Nreal AR Glasses to Get Hand and Finger Tracking
Nreal is busy improving the capabilities of its Nreal Light AR glasses as it moves closer to the launch of the consumer version of the glasses. The mixed reality company is bolstering the glasses with sets of features that are likely to appeal to end users. The company has now announced that it is adding high-fidelity optical hand tracking solution to the glasses. Nreal is also expanding the platform’s apps and carrier support.
The hand tracking solution is from Clay AIR and will enable a camera-based system that will allow for the tracking of gestures such as grabbing, pinching, pointing and swiping. At the same time, it will display dynamic real-time hand skeleton overlays on top of the user’s real hands. This is similar to the optical hand tracking that was recently introduced in Oculus Quest. If the connected smartphone will be using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or 865 processor, then users can look forward to smooth hand-rendering that will even include the option of displaying full hands, the individual hands or various kinds of custom skins instead of skeletons.
