Magic Leap Adds Virtual Reality Head-Tracking and Possibly Hand-Tracking
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Networkworld: Magic Leap has made progress. A year ago, the MR apparatus wasn't really wearable. This may have been due to the sheer size of the prototype hardware, or the software that adjusts the illusion for head movement and changes in perspective may not have been completed. The complexity of the mathematics of this head-tracking applied to the complexity of the mathematics of Magic Leap's proprietary light-field chip may have required more development time. The Wired report of Kellyâ(TM)s experience indicates the prototype headset he tested is now wearable, perhaps untethered from a high-powered graphics-rendering computer used by the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. Kellyâ(TM)s report raises the question: Could Magic Leap have implemented hand-tracking, too? He writes, âoeWhen I raise a hand, it approaches and extends a glowing appendage to touch my fingertip.âRead more of this story at Slashdot.
