Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 Camera Module Evaluation Kit

Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 Camera Module Evaluation Kit is a next-generation optical hand tracking module that allows for natural interaction with digital content. This evaluation kit includes the Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 camera module in a plastic housing with a USB header, enabling easy plug-and-play evaluation. The Stereo IR 170 uses the same core software as its predecessor, the Leap Motion Controller. This software is able to discern 27 distinct hand elements, including bones and joints, and track them even when they are obscured by other parts of the hand. The Stereo IR 170 features a wider field of view, a longer tracking range, lower power consumption, and a smaller form factor.

The Stereo IR 170 Evaluation kit is capable of tracking hands within a 3D interactive zone that extends from 10cm (4”) to 75cm (29.5”) or more, extending from the device in a 170×170° typical field of view (160×160° minimum). This evaluation kit is designed for robust integration into consumer and enterprise-grade hardware solutions, displays, installations, and virtual/augmented reality headsets for AR/VR/XR prototyping, research, and development. Typical applications include touchless public interfaces (interactive kiosks, digital out-of-home), location-based VR/AR experiences, remote-collaboration, healthcare (stroke-rehabilitation, training, medical-imaging), and robotics (telepresence, robotic controls, and AI-assisted teaching).
