Ultraleap

Ultraleap is a developer of mid-air haptics, 3D hand tracking, and gesture recognition technologies, allowing users to receive tactile feedback without needing to wear or touch anything. The company offers modules using virtual touch and optical hand tracking to capture hand movements with accuracy and near-zero latency to offer touch-free control for user interfaces. These systems use proprietary algorithms and supporting hardware to project ultrasound-driven tactile sensations to provide haptic feedback without specific devices.

Ultraleap was founded in 2019 by Tom Carter and Sriram Subramanian, and when UltraHaptics acquired Leap Motion, Ultraleap resulted from the acquisition. The company has locations in Mountain View, California, and Bristol in southwest England.

Ultraleap develops virtual touch solutions for the automotive industry, extended reality applications, and the advertising and marketing industry.

For visual tracking, particularly for hand controls without touch interfaces, Ultraleap offers various stereo visual or camera modules designed to be integrated into other systems. This includes an evaluation kit, including a camera module similar to their integrated unit but capable of being plugged into systems to understand how it can be integrated into a system. The company's Leap Motion Controller is an optical hand-tracking module for capturing the movements of hands for applications ranging from extended reality to touchless kiosks.

For haptic feedback on touchless control, Ultraleap offers the STRATOS Explore, a haptics development kit, which uses ultrasound to provide device-less haptic feedback for users. Similarly, the company's STRATOS Inspire allows users to plug into a touchless interface offering haptics, which can be added to screens as an input device.
