That's not a blocker. It's a USB 2 and 3 hybrid device, but we never actually rolled out USB 3 in the firmware (would have raised the minimum spec too high for too many people with almost no benefits), so it runs on USB 2.0.

The two aren't mutually incompatible. Stay tuned.

Sure! With V2 we saw a more robust and granular hand model, with every finger and joint in the hand being identified. Significantly better performance against ambient light. And huge improvements to how the software handled finger occlusion

The software has gone through two successive generations, each a massive step up from the last.

Head writer at Leap Motion here, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But it's like night and day.

Four years is a long time. Our API is quite open, and we provided public access to the raw image data back in early 2014. As for our App Store and App Home, sure, we built out a curated app ecosystem. Developers have always been free to pub

The known issues don't entirely disappear, but their relative impact does shrink. And Orion is largely retro-compatible with desktop mode.

How about 6 dimensions? Two hands, each able to move along 3 axes: http://blog.leapmotion.com/creating-a-hand-controlled-orches...

Fair point. Right now most of the activity is taking place on our developer gallery ( https://developer.leapmotion.com/gallery/ ), which is entirely free. But content distribution is definitely an issue. We have embedded

Leap employee here. Have you tried the new Orion tracking software? It's like night and day, especially for VR.

Much of that is the projector. The experience within the headset itself is much tighter, less than 35 ms from end to end. (Our tech accounts for 12-13 milliseconds, while a 90 Hz VR display and the GPU add about another 22.) While the exper

Sorry to hear that; have you had a chance to try it with VR?

by leapmotion_alex 11y ago
Definitely -- being able to process 120+ frames of stereo image data, every second, with near-imperceptible latency, involves a decent chunk of processing power. That's why we recommend 2GHz at a minimum. The alternative would have bee

Lead writer at Leap here; sorry to hear about your bad experience. We hit some solid tracking improvement milestones this spring with the 2.2+ series of core software builds, and there are some larger improvements on the way. If you're

Hope you'll give it a shot; Image Hands significantly reduces the kinds of jitters that can ruin a decent user experience. In case you haven't yet, be sure to calibrate and optimize your tracking: http://blog.leapmotion

Transparent screens are definitely the way forward, but don't discount the possibilities of camera-to-screen passthrough within Gen 1 VR devices. Ultimately the distinction between AR and VR is going to dissolve to the point where it&#

Dragonfly has some pretty significant hardware advantages for passthrough and FOV, but the biggest challenge is really at the software level, which is common to all our devices. (Full disclosure: lead writer at Leap)
