The world’s most powerful hand tracking hardware

The Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 camera module uses the same core software as its predecessor, the Leap Motion

Controller. Both can discern 27 distinct hand elements, including bones and joints, and track them even when they

are obscured by other parts of the hand.

Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 features a wider ﬁeld of view, a longer tracking range, lower power consumption, and

smaller form factor. It’s 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 170x170° typical ﬁeld of view (160x160° minimum).

The Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 is a next-generation optical hand tracking module that captures the movement of

users’ hands and ﬁngers so they can interact naturally with digital content. It is designed to be integrated into

enterprise-grade hardware solutions, displays, installations, and virtual/augmented reality headsets for AR/VR/XR

prototyping, research, and development.

The Stereo IR 170 Evaluation kit consists of the Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 camera module in a plastic housing with

USB header, allowing for easy plug-and-play evaluation.

Easy to integrate and use

The Ultraleap Stereo IR 170 is designed for robust integration into consumer and enterprise-grade products, and

can be retro-ﬁtted to existing concepts or hardware. Plugins for Unity and Unreal enable developers

working with two leading 3D development platforms to incorporate hand tracking into their established

workﬂow.
