I’m telling ya folks, within the next 5-10 years we’re gonna have an augmented reality cat collector & you’ll be able to interact with the pets. This is a prototype that tells me it’s right around the corner.

All the important aspects are there -- the haptic feedback (fancy way of saying you can touch & interact with the holograms, which is what that square thing below the dog is for), that it’s actually cute and doesn’t look like some of those fuckfaced pets you see in games in the Android store, that it’s for the HoloLens which is so far showing promise as an AR device.

After negotiations with Apple fail, Leap Motion sold to UltraHaptics for bargain price of $30 million

“Leap Motion, which made hand-tracking systems for virtual and augmented reality headsets, is reportedly being acquired by haptics company UltraHaptics,” Adi Robertson reports for The Verge. “The Wall Street Journal reported the news earlier today, saying that the San Francisco-based Leap Motion had agreed to sell for around $30 million.”

“That’s a fraction of Leap Motion’s $306 million valuation…

[ad_1]  Ultrahaptics helps you to contact what you see in digital and augmented actuality, and even give a 2D poster 3D feeling. It makes use of small speaker-like ultrasound wave emitters to present the feeling of strain and texture whenever you’re simply waving your fingers within the open air. Ultrahaptics CTO Tom Carter demoed the know-how on stage at present at TechCrunch’s Disrupt Berlin…

Had the pleasure of meeting the guys from #UltraHaptics today, tried their hot new #hardware which allows you to feel #virtual objects that are not actually present using focused #ultrasound. How did it feel? It was sort of a light touch where the object was supposed to be as you brushed your hand on it. Imagine a bubble popping on the palm of your hand - this sort of force. Whilst subtle it was still rather cool and I'm sure if you used it in the right context and creative ways it could unlock some fun experiences. Check out out of you get the chance.

The virtual reality world has an incredibly valuable player in town: Ultrahaptics. Founded in 2013 by Tom Carter, Ultrahaptics is a tech company using ultrasound to simulate the feeling of an outline. This feeling is called haptic feedback. The technology is being tested in sound systems to cars, to games. It can also assist the blind and deaf to navigate safer in our ever moving world.  

This is an incredibly new piece of technology in the virtual reality gaming world that can benefit from investors from all over the tech world. It took 5 years of experimentation, but when it happened, Carter secured £600 000 seed money from a venture captial firm. Just last year, Ultrahaptics received a 10.1 million pound Series A investment round and a 1.5 million euro grant from the EU with the goal of bringing the technology to the market. 

“...touch is the key to what makes this company unique”

In addition to just seeing with virtual-reality goggles and hearing with surround-sound headphones, the virtual reality itself will come to life with the sense of touch. This touch is the key to what makes this company unique. Although there are other companies working on their own version, Ultrahaptics is currently the only one that allows people to manipulate and feel objects into the air. This function of manipulation will attract an incredibly large audience of tech companies hoping to advance and provide an “edge” to their products, such as an invisible volume slider on home stereos. 

The newer generations are already fascinating with the ability to do more in technology. Children, especially video game savvy adolescents are incredibly sensitive to quality of gaming. If the sensation of feeling can be added to a virtual reality game, an Iron Man fan’s dream might come true. The software itself is programmed to find your hand, to create multiple sensations such as flowing water so that what you see on a screen might come to life.
