Ultraleap launches its second generation of hand tracking cameras, the Leap Motion Controller 2, which will retail at USD 139 and is expected to ship in the summer of 2023.

The Leap Motion Controller 2 improves camera resolution, widens the field of view, and reduces power consumption by 25% compared to its predecessor. The expanded platform support allows content creators to leverage hand-tracking capabilities while enabling VTuber presenters to embody avatars and enhance interaction with applications and games. Ultraleap has sold over one million Leap Motion trackers to date, with 350,000 developers building apps and experiences using the company's hand-tracking technology.
