Ultraleap Launches Gemini – Its Fifth-Gen Hand-Tracking Platform
The new model has fast initialization speed, allows two-hand interaction, tracks diverse hand sizes, and works in challenging environments.
Ultraleap’s fifth-generation hand-tracking platform Gemini is now fully available on Windows. The company's robust hand-tracking is already powering experiences from Varjo, has been integrated into Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 platform, and is bringing touchless technology to self-service solutions around the world.
For the new model, Ultraleap has rebuilt its tracking engine from the ground up to be able to improve hand tracking across various aspects including:
- Improved two-handed interaction
- Faster initialization and hand detection
- Improved robustness to challenging environmental conditions
- Better adaptation to hand anatomy
Ultraleap has also made significant changes to the tracking platform to be able to extend hand-tracking to different platforms and hardware. Varjo’s XR-3 and VR-3 headsets and Qualcomm’s XR2 chipset are two variations already announced, with more in the pipeline.
“From powering immersive XR experiences to providing quick and easy engagement with digital screens, Gemini is making natural interaction between people and technology possible," comments Tom Carter, CEO of Ultraleap. "With ten years of ongoing developer support, experimentation, and feedback, we’ve refined our hand tracking to deliver the best and most flexible hand tracking available."
