Project North Star: Exploring Augmented Reality

Project North Star is a full augmented reality platform that allows us to chart and sail the waters of a new world, where the digital and physical substrates exist as a single fluid experience.

This looks too good to be real o_0 There's almost no latency, everything sticks to the hand and doesn't jump around, and it just looks so perfect!

[@copordrop]

This is just the coolest shit ever, I’ve been hyped about this since I saw the blog post so thanks for uploading a bit more footage 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Qweba]

this is the best example if this tech yet, glad to see you finally uploaded it to youtube!

[@snovak1]

This really is stunning. The fact that you're open sourcing the hardware has me super stoked. **warms up the makerbot**

[@scalpol]

This is beautiful, and your decision is really admirable. Keep the good work guys!

[@Stijn081]

Wow, really impressive. Tracking is incredible and this seems like a genious application of the technology.

[@DavidBoura]

Guys, this is one of the most amazing things i've seen in my life!

[@npaisfordummies2162]

I like how the hands can cover the image. Good job

[@albertgertskis4355]

This is absolutely amazing!!!!

[@featheredmusic]

Magic leap just got owned

[@slateisa]

I'm a big fan of Leap Motion since the beginning in 2010. I can't wait to get my hands in those open source files and CAD designs of this AR headset to start experimenting with AR!!! 😀 I'm planning to use the ZED Mini camera with this headset to make a full AR headset like Meta 2 and I want to use my Google Tango phone to make an untether headset like Hololens. I think this is going to be the boom in AR. I can't wait to see the hacks that people come with this!!!

[@Veptis]

Looks fantastic, will there me a talk or showcase video as well or just blog posts?

[@YahyaKN]

this is literally the best thing i have ever seen could you guys explain how you guys made this like what, im literally perplexed, i want one now how much is it

[@snovak1]

I'm impressed.

[@antoine8730]

Nice job, I'm trying to by one of leap motion for making something like this

[@armusx]

Can't wait for the developer kits

[@masonm.5778]

This is 40x more exciting to me than VR is... Keep up the good work guys!

[@blubear1225]

[@blubear1225]

PyGuy AR is pretty garbo Has increasingly limited applications, seeing as how public interest is hovering in at about zero

[@pumpuppthevolume]

u can do the same in vr blog.leapmotion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/arm-hud-widget2.gif and u can do ar with a vr headset kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYrde6uLbtNogMk and if u cover up an ar headset or if the tracking works in the dark u get a crappy vr headset and u can have sunglasses vr displays capable of great ar pass through (in the future) -->lightfield-forum.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nvidia-near-eye-light-field-displays.jpg ar vs vr is a false dichotomy ....they r both tracked hmds giving u spatial interaction with digital objects .....and a headset doing it all is inevitable

[@pumpuppthevolume]

Billy Bob did u see the the link with the nvidia demo..... it will be sunglasses from factor and with the light field display and good light field camera setup the light that will get to your eye will be more or less the same light that will get in your eye without glasses there r some problems with this but nothing impossible and u can always take them off to look at the world just like with any glasses including transparent hmds

[@proskub5039]

i can feel the flaps on my mind-hand

[@MemeScreen]

So cool

[@ckallin]

super cool

[@smitezer3240]

Hey this is really cool

[@ignis1577]

I am currently using the North Star right now, but was wonder how you guys were able to get the AR view screen capture? Especially in Unity?

[@ZeroBudgetDevelopments]

Hello leap motion I just bought my first leap motion for developing for vr and ar I plan in buying a beginner level 3d printer to start making my own so I can get on this technology what I would like to know is where can we source the electronics as my electronics skills are zero thanks to anyone who answers with links I'm in two minds whether to buy a rift and gfx card or the printer and display driver I'm leaning on rift cuz other than real world augmentation I'm assuming the ORION BETA SDK is the one stop shop cuz if so rift will give me the ability now to start building for the northstar and hopefully leap motions officially released project northstar commercial units

[@FarhanKhan18]

Can I import my 3D model which is built-in blender or Maya into Augmented reality and use it for my presentation

[@krautsammler6741]

Hi, I wanted to know whether a camera like the t265 is required for the North Star to be functioning? Or can I also have AR experience without it?

[@alleycatsphinx]

The hall of mirrors is genius.

[@BManStan1991]

As an industry outsider, I’m 100% in. Just, wow. I’m at a loss for words at how amazingly cool this is. This is even more impressive to me than the first time I saw what Palmer lucky and his team at oculus were doing back in the first half of the decade (and that’s saying something since I love VR).

[@JamesGamesGamers_Unite]

Where can we get this headset?!?!?!

[@YahyaKN]

i literally am so interested in this. I want to learn how did you guys make this!!?!!! this isn’t realistic right? please explain this

[@christiandeuctor3606]

I get how you guys do the hand tracking but how do you determine what's in the foreground and what's in the background?

[@blubear1225]

Jeremy Brunson Well, based on depth, I'd assume

[@Unvexdd]

I think they're using a hidden/invisible version of the tracked hand, since they know where the virtual objects are relative to the hand, they use the hidden hand to occlude the virtual object, just a hypothesis.

[@tomasusan]

anEnigma That's right!

[@NivekJump]

I guess it's basically Occlusion Culling, and they place the hands(And arms I guess) in the 3D environment (Logical for the machine, a 3D Space, just like in video games) since they know where the hands are(Like really accurate just like another 3D model) they can apply OC to the other objects. It's really Impressive.

[@fika5458]

Ordinal Scale, ....... Activate !!!

[@markdustin1499]

Updates?

[@ThinkGizmo]

ar technology is awesome.

[@jazzyhands8783]

2 questions; Cost? Release date?

[@user-wx4nv8xr3d]

2020

[@levk6688]

İs it MR or AR?

[@siskw4193]

What is the name of these apps?

[@kenGPT]

Looks like the fov is very narrow

[@tomasusan]

Ken R Over 100 degrees vertical (largest in the world).

[@piratecheese13]

shut up and take my money

[@ahmadrausyan9585]

Sword art online is about to get real

[@YahyaKN]

is this real?

[@RyouConcord]

This makes the hololens look like a wii motion gesture piece of crap.

[@deinemama535]

Pls lets US Show more

[@bellshoe2894]

Anyone here selling their headset for a not-so-crazy price?

[@radicaledward4717]

joestar

[@algharibe]

is a holographic projection or whats ?

[@pumpuppthevolume]

see the blog link in the info

[@Neojhun]

Nope, it uses Headset and Lenses.
