Keiichi Matsuda, creative director and VP design at Leap Motion, showed off the company’s augmented reality user interface prototype on Twitter on Thursday. In the video, a hand is seen through a special AR headset, and when flipped palm side up, three tabs appear on the hand. The tabs are interactive and can pull up a menu, but what’s interesting is that similar to a mouse on a computer screen, a finger can only interact with the virtual buttons at specific points. This interface could be the next step for smartphone and virtual reality device as it allows for the use of a device using just a pair of hands and empty space.
