Adding Hands To Virtual Reality (VR)

This Startup Gave Me a Hand in Virtual Reality

Leap Motion's new tech lets wearers reach out and touch virtual reality

Lisa Eadicicco | February 17, 2016



“Look down at your hands. Can you see them?”
The question comes from David Holz, chief technology officer and co-founder of Leap Motion. In any other scenario, the query would seem odd, if not outright insane. But today, I’m sitting in a conference room with a virtual reality (VR) headset strapped to my face. The goggles take me out of the physical world and immerse me in a virtual one that’s a little like being inside Tron.
