It looks like it will access HTC’s storefront, called Viveport, to get to virtual worlds rather than Google Play. These standalone systems are designed to be far more convenient than Rift and Vive because they don’t require separate hardware like a phone, PC or dedicated external tracking systems to operate.

As mainstream VR/AR input continues to evolve – from the early days of gaze-only input to wand-style controllers and fully articulated hand tracking – so too are the virtual user interfaces we interact with. When we bring our hands into a virtual space, we also bring a lifetime’s worth of physical biases with us.

Mova will be a 6DOF headset with 2 tracking cameras, working natively only with hands tracking (there is a controller for fallback, though). Controllers are fundamental for interactions in most VR experiences and hands tracking is only good for watching videos, go on social XR worlds, and play simple games.

VR has the power to transform our lives and connect us in new ways, while hand tracking lets you reach beyond the digital divide and take control. But with the lines between the real and virtual worlds now blurrier than ever, could we cut it even further? Please try a new text input interface using Leap Motion!”

From the mouse and touchscreen, to hand tracking platforms like the Leap Motion Controller, the design of UI elements like the humble button is shaped by the hardware and how we use it. For Leap Motion and VR, we recommend that a single finger target should be no smaller than 20 mm in real-world size.
