Ultrahaptics went on to raise $23 million, begin to interest car companies , and later absorb the much-hyped Leap Motion, which, it turns out, was a match made in heaven, by uniting both hand tracking and mid-air haptics. Of course, one of the key drivers of this touchless technology is of course The Great Pandemic.
