Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 Camera Module Evaluation Kit

Overview

The Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 is a next-generation optical hand tracking module that captures the movement of users’ hands and fingers so they can interact naturally with digital content. It is designed to be integrated intoenterprise-grade hardware solutions, displays, installations, and virtual/augmented reality headsets for AR/VR/XR prototyping, research, and development.

The Stereo IR 170 Evaluation kit consists of the Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 camera module in a plastic housing with USB header, allowing for easy plug-and-play evaluation.

The Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 camera module uses the same core software as its predecessor, the Leap Motion Controller. Both can discern 27 distinct hand elements, including bones and joints, and track them even when they are obscured by other parts of the hand.

Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 features a wider field of view, a longer tracking range, lower power consumption, and smaller form factor. It’s capable of tracking hands within a 3D interactive zone that extends from 10cm (4”) to 75cm (29.5”) or more, extending from the device in a 170x170° typical field of view (160x160° minimum).

Applications

Example applications for Ultraleap Stereo IR 170
