The 3D printed housing of a downward facing event sensor, connected via wire with a Raspberry Pi Zero battery pack and Raspberry Pi Zero is on display at AugmentedWorld Expo in Long Beach. Direct platform integration would only require the event sensor to track gestures. Matt Tullis VP of XR for Ultraleap explains that the goal is to enable “gesture input all day long for smart glasses and AR glasses.” “
I noticed some missed gestures in the demo and implementing sensors like these directly into a headset would probably require another sensor installed the other side to see left-hand movements.
Back in May, Ultraleap announced
called Hyperion, with high-power and low-power modes mentioned at the time. Ultraleap had to work around the headset manufacturers who were trying to create their own solution to hand tracking. Ultraleap, with Hyperion and the Leap Motion 2 controller add-on and OpenXR, is getting ready to drive a new wave of head mounted devices that support gestural input.
