Our economy depends so much on electricity yet so little has been done to enable electrification success in the continent. Sound regulatory frameworks and an innovative technology among other things can change the story, my recent article talks about this.
Leap Motion have officially announced development of an open-source Augmented Reality system for prototyping experiences, focused on affordability and performance (rather than looks):
North Star is a full augmented reality platform that allows us to chart and sail the waters of a new world, where the digital and physical substrates exist as a single fluid experience.
The first step of this endeavor was to create a system with the technical specifications of a pair of augmented glasses from the future. This meant our prototype had to far exceed the state of the art in resolution, field-of-view, and framerate.
Borrowing components from the next generation of VR systems, we created an AR headset with two ultra-bright, low-persistence 1600×1440 displays pushing 120 frames per second with an expansive visual field over 100 degrees in diameter. Coupled with our world-class 180° hand tracking sensor, we realized that we had a system unlike anything anyone had seen before.
All of this was possible while keeping the design of the North Star headset fundamentally simple – under one hundred dollars to produce at scale. So although this is an experimental platform right now, we expect that the design itself will spawn further endeavors that will become available to the rest of the world.
To this end, next week we will make the hardware and related software open source. The discoveries from these early endeavors should be available and accessible to everyone.
It is early days in relation to public infomation about the project, but more will follow at the Leap Motion blog here
It is an uncommon skill to find a new path to excellence; the newest ones can be arduous but they are often shortcuts to greatness. Keep soaring @chidiogo_oo
