Fectar and Ultraleap launch their cooperation at BETT2023

Fectar, a leading content management system for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) in education and enterprise training, have integrated an Ultraleap hand tracking feature within their platform. Content creators will now be able to build VR training experiences with intuitive hand tracking from the beginning.

The new feature means that Fectar’s customers can now create and share interactive environments with integrated Ultraleap hand tracking, rather than relying on VR controllers.

Fectar develops and maintains a content creation and publishing platform that is aimed at non-technical users. Users build their scene in the platform and can then publish it across multiple compatible devices, including mobile, VR, web or AR glasses. In this case, the hand tracking feature is compatible with any XR device featuring Ultraleap hand tracking – including the Pico Neo 3 Pro. The Fectar App, which is where people can find and share VR/AR experiences, has been downloaded over 6 million times.

Hand tracking interaction is important to VR training applications as it’s an intuitive tool people instinctively know how to use. It positively affects training outcomes, reduces the effort of adoption, and makes applications more accessible. It also allows users to develop real muscle memory for long-term recall by enabling them to do something almost exactly as they would in the real world.

Rens Lensvelt, CTO and Founder of Fectar, said: “We want our customers to be able to create world-class VR training experiences. By introducing Ultraleap hand tracking to our platform we’re giving them an opportunity to level up their programmes by adding an intuitive interaction method.”

Matt Tullis, VP of XR at Ultraleap, said: “The combination of Ultraleap and Fectar provides people with the right tools they need to develop the best education or training programmes – and makes it easy to do so. We already know that enterprise VR programmes improve productivity by 32% . By making that experience even more natural with hand tracking, Fectar customers can expect to see their VR training ROI increase even further.”

Fectar, Ultraleap, Pico and distributor RedboxVR will be at BETT this week (29 – 31 March, Booth ND41). Fectar will be demonstrating the latest Ultraleap hand tracking feature on their platform.
