XR2 HEADSET DOWNLOAD

Ultraleap's fifth generation hand tracking software has been designed and engineered for optimum performance on XR2 based headsets.

The Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pro Eye are fully supported and the Pico 4, Pico Neo 3 Link, and Vive Focus 3 are compatible. Hand tracking on any Meta headset is made possible by tethering the camera to a machine running Windows.

Please note, XR2 is currently only compatible with Ultraleap's Hand Tracking Accessory for Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pro eye, and Ultraleap's Stereo IR 170 Evaluation Kit.

Downloadable packages are available for all Pico headsets and Vive Focus 3, and include the following as standard:

Release Notes

Tracking Service v5.14.0

• Automatic firmware upgrade for Leap 2, 3Di and SIR170 devices

• Frame rate on the Leap Motion Controller 2 is more consistent when connecting and disconnecting the camera

Known Issues

• If using a Stereo IR 170, occasionally the Stereo IR 170 will run at reduced frame rates after prolonged use. Workaround: Restart the headset or let the headset cool down.

• If using a Stereo IR 170, tracking can be flaky when using a USB 3.0 cable. Workaround: Ensure that you are using a USB2.0 cable.

• There is an issue when using QVR devices if you attempt to plug in a Stereo IR 170 (without disabling QVR cameras first) when hand tracking will not work due to hands “flying away” on app open.

• Workaround: in adb shell, run echo "{ "allowFake": false, "allowQVR": false, “allowUVC": true }” > /data/user/0/com.ultraleap.tracking.service/files/ultraleap/CaptureDeviceConfig.json to disable access to QVR cameras.

• Hand tracking may freeze when switching between apps built with versions of our Unity plugin older than 5.12. If an update for the app is not yet available, you can work around this by disconnecting and reconnecting the Stereo IR 170 or reopening the app.

• Connecting an Ultraleap device to a Pico 4 while an application is running will give a pop up asking the user to “Exit to Continue“. Not exiting the application will mean hand tracking is not present. Exiting the application and starting it with the device connected will allow for hand tracking.

• The first application launch on Pico 4 with an Ultraleap device connected will give a pop up asking the user to “Exit to Continue“. Subsequent application launches with the device connected will not show this pop up.

Control Panel v2.2.0

• Added support for new hardware
