The Missing Link in VR/AR
summary
Claims that finger-level tracking is now viable after seven to eight years and “hundreds of millions” in R&D and can be embedded for a few dollars per unit; announces open-source headset project North Star (prototype BOM ≈ $1,000, target ~$100) to accelerate wide FOV AR (says <50–90° FOV is insufficient, needs ultra-wide); offers an interaction engine for Unity/Unreal to standardize thousands of grasp/ touch permutations so objects behave predictably across apps and lower the developer burden.
