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).
