While the virtual reality headsets like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are quite impressive already, there is no doubt that the technology will be developing rapidly, becoming more immersive, lighter, and less intrusive. Leap Motion, a company known for their motion tracking software and cameras has close ties with many of the larger VR manufacturers, and this last week the company\u2019s CTO David Holz spoke a bit about his vision for future VR\/AR headsets, based on some of the discussions he\u2019s had with various big-name manufacturers. While Leap Motion likely won\u2019t be producing hardware for these future headsets, it is very possible that their software could play an integral part in future generations VR and AR products.<\/p>\n

Holz discussed some of the technology that may be found in third generation headsets of the future, and while he didn\u2019t say when such technology would be available, my guess is perhaps 5\u20137 years. These third generation headsets will likely be transparent, look a lot like a pair of sunglasses, be extremely light weight and rely on Holographic OLED displays which will be able to switch between both AR(transparent) and VR(opaque) capabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re slightly funny-colored,\u201d he said<\/a> as he described these future headsets. \u201cBut they\u2019re pretty reasonable, something that I might wear all day, all the time. And that\u2019s something that, to me personally, is the most exciting. That\u2019s getting into the age of AR\u2026 I\u2019m seeing lots of things ahead of everybody. Behind the scenes, these things are starting to appear more and more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
