What is happening on the Augmented Reality technology that Leap was originally showing?

I am much more interested in Augmented then Virtual and was hoping to see Leap move more in that area. I haven't seen anything since July 2015.

You're probably thinking of Magic Leap, which is a completely different company from Leap Motion.

Well that seems like a big trademark problem.

Both formed in 2010. Leap Motion is also doing some Augmented Reality. Hard to fight the over $1,300,000,000 in funding that Magic Leap has been able to raise.

Your 100% right I never realized they were two different companies.

Meta2 is launching in 2 weeks and just had its first public demo on stage today at TED 2016. Maybe that has something to do with it. Links:
