Leap Motion, VRgineers working together on enterprise-grade VR headsets

By TechTaffy Desk

Virtual reality startup Leap Motion and VRgineers, a virtual reality engineering company producing enterprise-grade VR headsets, have formed a partnership to bring professional VR headsets to market later this year with integrated Leap Motion technology.

In a statement, Marek Polcak, CEO and co-founder of VRgineers, said, “Having this technology is especially important for us because our high-resolution headsets allow users to see 170º horizontally. Now they can move their virtual hands throughout the headset’s entire field of view without losing sight of them.”

The VRHero platform is presently used by automotive designers in companies, such as BMW, Audi, and Volkswagen, for design validation and evaluation.
