Ultraleap
Formed when Leap Motion and Ultrahaptics came together in May 2019, Ultraleap brings together powerful 3D hand tracking with haptic technology able to create the sensation of touch in mid-air. The company's products include Leap Motion Controller, an optical hand tracking module that captures the movements of your hands with unparalleled accuracy; Leap Motion VR Developer Mount, an accessory for the Leap Motion Controller that enables virtual reality experiences on Windows PC VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive; Ultrahaptics STRATOS Explore, a flexible and scalable high-end haptics development kit; and Ultrahaptics STRATOS Inspire, a plug-and-play haptic module designed to take out-of-home entertainment, advertising and retail to the next level. Some of the apps that use Ultraleap's technology include First Aid Training, psii.rehab (rehabilitation for stroke patients), Study: Leap Motion Game for ADHD, Vivid Vision (therapy for lazy eye sufferers), and VR Data Visualizer (which brings together a wealth of patient data in virtual reality).
