There is a lot of ground that we still have to walk to ensure that virtual reality stops being a paradigm and becomes something much more tangible, especially for the majority of the population. To get to this point, there are many investigations and developments that still need to be achieved although, thanks to the agreement reached by Leap Motion y Qualcomm this seems a little bit closer.
Within the agreement reached, both Leap Motion and Qualcomm will merge the technologies that they have developed completely independently to date into a only product, we talk about Qualcomm's positioning and tracking technologies as well as the technologies that allow hand tracking developed by Leap Motion itself. Thanks to this union, a new platform will be achieved capable of allowing a user to interact with virtual reality in a much more natural way.
The union of Leap Motion and Qualcomm will allow to develop a new way of interacting with virtual reality much more natural.
Undoubtedly, thanks to this union of forces, it is possible, in turn, to further support the great evolution and all the possibilities offered by a processor such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, which will be used as a basis in this new platform and which will offer a new way of understanding virtual reality and above all how to interact with it, leaving aside all that series of sticks, buttons and controls that brands such as Google have opted for. Samsung or HTC.
As he commented Tim leland, Vice President of Qualcomm Technologies Inc .:
Natural user interfaces such as hand movements will help consumers to interact much more intuitively with virtual reality. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 was designed to combine six degrees of tracking, high FPS rates in VR content, reverse audio, and 3D graphics with real-time rendering.
