with a Leap Motion mounted on. Since the tracking of Leap Motion is not fast and reliable enough to let you really play a virtual piano, they made a game inspired by playing this instrument. VR Pianist.

Qualcomm is the company making almost all the chipsets and the reference designs upon which almost all XR headsets of nowadays are based upon. At the beginning of 2020, the American company will finalize its reference design based on this chipset, and in the second half of the year we will see the first headsets implementing this technology.

Nonverbal communication has been huge for us, where we can have people wave, give the Fonzi ‘eyyyy, air quotes, thumbs up… especially with Leap Motion Orion. What’s best about the hand tracking from Leap Motion is that it’s feeding from the actual hands from the person. That stuff just comes across so wonderfully.

The city is full of references to Virtual Reality, and so it is like a paradise for us VR enthusiasts. But having seen Google taking a similar route, releasing a faceplate to add 6DOF controller tracking for Mirage Solo , I think that both companies realized that the hardware solution was a better solution at the moment.
