- TheRealSteel 7y agoYou can buy a LeapMotion and stick it to the front of Rift right now. I've done it, it's amazingly immersive and feels fantastic.
- gfodor 7y agoI really wonder how this compares to the LeapMotion tracking. My suspicion is that the leap tracking is now hardened by years of real world experience, so it's probably ahead of anything that's still in the R&D stage. But hard to know without testing it.
- tootie 7y agoThis article doesn't actual mention anywhere but it implies it's doing all this with a regular camera. LeapMotion and others use more complex sensors. The ML approach is really impressive but getting clearer input would seem to be a more reliable approach.
- joshspankit 7y agoThe LeapMotion actually use ultrasonics for measurements and then guesses to translate that to hand-tracking. Doing it fully from a camera may actually improve on it if done right.
- gfodor 7y agoThat’s the magic leap. The original leap motion uses stereoscopic infrared cameras afaik.
- joshspankit 7y agoNope, you’re totally right. Don’t know where I got the idea that the little Leap Motion was ultrasonic. Apologies to the readers.
