Ultrasonic Transducers

---

Introduction:

The Ultraleap 3D is a ruggedized hand-tracking camera designed for connection to public interactive screens, retail, museums, theme parks, and more are created by Leap Motion, Inc which was an American company that manufactured and marketed a computer hardware sensor device that supports hand and finger motions as input, analogous to a mouse, but requires no hand contact or touching.

How it works:

Ultraleap produces ultrasonic transducers that enable haptics without devices. Users can feel virtual objects in the air and interact with them through hand gestures. The hardware required for this is now being upgraded to make it much more efficient and suitable for mass production.

Mechanism:

Ultraleap emerged in 2019 from the merger of Leap Motion and Ultrahaptics, two companies specializing in hand tracking and XR haptics. Leap Motion focused primarily on hand and finger tracking. Ultrahaptics produced small ultrasonic carpets that make the contours of a virtual object in the air perceptible. After the merger of the two companies, Ultraleap should move forward with advanced XR interfaces. Finger tracking and mid-air haptics should be combined and developed further. However, in addition to the XR industry, Ultraleap has focused on the automotive sector in recent years and wants to replace touchscreen and physical controls in cockpits with haptics.

Future Scope and its applications:

- Metaverse

- Virtual reality
