Sony promises amazing haptic sensations on the controllers, that should be able to provide “impactful, textured, and nuanced” sensations. Facebook is also working with haptics, and it has presented two prototypes of the wristbands that could apply vibrations or pressure sensations on the wrist. It will so have inside-out tracking.

You can be a lot more expressive within social VR, and in mixed reality experiences where passive haptic feedback is available, having your hands tracked can actually increase the level of embodied presence. LISTEN TO THE VOICES OF VR PODCAST.

In all of this, someone has created the design for a Leap Motion mount for the Index that exploits the frunk. HTC has released some interesting statistics on the VR market. Every year, HTC conducts a big survey on the Chinese VR market and shares the results with the community. 5G is coming to Italy.

One of the first accessories for AR/VR I had the opportunity to work on is the Leap Motion hands tracking controller : I made some cool experiments and prototypes with it and the Oculus Rift DK2. Leap Motion has also been the first important company I have interviewed in this blog. If you want, you can find it here below!

VSDK is a Unity-based solution for developers looking to create naturalistic user interactions whilst supporting a wide variety of headsets (HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest) and peripherals (bHaptics TactSuit, Leap Motion, and ManusVR gloves.).

That application became Cat Explorer , which you can download now for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. 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.

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. Tactile feedback. Next up is the bodysuit.

I had the pleasure of participating to the “VR Visionaries” event in Kaohsiung and then I headed to Taipei to meet some XR companies (like HTC ) and people. 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!).

We don’t know if it is just a reference design for external partners (like HTC) or it is an actual headset that Valve is producing. Someone hypothesizes that Valve may produce the headset by itself because: HTC has started its own store, Viveport , and so it is not pushing Steam as an official store anymore. What can this mean?

HTC has a new CEO: Yves Maitre. HTC, one of the most important companies in the VR landscape, has now a new boss: Yves Maitre. Apart from the name change, I wonder if they will release soon a product that incorporates both hands tracking and contact-less haptic feedback in only one device. I would really love to have it!

What’s different about FlyInside though is both Rift and Vive users can use their respective motion controllers to manipulate levers, buttons, and requisite knobs. Leap Motion is also supported too, letting you manipulate controls in the cockpit with your own two hands.

Dean: I’ve tried some haptics gloves. I mean, it sort of makes more sense to me that, as long as the prices for the headsets are lingering up pretty high — like the Cosmos from HTC, the brand new one, it’ll be an $800 purchase. It makes the Pro Eye more expensive than the other HTC offerings for sure.

Because if Apple is just going to repeat the same use cases of the HTC Vive and Meta Quest 2, but selling it at $3000, it is just going to fail spectacularly. That’s why the headset should be available by the end of the year, and my bet is that Apple is trying to have it ready before the holidays. But the big question is the “how”.
