Ultraleap Announces Hand Tracking Accessory for Pico Neo 3 Headsets

4/12/2022
On the opening day of Laval Virtual, Ultraleap announces a Hand Tracking Accessory for the Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye to deliver world-class, natural interaction for enterprise.

Available as a bundle combined with the Pico Neo 3 Pro or Pro Eye through Schenker Technologies, Mace VL and VR Expert, the accessory will unlock high-value use cases and bring in new users of all ages and levels of technical competency.

Early access of Ultraleap’s Hand Tracking Accessory is available now for developers, evaluation, and proof of concepts, with the full bundle for scalable deployments coming in summer 2022.

The Ultraleap Hand Tracking Accessory for the Pico Neo 3 Pro consists of the Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 hand tracking camera in a bespoke mount. Ultraleap’s latest generation of software, Gemini, will also be pre-installed on the chosen headset. Unity and Unreal platforms are supported for the early access bundle, with more tooling options being created for the summer 2022 bundle launch.

Using hand tracking to replace or supplement gaming controllers expands the VR enterprise market, opening up new possibilities such as VR training experiences for flight attendants or even surgical training. Hand tracking can also be used to reduce onboarding time and make VR more approachable for first-time or inexperienced users in Location-Based Entertainment (LBE). Companies like Lufthansa, Embodied Labs and VEX are already seeing the benefits of adding natural interaction to their training and LBE roll outs.

Matt Tullis, VP, XR at Ultraleap, said: “VR for training is on the cusp of mainstream adoption and we truly believe hand tracking plays an important part in tipping it over the edge. We’re already seeing significant wins from customers who have deployed VR training programmes or LBE experiences with hand tracking. This first phase of the Pico relationship will mean more developers and organisations will be able to test, pilot and refine their applications to unlock the true power of VR now and deploy at scale in a few months.”

Leland Hedges, GM for Pico Interactive Europe, said: “We’re very excited to bring Ultraleap hand tracking to our latest VR headsets through this accessory. When applications need the highest performing hand tracking for complex interactions or challenging environments, Ultraleap’s hand tracking really is world-class. We can’t wait to see what developers and organisations will create from this joint effort.”
